Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

I thought those were the proper people to tag. But I wasn't positive.

 

I've also worked 42 hours since Thursday. Am tired.

I still dont know how much power mine makes, if it isnt 300 with stage 3 tune it's gotta be really close. If everything goes well I might get the bigger turbo in 2019

I've been gone on vacation all last week and had to stand in my buddy's wedding on the weekend. I've doubled my total mileage on the FoST though and it was nice to let the engine breath for 4-5 hour drive!

 

I've also got some pics of my friends MR2 that I'll have to get on here eventually...

One of my good buddies in college had one of these up until a couple years ago, he loved the shit out of it.

 

He also said that there were only a certain number of replacement transmission that were ever made and they're gone now, so when the trans (inevitably) eats 3rd, you're looking at either a used transmission with the same issues, or one of the only handful of hardened gearsets ever created for these. I guess there is one guy running a factory bottom end and N2O for 600whp on his drag SHO, talk about the most badass guy on the short bus. 

 

My buddy ended up blowing up his motor shortly after buying the car and bored it out and rebuilt it as a 3.2L. Was a pretty cool rev happy motor. I think one of his buddies bought it from him when he sold it. 

 

Pretty neat car for a Taurus though.

Won't fill out the indentation. And i want it looking stock. (Well as stock as it can with the SS hood and hatch) 

 

The cummins is just a heavy sack o-shit. I mean they're good engines. In trucks. 

But if i was going for a diesel swap i'd have to go for a volvo D5 engine. Since it would theoretically fit with a slim oil pan.

D5 in a camaro ... need a helper? :P

Going to have to agree. Still not swapping though xD 

Loved the 2016 XC70 we rented. Full on D5 with an auto that would bangshift like it was a touring car. 

Would love one. But they are still up at 30k..

The one we rented was the big D5244T10. So the full 440nm's. Made the golf seem like a pedal car at the very least.
