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

Darn. Anyone know of a cheap engine and turbo that I can blow up for fun?

 

That's the fun part! :D

Don't know about the us but the Volvo B230FT is a pretty cheap engine. (And a really fun one at that)

Mitsubishi Motors will and always exist as the outlet for Mitsubishi CEO's to be seen in their own company cars, not as a full on car manufacturer. Mitsubishi is a huge engineering/manufacturing company - their (culture can't let) execs/ceo's be seen driving around in a competitor's car, they need something with their own brand name on it

Luxo Mitsubishis are rebadged Nissans though. That is what their Execs use.

10HP briggs and stratton + small turbo from a diesel tractor + go cart = spectacular.

wait I just noticed your name, are you possibly a fellow swede? You mentioned Volvo... :P

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

Would probably blow up before the turbo got anywhere near it if my experience with the 2.5hp ones are anything to go by..

I'm a danish person that grew up and currently live in sweden^^ 

Now your location makes sense xD

exactly the point - it's nothing but branding. Japanese culture doesn't want them seen in other brands, even from far distant markets

 

Nissan makes competing products to Mitsubishi (most common in America probably being forklifts)
