turbo or whipple
#121
regardless of anything being said in this thread now, the kid came in and asked what he should do.
We are here to conduct our selves in a civilized manor.
Virtually every person in this thread has told him the LOGICAL options of what to do, just like he asked, and all he does is aruge that it isn't the right way to go.
You can't argue that the whipple is in any way the logical way to go. And regardless of whether it is "possible" or not, it will NEVER be a viable option for anyone, and will NEVER be a mass marketed option. It's too involved in MAJOR fabrication etc on a car that isn't produced anymore
that has too many other incredibly well built and easily installed sytems to make just as much power for less time and money
It will not however be a feasible thing to do on multiple cars
Now on to the other one
I know what its like to be 18 in school and have a passion for cars. I can not believe you got your car as a gift very lucky guy. As for your inheritance money that you are planning on spending on your car, well you are very lucky once again.
I wouldn’t worry about Mike too much. This doesn’t even scratch his money. However I think that he appreciates everyone’s constructive criticism when it come to him squandering the money. I can assure you that he has given this car a lot of thought.

So you can't argue that an eBay supercharger doesn't work,
so you just think since it came from eBay it must be a scam?
Because I used one, and it made positive manifold pressure. Significant, material pressure on a reliable, accurate gauge. Argue that. And please don't use the present tense (Not like you know the difference), I no longer own one. Now I stick to a Garrett water cooled dual ball bearing turbocharger--The best turbocharger made, that exceeds 82% adiabatic efficiency from 6psi to 28psi, and from 4800rpm to 7200rpm on my setup. I challenge you to find one compressor to come within 10% of that AE over that wide of a range, and one that peaks within 5% of it. Let me make it easy, you can't.
It's not a Camaro or Trans Am, I already said that. But it will walk all over my Camaro. Go ahead, laugh in the face of my ugly piece of **** car
. But I don't rely on my inheritance to pay for it. And I pay for my car, I don't have rely on someone giving it to me.
PSR, you need to read again, I'm not jealous in the least.
Quite frankly if I had his car I'd sell it right off.
Or pull every part off and redo it myself--My way.
Then I'd talk ****.
And it isn't just that he can't work on his own car, it's the fact that he talks like he can.
It's fine to not know **** about your car, and to cut the check to someone who does.
But he doesn't know **** about his car, but acts like he does,
then proceeds to talk **** like he already has this all done. Then proceeds to act like he knows **** about my cars/bikes.
I don't care what he can/can't afford. And for him to act superior because he inherited everything he owns is quite ignorant and cocky. He has no place to be either.
The level on the build is very minor. It isn't a hard build. The only problem is the cowl.
But since he won't ever do any of this, we have no problems.
[quote] And how does a beginner mechanic become a master mechanic? By doing it.[quote]
You would not know, Because, you are not a master mechanic now are you. Let the truth be known you are not even close to being a Master Mechanic.
I am fully competent in doing this all myself. Do you think I was born with that? No, I lived and I learned. He hasn't.
But he talks like he has And you don't have to worry about me coming into your shop anytime soon, there is nothing you can do that I cannot.
And that's fine that he has you do his brakes. But then his cocky arrogant ignorant *** comes on LS1Tech bragging about how fast his car stops, how it has Viper brakes, and how much he spent, and blah blah blah, all the time failing to realize that he knows nothing of what he speaks,
because the size of his brakes have no affect on how quickly his car stops. And yah, I'd have the same stance. That's after I sued his T/A and $37,000 inheritance right out from under him. Along with Mommy's house. And Mommy's car. And his *** would be in jail.
Yes Mike, hold your head up. You're the bigger man. You can talk **** on a car that was given to you, and about mods that aren't done to it, and about how much money you have. You're the man Mike. I wish I could be like you. I'm gonna stop for now, I have to go risk my life tomorrow to protect you and your family, so I can go home with my $45,000 a year and pay for my car. Someday you might know what that's like. Because the $250 I'll earn tomorrow means more to me than $37,000 given to me ever will.

ugh, that was ugly well im done posting childish comments. Sorry again for getting out of hand and thank u dan. well first off i would like to say that i have stock brakes (viper what?), not really sure where he got that from.
Second, i joined this forum so i could learn a thing or two about lsx cars. as u know i am kinda new to this car thing so bear with me. i never claimed that i was a master machanic either, as even i realize that quite honestly i don't know too much. Yes the motor will be fully built as i stated in the first post, but thanks for the advice.
And last but not least, i would like to say that i would much rather have my dad in my life more than any car or any amount of money possible. that gap will never be filled
-love u dad rest in piece big guy-

Does anyone else think the Whipple fitting might be a problem?
J/K, again good luck with the build and keep us updated with the progress. I think a huge 3.4 whipple charged f-body would be pimp, plus I want to see the mods done to get it to work. Are you guys using the LM speed kit as a starting point or is this going to be from sratch 100% 1 off build?

Man You know I don't post here much at all but first off psr wants to sponsor and he's going to talk to members like that? Second, the thread starter you came in and asked what everyone thought. People came in and gave you opinions and ideas, you then proceeded to argue and geting into pissing matches with each one of them. Personally I'm not a fan of roots blowers but more power to you if you do go this route. I realize you got alot of money. But, at 17 I would not waste money trying to be an innovator or have the only one of these. Getting around the cowl and windsheild are going to be HUGE isses. I'm not taking sides in anything I just see grown men and a 17 year old kid acting like little girls talking **** on eachother.
That is all have a nice day.
p.s. Don't even bother responding to me with negative bullshit because I won't post in this thread anymore.

There has not been disrespect, as plenty of people have stated night ghost came and asked everyones opinions on "whipple or turbo"- when as anyone can tell already had his mind set on a currently non-existing whipple kit for LS motors-with no intention of going with a turbo.
All I did was clearly explain the reasons why a whipple would not work. He starting smack talk by saying "So yah when you see a 3.4 in person get back to me...", which I promptly did. READ IT.
Just read the entire thread and I'm sure you'll see why the majority of folks on here have taken the stand they have regarding this thread.
And another thing, how do you know if we are old enough to be your kids? Maybe the nursing home should take away your internet access. Hows it feel?
If any moderator gets to read this, this thread is getting WAY out of hand!

This is sucking a lot normally good people into war.
