Just got my MAF translator for my car today. Looks great, quick shipping, good price and I'm sure it works even better! Thanks Mike Brett Bill Smith Auto Parts Bloomington, IL

:eek: Talk about a trip man. Can't say that I've ever had that bad of luck on a road trip. Silly Fords. They make their wheel studs out of bubblegum. :biggrin:

I'll vouch for the1/8th mile times OFF the bottle because.... well I was there! No nitrous bottles, no blower, no turbo. It's an all motor bada$$ car. Sure, it's a full all out race car tubbed and stripped, but so is yours. How about you come to Charleston, IL some weekend for a race since...

Ok 49, I was merely admiring his handiwork. Who cares about post count anyway? We're all here because we like the GN cars and to share information amongst each other. I'd rather if you didn't try to demoralize anyone just because they're new here or don't have a GN.

Holy stainless Batman! Somebody paid attention in shop class.

Bump!

BTW, Tom picked up a half second over his previous best run and almost a second and a half since the last time at the track.

More pics. Spin the tires Tom!

Well, this past weekend TomTomTurbo and I went to Coles County Dragway and ran his car. My car, still sits on jackstands awaiting that one last part to function so, it did not attend. We did have fun with Tom's car though. We got down to Charleston, IL at about 8AM just as the gates opened...

How many miles on it? Any pics?

I agree on the reasons why you wouldn't if it's been proven you don't need one but I want to know WHY you don't need one. BTW, top of the line units from HKS and Tial don't even cost $500 It's more in the $200-$350 range. I believe it took me about an hour to bolt my Greddy Type S up and I...

Well..... are you counting bench racing or not? :biggrin: Truth be told, the Talon hasn't been to the track yet. I've had it for three years and haven't even put plates on it yet. The entire car, save for body and wiring harnesses, has been replaced. Little maintenance parts that never...

Now that we've established what a BOV does and what it can do, back to the real question. Why is it that the GN drivetrain can live without one and no other turbo car that I know of can? If anyone can shed some light on this, it would be much appreciated. Keep in mind, I'm not saying everyone...

I'm just giving you crap about the last time we were out. I know you weren't at your full potential. But, I'll pit my 2 Liter Mountain Dew bottle against your Gallon of Milk any day, or atleast until I get beat. I sense a chugging contest coming on.

I think you're thinking of it wrong here. The main concern is the boost pressure backing up against the throttle body plate and backing itself up until it gets the the turbo and creating compressor surge. By venting some of this pressure off, it prevents compressor surge and puts the air back...

From my experience, most of it is just guessing. Everyone wants to be running low 12s or better and they try to build themselves up to show off in the import community. Take my car for example. Stock, it made 195hp at the crank and somewhere near 130-145 at the wheels. Now, add more boost...

I believe the last time we went to the track you ran a 9.51 in the 1/8th with a 2.6 60ft? If you're sister's Stratus can run faster than that then yeah, I'll race her. Too bad my car hasn't been in any shape to be seen at the track :frown: . Yeah, I'll admit it, I'm three years deep in a...

^^^Exactly. Some DSM's are the same way. It varies from car to car and mostly it's the 95-99 Eclipses and Talons that are able to vent to the atmosphere with theirs on the up-pipe. It's unexplainable because in all reality the MAF is measuring more air than what's getting there.

Besides, the last time you tried to do a burnout with the slicks on the Beauford wouldn't even spin 'em without some water laid down first.
