You would probably get a better response if you posted in the single turbo section. :

King_fish111, you'd better check out twint78's post in the 20B forum for the true meaning of "secret" and "big power", not to mention "pure fantasy"... he's very imaginative, to say the least.

That should be obvious... you just put someone else down for daring to ask about a "pedestrian" single turbo upgrade... apparently you're the only one who can have a "top secret" project??

u should be giving me a thumbs up.im giving u one.or should i cry like the rest and say ur stealing the rx7 spirit.gimme a break.how old r u jim?lets be mature.
You keep acting like we should be buddies... co-conspirators, or something. First, I don't need your personal approval (or care about disapproval) of my project. Second, your "project" is only in your mind, at the moment, and will probably stay there. Mine is reality and is based in reality. I see no similarity whatsoever between the two, so you can drop the "gee, why aren't we on the same side" approach.

Bottom line is that you're full of ****. There are enough holes in your "research" to drive a truck through, and I think that your "project" is merely an attempt to brag by someone who apparently needs to try to impress people he doesn't even know. Therefore, the gall of you telling someone else what they can and can't do is laughable. Until your project is more than just talk, you might want to maintain a more reserved profile... and try to keep from shitting on someone else's.

Jim likes to pick fights if you say something he thinks is meaning less or he just doesn't like. It honiesty isn't worth fighting man. Research a little more on what you need to go single let alone T-78 or T-88, I doubt anybody on this forum will provide the info needed to help you get threw such a swap.

Keep motoring,
Nick

well ****, plumb a t100 in that and throw away the use of the car. it is a 50/50 weight distrubution for a reason. i dont see anything wrong with jim's creation, aside the fact that it will no longer be an rx7. i wish him luck and he obviously has more money than me to blow. good luck to all and i wish you all a nice straight line for racing.

WTF is "Typical Microsoft Mentality"??? Putting a v8 in rx7(please let's not debate again)?? Telling people they're full of ****? I don't understand..

Kingfish, you need to deicide(and tell us) at least how much horsepower you want to make and if you want it to mainly be a street car, a road race car, or a drag car. Need more info to tell you if that kit is what you're looking for. There are different kits that make it easier to reach a given horsepower level and certain ones that have less lag, etc.

Seriously this thread would be better suited in the Single Turbo forum though.

I just happen to be one of the few who is willing to voice what others are thinking.

Not as hilarious as your attempts to come up with a witty response...

and why would i brag about it if its complete bullshit?what would i be bragging about?
Good question... but you're asking the wrong person.

Build it. Prove me wrong. What are you waiting for?

Jim speaks his mind, whereas others choose not to. I know people like Jim (and I work w/ them), and they are blunt and truthful about their thoughts. There is no bullshit or beating around the bush.

We need more people like Jim in this world. You get the smackdown, a can of whoopass, and a big dose of reality w/ these types of people, whereas w/ other people...you get a pile of bullshit.

I don't always speak my mind...at least, not as often as I would like to.

Would you rather have a friend who stares you in the eyes and gives you the truth OR someone who gives you the answer you always want to hear? (It's also like the movies...do you want the raw unedited version OR the fru fru voiceovered public television version?)

jim r we still arguing and being childish?

ur not the only one to speak his mind.like i said ive been corrected plenty of times b4 when i was wrong that spoke their mind.they just happened to be professionals about it.

but im done talking to jim.im a blunt person too,but theres a difference.jim is just on his period right now.when i talked to jim b4 about doing a badass v8 project and tried to get tips on what i should do he was all 4 it.(under a different name).but now that i started something of my own that everyone in this forum would love to see,that japanese have done quite a few times,i get my *** reamed.oh well.

im sure my thing wont be 23 pages long cuz i wont have as many ppl calling me bullsh*t motherf*cker for throwing in a v8(even though i think its a unique idea and support it 100%)and the occasional 50/50 weight distribution war over and over and over.i probably get more of like 10 pages of support.then of course ill have u drop in every once in awhile and call me a pathetic jackass.but to me there is no such thing as a bad comment.cuz it only helps me get it done and keep goin.thanx jim.
