Its been over a month since my car moved. Slowboy finally stopped living up to their name and sent my custom compressor housing. Now, all i need to do is cram a Perrin 3" inlet hose under the stock intake manifold while keeping the TGVs and their motors on the car.

[BlackBulletTSi]

The only conversation I wouold start from that beer is how much Canadians SUCK! haha they can't drive for anything haha no offense but wow I've seen a couple around here that just can't drive and completely just like cut me off and all sorts of idiot driving things.

[TehWagon]

I was gonna guess cirrhosis. :roll:

And the metal thing was the new liver. Better than Homer's artificial kidney, an empty beer can with whistle glued to it. :mrgreen:

hey...that was mean :cry:

[seneca]

so is it installed?!?! oh and why are you always so damn negative Sandra?

[alachua]

alright class...who can tell me what is wrong with this picture.

:mad: :furious: :mad:

-Cliff

[seneca]

uhhh..... wtf mate?

[TehWagon]

ok, it was been previously stated that i don't know too much. somebody skool me!

[teh DIRT]

well im kinda seeing that the housing on the left has no possible way to attach of bolt to anything. bummer

[teh DIRT]

and maybe its the way the pic is angled.....but the housing on the left looks like there is no passage to the outlet.

[UnderPoweredRS]

did they forget to mill it out?

[seneca]

did they forget to mill it out?thats what I thought.

[teh DIRT]

yeah from what i see there is no passage...bummer

[alachua]

no, there is a passage under there to exit...but apparantly, that housing is meant to be affixed without a back plate using some sort of snap ring. It is also meant for an externally gated turbo, as there is no way to affix an internal gate's actuator to it. It is the wrong housing...but slow boy is going to take it back, and hopefully get me the correct housing.

This turbo project has been the most tiring thing I have undertaken in a long time. At this point, I have decided that I won't even bother getting the car fully tuned until next spring, and instead, will spend the money on fixing my pickup truck...

for all those keeping score, I have terrible luck. Oh, and there is no such thing as Karma, trust me.

[Chair-Force]

buhahahahahaha

the funneh

[criz]

ah sh1t... sorry cliff! :\

you def turned me off from slowboy

[the mike]

Sounds like you are due for some good news man, jeez. And I thought this thread was on the up and up.

[seneca]

like you needed to be turned off criz. I been bad mouthing mike huml and his crew for a year now. LOL

[SexyDSM95]

Here is your problem....neVar order from SBR...again. The best advice I can give anyone. Sure they will gladly take it back and send you what's right hopefully it won't take 2-3 months. The only thing that sucks (that I really really want to order) are their internal o2 dumps. But I have been holding back and waiting for someone else to start producing them.

[TehWagon]

:sidebar for dumb girl: what's an o2 dump /what does it do?

<--- too lazy to do a search

[seneca]

its a mitsi thing you wouldnt understand.

[SexyDSM95]

You ever hear me let on my car Ash? And there is just this beastly kinda sound. That's the o2 dump, it's used for venting the wastegate gases to the atmosphere. To put it simply, the less exhaust a turbo has, the better the exhaust for that turbocharger! It also helps eliminate a crap load of boost creep.

its a mitsi thing you wouldnt understand.
You shush...go spend your $5k to knock off a second.

[TehWagon]

so similar in theory to a wastegate or part of it somehow?
(sorry for ot- i'm almost finished!) pooooor cliff...... :o

[S4toSTI]

Atually it was the same time.

[SexyDSM95]

(sorry for ot- i'm almost finished!) pooooor cliff...... :o
Ok ok, put it this way...Stock, these gases are sent back to the main exhaust via the O2 housing. Some aftermarket manufacturers make an O2 housing that allows you to dump these gases straight from the wastegate to the atmosphere. This supposedly reduces spool uptime, and increases flow drastically, and helps with boost creep. It's also loud as hell and get's the male attention j/k

Atually it was the same time.
Sorry I have no clue what you are talking about. You are not part of the inner-circle of this inside joke j/k <3 Barry.

[seneca]

least I started int he 12's with an intake exhaust and a tune. Still workign the bugs out of this setup but thursday is approaching quickly.

We shall see how I do "stock" with a good tuning...you also spent $26k more then me for the vehicle itself so I would hope you are faster :(

[TehWagon]

haha- ok thanks...

back to cliff... do we need to do a road trip to beat up people at sbr or what?

[S4toSTI]

Sorry I have no clue what you are talking about. You are not part of the inner-circle of this inside joke j/k <3 Barry.
I hate you... jk well sometimes i do, but not all the time but sometimes when your mean like that and you make me cry in front of my computer.

[seneca]

well see if we can do a little better come thursday and thanks for the support barry. If you take off your skirt and actually run I will be sure to embarass you with my "same time" car.

[SexyDSM95]

I hate you... jk well sometimes i do, but not all the time but sometimes when your mean like that and you make me cry in front of my computer.
That's hawt...making people cry turns me on. Along with turbos when you are sent the right parts to bolt them on (trying to get back on track for Cliff)

[BlackBulletTSi]

Sorry to hear about that Cliff, I hate when companies rip you off like that. SilverBullet just went through the same thing with another company with there header for the LSJ motor. Anyway hope you get that dealt with quickly.

[alachua]

So, to recap:

My car is still broke.
Slowboy sucks ass.
Ash should pick up "maximum boost" by corky bell
I do not turn sandra on.
S4 and I don't get the inside joke.

Think that wraps it up nicely...they didn't name those 'notes' after me for nothing.

[99SL2_Modder]

Making sure to taint your thread with my avatar.

[TehWagon]

you said 'taint' :lol:

[seneca]

ooh you guys are gonna t3h bannage if you keep tainting things. cliff what has slowboy said they are going to do to resolve this? when is the vendor review thread going up on nasioc?

[alachua]

Slowboy said to get the housing back to them through full throttle. I shipped it yesterday, it should be there tomorrow.

Once this project is done, there will be a full thread thanking all those involved that deserve it, and one recounting all the issuses with SBR.

As for his taint...I figure I deserve it, seeing on how I gave him the avatar.

-Cliff

[alachua]

well, just to bump an old ass thread:

Last week I finally thought to myself "hey, remember that housing you ordered...damn, you never got the other one back." So I called Full Throttle who was very polite about refunding my money. The person I spoke with said that when she saw an open invoice that old, she called SBR, and they said they had talked to me, and I never got back to them. I guess I mistook calling 4 times and being told the person I needed to talk to not being there, for telling them not to worry about my part.

Anyway, full throttle was very good in handling the situation, I am out prolly $40 for shipping, and have no intention of trying to get the correct housing any more. I will make due with my make shift setup until I decide to sell it and put a Holset on the car.

-Cliff

[S4toSTI]

Sorry i am a noob but holest?

[alachua]

Sorry i am a noob but holest?

They come on Dodge turbo diesels. Deadbolt (www.boostplanet.com) has some info about them. They are very effecient, tend to spool quite well for a larger turbo, and can be had cheap.

Though, it will require some 'customizing'.

-Cliff

[S4toSTI]

Ahh well thats what u allentown guys are good at 'customizing'

[hummerman88]

no...i've had a drinking problem for a while...

-Cliff

alwayes remember this, drinking isnt a problem. its a solution, lol

[alachua]

alwayes remember this, drinking isnt a problem. its a solution, lol

yeah, do a search for threads started by 'alachua', then look back around april through july of last year...it may have been a problem. :cool:

-cliff

[Honest_Bob]

drinking problem.... I woulda never thought that after you were showing off your beer chugging capabilities at crocks that one night, after that McDonalds meet.

Where have you been?



btw TOM PETTY FOR LIFE!!!!! :thumbup:
