LOL too loud.



my neighbors were cool with the LM2 on the car until I did the motor swap. that + pacesetter long tubes, ory pipe and no cats caused the car to sound like it does above.

there are a lot of emissions friendly camshafts on the market, I am not sure but I think the one in my car is CA friendly as well and it's roughly the same size as the Texas Giant cam, which is huge. I want to say Ed Curtis has some and another company that's slipping my mind.. the one that does the polluter cam also makes ones that will go through emissions fine.

Honestly it makes it a totally different car going the head/cam route. I have a stock Ls6 intake, big cam, stock heads, a lid and exhaust and that's pretty much my only "power" mods aside from the bottle. It makes for a very tame driver until you smash the loud pedal, then it's very, very violent.

Thats why I love having a turbo. Below 4000 it's sedate and slow, above that it hauls. When it ramps into boost, that kick in the ass feeling is great.

I might have missed it but what do you drive?

If I keep the car much longer the next step is to tear the motor down and put it back together with 8.5:1 compression, stick a couple of gt35r's low mounted where the fog lights should go and boost it until I'm afraid of it. With nitrous it should make 20psi where ever I set the stall at :)

An old r32 skyline. 2 liter straight six that absolutely howls :P If I hadn't lost my camera I'd go out and get some exhaust clips. Calling it loud is an understatement.

and I have no sound system in it :( Fuck long drives are hard as hell

Half of my speakers have been blown out for a couple years at least. it's okay at moderate levels but anything with bass and it crackles bad. doesn't bother me at all because I enjoy listening to the car for the most part.

I like the Skylines. Not exactly the same thing but I'm looking to get into a four door car, either a IS300 that I will do a 2jz-gte swap with a single turbo or one of the generation before the current one STi wagons.

I am a nitrous junky though, every car I've owned has had a unit on it. Will be a huge transition going to a turbo set up but the camaro is just totally unpractical now as it gets about 9 mpg if I baby it around town and 12-14 on the freeway.

Honestly, turbo's blow away nitrous, imo. With nitrous, you always have to refill the bottle, where as the turbo is always filled, you just gotta give it some gas to "start spraying" :P

I was going to buy a bugeye WRX wagon and do an sti swap with a gt30r and shoot for 400hp, but nothing compares to rear wheel drive. I chose my gts-t over a gtr because squirming down the road in third gear with no traction makes you a badass :P

edit: If I'm hauling ass I can watch my gas needle moving downwards :P I think I get about 12mpg in the city, maybe 15 on the highway if I sit at 60mph.

I paid 600 bucks for my first nitrous kit for this car, about 200 for the one I replaced it with. Both were/are jetted for 150hp.

To do a complete turbo kit to add 150 extra HP it would cost me about 8k, plus the cost of rebuilding everything to handle the boost.

I'll stick to refilling bottles at 45 bucks a pop. even if I fill 100 bottles I'm still better off than doing a turbo kit LOL.

My car on the motor makes 414 RWHP, haven't sprayed on this set up but the stock motor made 446/509 (hp/tq) to the wheels on a 150 shot.

190+ and my car shut down - 911 GT3

hmm, good point. My engine came turbo'd from the factory and can handle about 450whp fairly reliably before pistons start shooting out of places that they shouldn't be coming from. I think if I had an engine that started out naturally aspirated, I'd go with the nitrous route. Although with that, you don't get the neat turbo sounds :(

I drove around for a week once with no bypass valve, i blocked the flange off on the intake piping, and the recirculation tube between the maf and turbo. all I could hear was "gobble gobble gobble gobble", lol. sounded like this

Let's just say a "Funny Car" 1/4 mile track and leave it at that . . .

Can't get more accurate then that. :1orglaugh

I have a picture somewhere, not sure if I can find it doing 182 mph.
This was years ago.

I think I slowed down a bit when I was looking for the camera. :Oh crap

186mph on a streetbike. i know the thread said a car.. fuck it

Dad lets me drive slow on the driveway.

They used to have those on the older cars too, I remember a friend had it on their 200 SX, the car would shut down at 117 MPH I think it was.

I didn't know they had them on the 911.

What kind of Bike? a 1000 I'm sure.

oh god, liter bikes scare the shit out of me, lol

Can't use nitrous here, it is illegal to have a nitrous system connected to your car that is capable of operating when you are driving around town. You can have one installed, but it has to be disabled until you get to the "track".

Stupid ontario laws.

damn, top speed 128 mph in a modified 72 buick skylark with a nice 350 my dad put in. i backed off when the thing started shaking violently.

some of you cats have hit some serious mph!

not to mention your "street racing" law. driving 50kmh over the limit automatically means you were street acing, even if no other car was on the road and you were just making good time on an empty freeway.

Ya, technically a cop can give you a street racing charge even if you just spin your tires. One local kid got one because he was on a 4 wheeler and did a donut in the snow on the street in front of his house.

The laws are ridiculous. The only thing that makes me happy is when I see cops getting charged with street racing. Happening more and more often all the time.

No shit? That's all very, very retarded.

I've been pulled over a few times with the bottle in the car, connected but not armed. Arming would have only taken me reaching in the back seat and opening the valve to the bottle. Cops just look at it, verify it's not a bomb, and go on about writing me a ticket for something stupid.

Yes, all this shit came about in the last few years thanks to a select few people in power.

At one point they were even talking about crushing cars if they found them modified for "street racing". i.e. anything from a supercharger right down to something as stupid as a catback exhaust. I never heard any more about it so I am thinking they finally gave up on their crusade of the week. I did see an article in the paper at one point with a stack of crushed imports though.

I was on a cruise last night with some friends (three skylines and a couple of audi's), and we all stopped on the shoulder of an empty road after driving around for a while. A cop came by, did the "bloop" with the sirens and asked us if we needed help, I guess because some of us had our hazards on.

"No sir, we're just out for a nice cruise tonight."

"at 3 am on a friday morning?"

"we all work late shift/are unemployed/are self employed"

"street racing?"

"no sir, not at all, just a nice cruise around vancouver"

"sounds fun. be safe"

This despite that we were stopped on the side of a road, under a no parking sign (we didn't see it until he rolled up), and three of our cars are loud and look like we'd be street racing, lol.

People who hate cops always have reason. A reason that I just can't comprehend. Even with my violently loud car idling there, and the fact that we're all in our early-mid 20's, he was cool andj ust told us to be safe.

The moral of the story is this: Silly laws are stupid, because they might force an otherwise cool cop to be a dick. I'm sure he figured we were out racing around, but since our laws basiically say its fine to be a car club with annoyingly loud cars so long as we're safe, he was cool.

Ontario might have been a different story, I guess. That's why western can is so much better :D

edit: Jon Oso, I wish we had your weather here in Vancouver. Bastard.

More people in this thread claim to have gone over 200 mph than there are cars that
can actually do 200 mph so either somebody is lying or you all car pool to work :winkwink:

130 km/h on a scooter :)

Um yeah, other than pretty much right now until october-ish, it's a great place to live and the weather is awesome.

But aside from that, there's a reason why a lot of the major car makers have testing grounds here. Our urban heat island is NOT the place you really want to have a car that has overheating issues. Another reason why nitrous / NA cars are better off than FI cars, we don't have to deal with all the extra heat that cramming extra PSI into your motor creates.

But you are right, the constant sunshine and lack of rain is super nice :) The dust sucks though.

:)

We had that for awhile here, we used to be able to street race all night in the middle of town until the fast and the furious movie came out. Then EVERYONE wanted to street race and it all went to shit. We went from ZERO accidents and ZERO cops hassling us to all the import guys wrecking their cars and getting us hassled.

It was good for me though because it got me out of that scene almost completely.

On the way home from the Atlanta show I was doing 130.

Youre Drunk!

It's not about how fast you've gone in a car. It's about how fast you were going when you got pulled over. So far I have three 100mph plus speeding tickets. It amazes me that I am still aloud to drive.

Probably fastest i have gone is around 150mph. My car spec sheet says it will 202mph with the limiter removed but i am way too chicken shit to attempt it.

I don't drink and drive. Or at least not that I remember.

Haha. I didn't mention what I was driving as know one would believe me anyway.

Owell. :)

185+ mph in my TVR Tuscan s (around 300kmh) - got very very 'flighty' to say the least, a one-ff haha

Haha. I didn't mention what I was driving as know one would believe me anyway.

Owell. :)

I have had been at 147.5 mph in my Benz last year on the 15 between Vegas and L.A. much to the chagrin of the girl I had with me. :(

Nah it's not about how fast you've gone. It how fast you were going when you were doing 360's down the interstate. I shouldn't be alive..
