e6x....turbonetics.... not for $1100!

 

^ unless he's the ebay king of the world

 

1100 was the old setup the new set up will put him a little over 2k.

 

im the ebay king hahahahahahaa (mad laugh)

 

This thread should be banned, I think it is rediculous! WHo ever does this setup is a frggin idiot! Duh after you buy this setup like three times, because you know your gonna have to, you could have bought something worth it! So everyone who like this setup or thinks it is even half way smart, please uninsert your head from your ***, go buy a ford fiesta and put a hemi in it!

 

you're probably just jealous to see people do more with less.

has he blown his **** up yet?
if the answer is no, stfu. do whatever you want as long as you can make it work.

 

dumb dumb dumb

 

you're calling him names because he did something that worked?

if you can't do stuff yourself, you can always buy kits and pay twice the money for (not in this case, but usually) a lesser product. they cater to people who don't do wtuff themselves.

 

take those manifolds to any quality header shop or machine shop and see what they say not only about the quality of the flanges (always warped_, but the welds (have pictures of broken welds near flange), materials, etc. The turbos may work but they arent spec'd properly, they seem to claim they are larger then they actually are. This is a common problem I see everyday at the shop, people want something for nothing. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! sure you can buy the ebay manifold, turbo, intercooler etc, but match it up to the apexi, hks, greddy, garrett, innovative counterparts and you will see that there is no comparison in any category, this is just a fact. If these setups were so cheap and such good quality why arent there more race teams out there using them instead of paying the hefty price for other pieces? This whole conversation is ridiculous, I had an autochrome manifold and after having to have it reinforced, seeing weld break, and seeing both flanges competely warped and having to be milled flat I realized its crap. I built my own twin setup and was trying to do it cheaply, and realized the further I went the more money it takes to have a quality setup that will last and is trouble free.

 

how light could he have made the car? if he stripped EVERYTHING out, all the extra bs, would that put him at like 2200lbs or something? could that have helped with his low times?

 

you're still going off on that topic? do what you want, let other people do what they want. you're talking **** about the guy who can outrun you...

 

the car is full weight.

if you have seen failure on any rx7 manifold please post a pic of it because i have yet to see one. any ways say it does go your out 175.00. the guy im refering to has also braced the manifold to help with warping under extream temps (glowing).

 

im in the middle of going single myself with a simalar setup and i will keep you guys posted on my results and i will back it all up with proof!

 

Nah were just tired of the I can build a 11 sec. car for a grand so you must be a idiot for spending more threads

 

Wait wait wait fd3sr1 who is this that is running this kind of time. I have been to the only track around this area a lot have not got to run my car yet but I have never seen a rx run there yet I have only seen one other in Springfield. I cant wait to run my car there just got my datalogit in. I would like to see this car run. who’s car is it? what color. i would like to see the car will he be there friday night? if so i sould be there in my rx. I hope if i get my tires in.

 

Good. In the meantime please stop spewing verbal diarhea and get his magical $1100 setup and then back it up with timeslips. If you can show me a breakdown of the parts for $1100 and show me a timeslip and video of an 11 second run then i'll eat my shorts...

Less typing and arguing and more working on the car please...

 

I'm sorry, but isn't what he said have to do with this whole topic? Last time I checked it did...Maybe you should take some of your own advice and let people do what they want. He had the e-bay manifold, didn't like it, so he made his own. So now why are you commenting on it!?

Again, i'm truly sorry, but can you show me where he was "talking ****" about the guy in that post? The only "**** talking" I can find is from you with your comment "you're talking **** about the guy who can outrun you..." May I ask if you know what kind of times he has/can run? Maybe you could be so kind to show us your time slips/dyno graphs with these ebay products?! Oh, and while your at it, I think we'd all LOVE to see proof that this guy is even in the 11's, and that what has been stated is truly what he's running in his car.

it took you like 3 weeks to come up with a response? ehhh uhhh...nevermind.

 

i have heard alot of crap about it. but have not seen any fail my self yet. know a few people with them and there still going.

 

It was bumped to the top by FD3SR1, didn't bother to see when you wrote that. I'll tell ya what though, since it took me 3 weeks to respond, i'll give you 3 weeks to come up with some answers.

hey dood, i FINALLY saw an fd manifold crack!!!

 

HELL YES!!!

Seriously? Have any pics of it?

-Alex

 

enough with the manifolds...buy an HKS cast T04 manifold, they cost 400$ RETAIL. i'm sure you can find one cheaper...why go with ss autochrome.

i have seen them crack and break with my own eyes. I have seen an SR20DET one warp at the head. the thickest piece on the damn unit warped. i've seen honda ones crack and break in half. why cheapskate a nice car like an FD. you spent the money on the car, now spend the money on the upgrades. this isn't like turbo charging a CRX in your back yard.

 

Kinda hard to believe 11's with 1100 when 1,089 is how much my PFC and commander cost . But I won't doubt anything yet.

naw, i'll go take some though. this is one of the really old ones with the thin flanges--then it was welded on, on top of that.

if it had broken right at the weld, i'd blame that, but it looks like it blew the pipe out right at the crease towards the turbo flange. i know the engine wasn't tuned for **** and it was severely abused, so elevated egt's might have played a role in its demise, but i've FINALLY seen one....ONE broken.

but then again, any manifold will break under that kind of abuse...
