List of Engines...

Yeah, that's right. Another friggin poll! This one is simply to list the engines typically found in our cars. Again, "ported" will have to be limited and thus all lumped together simply because there are so many types. (Plus the poll's so short.) I will probably do a poll just on porting, anyway.

Is a 12A or 13B Turbo ported differently than stock?
I have'nt done a turbo/supercharger/Nos/othershit poll yet.
I tried to make it as fun as possible, but if you are indicating you have a ported 20B (someone did), then tell us about it. If you don't I'll simply chaulk it up to BS.
My goal is to get a rough estimation of the percentage of stock 12A owners here as compared to other engines. But if someone's got something interesting, they should tell us about it. Otherwise it'll just get lost in the shuffle here.

Don't worry, spoolhead...You'll get yer chance!

ok, i was told to be serious. stock 12a but only has midrange power so i would relate it to a midweight gerbal.

Wouldn't Gienia Pigs offer better low end torque over the gerbals?
Maybe have a Hybrid, The Gpigs for takeoff crusing and have the Gerbals kick in for full throttle and top end?

i was thinking about eight gerbals on two activity wheels (one for the front wheels and one for the rear) and convert it into an all wheel drive


By the way I would be interested in eight bridgeported gerbils if anyone has them


hey jeremy can the gerbil be modded to accept the fitting for the flux capacitor

your in honda hybrid area now.

damon, the flux capacitor needs to be detuned to about .846 jigawatts or you could ping and blow a toenail. the difficulty with all wheel drive gerbals is constistent power delivery. if not balanced the car can become very squirly under acceleration.

You know my gerbil wasn't running so well (you know, the wheel thing) so I ATF'd him. He smoked for a while but now he is running great!

Gotta love the ATF!!

Ok, how about adding some NOS?
Perhaps a Snake of some sort in a box behind the gerbal, and you hit the switch, the box opens, the snake hisses the gerbal freaks out, and spins the wheel much faster.
of course he will get tired and run out of steam, kinda like a NOS bottle.

How far can you port a gerbil though?

Are there other gerbils with larger openings?

What sort of Gerbils do the PR guys run?
