He's not taking the right approach to selling that car. Observe the thread about selling a Lamborghini - you need tons of hot babes in skimpy ass bikinis laying all over it dude!

"OMFG lololololol Stimpy, don't you know, cold air intakes are totally for ricers! OMFG you're such a ricer lolololol."

Looking at my DOHC crank, it appears solid.. there's an oiling passage that goes diagonally from mains to pins I think (been awhile, could be wrong) but it appears to be solid. As for whether you could turn them down to Honda size, I have no clue. I'm assuming the idea is friction reduction? In the ...

Is Derranged pre 88? Does the cost of Corvette calipers, rotors and caliper brackets make it more expensive overall than the Lebaron shit? Those mounting brackets Bubba drew blueprints for look incredibly easy to make compared to the brackets for the LeBaron swap. I also have access to a machine sho...

I thought U235 decays and spits out 3 neutrons, which (hopefully) nail 3 more U235, which put out 3 apiece? Maybe I'm smoking. On a similar note, don't they throttle the (chain) reaction by raising and lowering rods of neutron absorbing shit between fuel rods to reduce the "gain" of the re...

It does matter if it's supercharged or not. The heads have provisions for fitting the injectors on the SC motors, while the N/A motors have injectors in the manifold. Also the engine internals are set up differently for blower use, namely compression ratio and stuff. It won't be cost effective to tr...

That's pretty cool. I love how it never drops below 8000 RPM at any time, except for a short drop to 7 grand off the line. I'm not a real Honda fan, but there was another video I have on here of a 600+ HP turbo civic hatch, it sounds far more insane than that. It was reaaaallly wierd watching the th...

Nitrous is obviously an oxidizer. An intake manifold charged full of fuel and nitrous probably makes a pretty nice bomb if ignited. As said above, I bet the wet shot really does wonders in that department since you have a shot of fuel and nitrous already premixed. In those little hobby torches, they...

I guess more flow is better. However, I suspect that some of those "short ram" intakes actually create enough air velocity at a resonant frequency/rpm that it causes a natural ram-charging effect on high volumetric efficiency motors. This may or may not be worth jack shit, but the idea is ...

Is this another one of those things built on the stock base model engine with automatic?

Get a big fucking gun. Then proceed to field strip, clean, and reassemble it over and over. If you do it anyways, shoot yourself in the foot. If you forget again, shoot yourself in the nuts. You won't forget anymore.
