Turbo SHO ISN'T BLOWN, NOW ITS FIXED!!!

[1995SHO9]

First off I want to say I'm kinda offended by the response to my friends post asking for suggestions on tuning.

Secondly I want to confirm that yesterday when I drove my sho, it had good compression levels and was running fine except for leaning out which i believe is a bad fuel pump.

Just wanted to **** the rumors i blew it up as it couldn't be less true.

John, your boy is a tool. Period. I'm actually kinda peeved I didn't get to chime in on that thread to tell him before it got nixed. If I were Beth (who has the patience of a saint), I would've banned his ass back to Netscape v1.0.

He didn't ask for suggestions on anything, from what I read (could decipher?) in his post. It read like "I don't need you to tell me what to do because I know what I'm doing and more than you do but this car isnt running right what could it be oh by the way its definitely not the tune."

On the issue of smoke from the crankcase vent... well, any significant pressure from the crankcase vent is indicative of combustion gases getting past something it shouldn't be getting past. Rings, valve stem seals, cracks/ holes in the pistons... in short there's a problem that needs to be addressed in the engine.

If I were you, I would find someone who knows (a) how to address a group properly when asking for assistance with an issue, and (b) who knows what they're doing under the hood. From the couple of questions I gleaned from that mess of a post, there are questions in there he should know the answer to if he's tasked with tuning your car.

*edit*
I've come to realize that I've misspoken, and as such I retract my statement about him not knowing what he's doing under the hood.

He was just too lazy to do any sort of proper diagnosis before coming on here and asking everyone to spare a moment because he couldn't be bothered to spare one himself.

My apologies on any problems this may have caused anyone.

Well right there you were fair enough in how you phrased that.

I personally thought he phrased it fine, he was just saying that he didn't want people saying what we know it isn't already. I back Matt up 100% there as he is trying to help me out.

Anyways, yes, I get a slight smoke out of my pcv valve. Nothing more than I've seen on my friends N/a show. I have been driving it for the past 5 months and it hasn't changed in amount and the car ran very strong. So it is deffinatly okay. I talked to somedude that ran a 12.79 ish on here, and he had some smoke coming out of his pcv valve as well from what I recal. It is nothing out of the normal. I know when I did blow it up a year ago, it was smoking visably from under the hood, that is not the case now. It also passed a leakdown and compression test with flying colors, the engine is in very good shape.

Thanks Nick lol, thats insane.

I can honestly say when I ran the quarter mile several times, I barely got a drop or two out of oil.

Matt's usually a nice (and, more importantly, coherent) guy so I'm just gonna chalk it up to nerves/frustration. John, I wasn't aware that anybody thought you blew your turbo SHO up? Anyway, if it's not billowing smoke out I wouldn't worry too much about it, especially if it passes both compression and leakdown tests. Maybe your SHO is just breathing fire cos it's that f#%*ing cool!

You ran the 1/4 Mile? What were the times?

What's up John? Everything Good? I hadn't heard the rumors, but I'm glad to hear your SHO is running.

+1

13.2? I know you didn't crack the elusive 12 second mark.

edit: To comment on the pics that nick posted. I had to dump that 20oz bottle out 3 times that day because it kept filling up with oil. What a pain in the ass. Such a fire hazzard! That bottle was in response to coating a friends show quality mustang in oil in a race on the street. I felt so bad because his car was one of the cleanest i've ever seen.

 

[luigisho]

How much boost are you running and is the fuel system stock?

 

[Sho Amo]

GTECH FTL!


As far as the previous post... If you're coming here asking for help, accept what you get with a post like that. Be VERY clear and you're more likely to avoid the things you've already hashed out. One of the biggest concepts people on forums cannot seem to grasp is proper grammar, punctuation, layout, etc (spelling errors happen - real errors). Yes, this is true you are no longer in English class, however, I would hope you could have taken something from that class. If it's hard to read, WhyTF should I have to put in the extra work just to figure out what you are trying to say? If you want to pay me, I'll read whatever you want, however, when asking for an opinion/facts/help from more experienced people who you are now relying on to assist you, the least you can do is make it easier on them. Honestly, it's not asking much.

The period between "however" is questionable as there wasn't a need to start a new sentence. You could use ";" or "," as it is a transistion and I wasn't completely wrong in using a comma. The second "that" is also questionable.

I CALL 100% B.S. John is too much of a sissy to run at the drags.


The ONLY time I have seen John run at the drags was way back when his car was N/A.
He was rippin off low 15's.

The period between "however" is questionable as there wasn't a need to start a new sentence. You could use ";" or "," as it is a transistion and I wasn't completely wrong in using a comma.

Ok, if you really want to get into the nitty-gritty of it, we can do that. The semicolon was acceptable in that use, but both parts of the sentence referenced the class, they weren't really interdependent. Besides, assertational ideas are generally more effective when kept in shorter sentences. So basically, yes, it was more a stylistic change than a grammatical change - and it could 'legally' go both ways - but I think my way looks cleaner.

The second "that" is also questionable.

Here again we are getting into the argument of what is acceptable and what is proper. "That" is used to introduce a subordinate clause as the subject or object of the principal verb in this sentence (long, drawn-out description courtesy of dictionary.com). Basically, you have two noun/verb pairs in your sentence ("I would hope" and "You could have taken"), and they need a conjunction to separate them in order for the sentence to be technically correct; that is why I put "that" there.

You can't out-grammar-**** the Grammar ****. John can attest to this.
