Boosted Performance single turbo build

YzGyz · 04-01-2014, 11:18 AM

I read some of that. I was looking for something permanent not a quick swap back and forth.

Thanks

Why? It'll pass inspection catless in TX. The only reason to worry about a cat here is the smell.

And even if it's a quick swap you can leave it in permanantly.

If he uses the mil.spec cat and places it far enough post-turbo, it should hold up just fine

Fast Intentions use the mil spec in their cat back and it seems to hold up just fine with boosted cars

It's the smell thing. the other thing is respect towards others. Just because I'm in the car and can't smell it don't mean the car behind me can't. I know it bothers me when a desiel punches it in front of me. What if we are in traffic (you know houston) and we have a baby on board behind me.

Then they should roll up their windows. Jk my gf hates the smell, but I think she's getting desensitized to it.

Then go E85 if you can. It doesn't really smell much and if anything maybe a bit like burnt rum....Mmmmm...yummy. Plus it's safer to breath.

I'm trying to stick to gas. If I schedule myself so that I work 5 days back to back, I can have 6-8 days off in a row. I do spontaneous traveling here and there due to the fact that I only have to work 3 days and week. This It's just safer to be able to drive anywhere and be able to buy gas. Even if I have to buy 91 vs 93.

Even though this is the fourth largest city in the nation, there aren't a lot of E85 stations around. Must be the O&G capital of the world thing.

E85 smells sweet. It's very distinctive. I love it all

elperuano · 04-01-2014, 08:36 PM

^Same here in Florida. Not that many options and I can't have every driving adventure centered around e85 gas stations. Plus due to running big injectors and fuel pump that gas needle drops extra fast.
Would be nice to get it and see what kinda numbers I can make but it's just not practical for me.

I factor fuel and its readily availability as part of the "reliability" factor. Car reliability = able to keep on the road with little to no work, stress or investment of any kind.

TopgunZ · 04-01-2014, 11:57 PM

I guess were fotunate to be near the grain belt here at mile high. I drive by 3 stations that carry it just on my way too work. One holds steady at 2.89 a gallon. Yes she drinks like a hog but it is 100% worth it. Timing, safety, smell, power, and oh yeah that whole green house thing. Luv the corn!

Not to mention driving up the food costs of everyone, and causing food supply issues in the third world.

I'd still use it with a smile if we had access to a flex fuel setup.
