Holy crap real turbos.

Just as one guy delivers an utter letdown, a new hope emerges!

 

[GotGrip?]

****** genius, this guy!!!

There is a guy that used 4 turbos on a civic, I think they were the snails from a 1.0 ecoboost or something like that. They were tiny as ****, can't imagine you'd it was for function though.

Edit:

Snowmobile turbos sorry!

@bpd1151 how many miles does your car have? Was just thinking about that today randomly.

81k

I'm still wondering how your local dealer (with their offer of "top dollar") can explain how your car is "at its peak of value now" compared to say a few months from now when its back running and driving...

******* myself out once again (& perfectly happy to do so ).....

Took advantage of the incredibly nice weather this weekend (Summer of 2020's likely last gasp here in the Midwest) to install my current engine builder's company logo (Max Power Automotive) onto the rear of my SHO's windshield.

Kind of challenging to take proper pics, as there's not much room behind the car and where it's positioned within my garage.

But one gets the point.

Anyhow, should be good for like 100hp+ right?

Bwahahahahaha

If it's on the outside, and has a dimpled texture like a golf ball, it should reduce your drag by as much as 15%, while increasing downforce another 8%, per that Myth Busters episode. Your top speed should exceed 202 now. Of course, it will fly off as soon as you power up your subs. Sorry. (Leave the trunk open, and hopefully that will suck it in.)

 

[bpd1151]

Hahaha.

Thanks @GHNorth.

The laugh was needed.

10/20/2020......

Not a big update by any means, but I was able to exchange a few texts with Uwe Ostmann over at XDI this morning. Asked him to "take my money" which he obliged and invoiced me accordingly. So the new XDI Injectors have been paid for.

Also, chatted with the engine builder as well recently. He's in the process of making room in his shop in order to accept the shell of my car to be housed there and some assembly / install work being able to begin.

Hoping to get the car out of my garage, and towed over there sometime in November. Certainly hoping to get it there before any snow flies in my area.

So that is all. Hope everyone's well. Seems like the COVID-19 #'s are going up all over the country. Yikes. Not a good sign. But in my own very light research, as it relates to the history of pandemics, there's not once been a "3rd wave". Ever. Of any kind of pandemic.

So hopefully all of us everywhere can manage through what is appearing to be the onset of the "2nd wave" and we can all come out of it ok.

fingers crossed

Good stuff. Just another step closer.

Awe yeah baby. Lookie lookie at what was delivered to my doorstep just now.

Blazing fast turn around from Uwe over at Xtreme DI.

From invoicing (& me paying said invoice immediately) to packing/shipping and delivery to my door.... a scant, blazing fast 3 days!

Big thanks to Uwe Ostmann over @ XDI.

Super excited to be implementing these inconjunction with the (previously purchased) XDI HPFP60 for my re-build.

**does a happy dance**

More updates as they occur. Hope everyone enjoys their weekend.

I drool every time I see mine! Great addition! XDI makes some gooooood stuff!

 

[bpd1151]

Agreed! The platform's very well served by having so many quality options for upgraded fueling thanks entirely to the fine folks over at Xtreme DI.

I encourage others who are desiring fueling upgrades to check them out and more importantly.... make a purchase accordingly.

So important to support those that support the platform!

I agree. Quiet indeed. Uncomfortably so.

Nothing to report unfortunately.

I'm in a holding pattern waiting for the builder to make room in his shop to be able to accept the shell of my car.

I have expressed to him though that I'd really appreciate getting it out from my own garage, and over to his facility before the snow begins flying here.

His reply was that the other projects he's working on, have been giving him grief.

I remain hopeful though.

fingers crossed

Funny how things come to the fore front.

Discussing with my builder earlier today, the conversation that got brought up revolving around the higher volume aftermarket oil pump, I asked about a reasonable time frame to get the SHO out from my garage and over to his shop.....

He mentioned that he's been making progress with the other projects that he's working on, and is achieving success in making room to accept my car so that assembly/install can commence.

He said likely in a couple of weeks.

So I was elated to be provided that news.

Just thought to update y'all.

Was thinking this is bpd 1151 retirement build....

 

[bpd1151]

It may be.

I mean shit, I ain't get'n any younger, and 2024 will mark 30 years in my profession.

Not saying I'll pull the pin then, but it's looming.
