To be fair, I'd imagine an expert Ford installer somewhere would be able to jimmy-rig that setup to work on an auto, no? What's the big deal what the transmission is, its just pumping air into the engine.

It's most likely transmission cooler being in the way for the heat exchanger, or just don't feel confident with covering the auto under warranty with the added torque. There is more to it than just bolting an air pump onto the intake.

The whole point of that package is that it retains a factory warranty. Service tech or not, you bypass what the factory guidelines there's not going to be any factory warranty on the car.

Forged one off specialty pistons on a built built project car != stock rods and pistons in a 2011 mustang gt.

Also, detonation is only one of many issues. 11:1+ static cr and 27 psi is going to lift the head and or eat head gaskets, not if but when. Good tuning and strong parts can only go so far when stuffing 90 lbs of shit in a tablespoon of space :awe:

Still an interesting project, thanks for sharing :) Will be checking it out at home in further detail.

I chuckled a little bit realizing that Honda is high compression and 27 psi and still doesn't break the psychological 500 hp mark.

Yup... that's a scary amount of compression to be running at 27psi boost...

Well, it's only got 1.54L of displacement.

lol, man, this guy is a huge pathetic loser. Why the hell would you lie about a car online? To impress anonymous people on the internet. I just don't get it.

And it doesn't take much effort to back up a claim. After all, he went through the effort of creating the post in the first place. It sure ass hell takes less effort than creating a whole new thread about a make believe girl. :rolleyes:

Or rather he claims to have done that. Actually, I think there's several people in the video forum that are making shit up about what cards they own, but that's an entirely different can of worms.

As for this guy, he could be yet another banned member returning, or maybe its just another young kid that thinks he's being funny making shit up. Who knows or cares, he'll make a fool of himself like all the others and hopefully provide a bit of amusement for us before getting banned for it.

I get tired of too many making up shit here. I am pretty open and consistant.

It's amazing when you here someone mope about not being able to meet chicks or life revolves around gaming and then out of the blue they are suddenly lining up supermodels.

Yes, I applaud you with being open and consistent with your bullshit, unlike the OP.

By the way, learn to use proper spelling of words for proper situations. For example, the word hear.

True. I'm thinking about B16/B18 turbo builds that are 500-600 HP without exotic pistons or anything, just typical forged low compression boost pistons.

But then even those probably don't have the crazy torque curve this 1.54L probably does with that kinda of compression and a roots blower, christ.

Damn you took that bait :)

check out my other post about the same time where I put in grammer in another thread.

I bolded it like above in that one.

Your blog is probably very accurate...have you ever had counseling?

When you look into the mirror, do you start an argument with yourself?

You've been caught 100% making shit up trying to impress people in the Garage and are consistently the biggest braggart here.

Not trying to open old wounds but don't act like you're a paragon of virtue. Nothing quite as bad as this but still.

Please post where I have made anything up. Seriously, please do so now. That has been my challenge even posting up my acceptance letters to pharmacy school and test scores in the past.

What old wounds are you talking about as well? Pretty much anything found out here I have provided the details on.

Face it guys like you and dividebyzero wish you could be me. You spend so much time of your day hoping to get one up on me it's utterly pathetic.
