    As predicted 6 cylinder turbos are not the future.

    Yea, 84 has the suck through throttle body. But, I have a half dozen 2 piece blow through intakes on the shelf...and I think I still have a conversion hat for the Garrett turbo...

    As predicted 6 cylinder turbos are not the future.

    I'd be tempted, except that you're on the wrong coast. And I'm basically broke at the moment with my duplex rebuild. :BangHead:

    As predicted 6 cylinder turbos are not the future.

    The turbocharger still cuisinarts the exhaust note. I don't run a muffler on either of my turbos (the Daytona or the minivan) and they're very mellow. I DO, however, run a muffler on my Cummins with the 4" turbo-back exhaust. It's my work truck and I get home from gigs between 1am and 3am...

    "Please S T O P saying this" thread.

    Not sure if I posted this before or not, but it happened to me a bunch this weekend and pisses me off. I get a soda, or a sandwich, or someone hands me a piece of equipment. Whatever. I say "thank you". The response I get is "of course". WHAT???? How about "you're welcome"? You know, like...

    As predicted 6 cylinder turbos are not the future.

    Same with my 3.0 ecodiesel Grand Cherokee. 460lb ft out of a 3.0 v6 turbo. Sure, it's a diesel...but still, small displacement and force-fed.

    As predicted 6 cylinder turbos are not the future.

    All this is why I still have my 91 Daytona turbo. Nowhere near the same league as the GNX or TTA, but still plenty of memories. And, same mod streak - bigger turbo, bigger injectors, 62mm throttle body (up from stock 46mm), gasket match intake ports, 2.5" exhaust (WITH cat, to control boost...

    Free is good in the neighborhood

    You can also build a trebuchet with duct tape... (You'll note the counterweight used...) Here's a how-to, complete with measurements, ratios, and torque outputs:

    Anyone know how I can get a title in Pennsylvania?

    That's the process in MD for a registration...or, for a vehicle that has been insurance-totalled. Lost title? I don't know. I have an 86 Shelby GLHS that I need to do this for though...but in MD.

    "Fried clutch" "Burnt brakes" "Valve cover oil leak" Or my personal favorite "70s vinyl interior"

    As predicted 6 cylinder turbos are not the future.

    I've liked them since new. Drove a GNX in 87, turned the salesman green...couldn't convince Dad to buy it though (I had just gotten my license). Last typhoon I looked at was in key west. It was ROUGH...and he wanted 25k for it. Not GN-crazy numbers but still more than that one was worth IMO.

    As predicted 6 cylinder turbos are not the future.

    Yep - to keep up with the GNs turbo six. That thing was a BEAST. Local dealer has a Typhoon on the lot...I'm debating stopping by.... GN power, AWD...hmmm....

    What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

    Makin a little noise with Slaughter and Great White With help from 16 JBL VTX A12s, 12 JBL VTX B28 subs, 10 VTX A8s, and a metric ****-ton of cables...and lights...and truss... Nice quiet Saturday night.

    Newer cars are stupid.

    It's called a "re-zero" procedure. The pedal sends a variable voltage signal. The throttle body (on a gasser; there is none on a diesel) reads and converts that signal to throttle opening angle. You have to baseline the computer so it knows Xvolts=throttle closed, and Yvolts=full throttle. It...

    So sick of rain!

    I used to work for an RV dealer. Any camper needs to be resealed annually. It dries, it shrinks, and it cracks...and it leaks. Use the correct sealant - NOT that stupid flex-seal crap! Self leveling sealant for rooftop seams, it comes out like marshmallow fluff and settles into its spot...

    Where did you and your car go today

    Took the Charger to work today. 99 in the shade, ac doesn't work...but the engine stayed nice and cool even in traffic!

    As predicted 6 cylinder turbos are not the future.

    Always loved (and still love) my Mopar 2.2 and 2.5 turbos... Up to about 18psi, you don't have to change anything. Over that, swap the torque-to-yield headbolts for 11mm ARP studs and use a good MLS headgasket, and you're good for over 35psi with appropriate fuel and spark changes. Stock bottom...
