i gota paper saying i can sell my old injectors to them for 25 dollars an injector which is good cause i was just going to throw them away. they got a little beat up when i pulled them out of the fuel rail lol.

[Slideways^Jordan]

[s13girl]

[idahotuner]

...i want to drive it!!!

[codyace]

ok guy here are some pics of what i did sundayreplacing the front bushings

I just love the smell of burning rubber in the morning

i gota paper saying i can sell my old injectors to them for 25 dollars an injector which is good cause i was just going to throw them away. they got a little beat up when i pulled them out of the fuel rail lol.

That's a great price. I know what you mean about getting spiffy with the pliers and the stock rail hehe. That's partly the reason I just go top mount injector with some cars haha.

um no i dont recall saying that. i quoted him because it is indeed true, that he DOES now how to wire correctly and is damn good at it.

Than only quote that part. You claimed QFT for all of it, and I was pretty sure you've never played with both setups.

ive tried at every chance to be civil with you, but you act like an arrogant *** over and over. you act like what you say is the word of god, when there are different possibilities to consider, and if someone doesnt agree with you, you either insult them or claim that nothing they say can have any truth and basically try to belittle them.

Wait, so you want me to be nicey pants to everyone, and become a post whore like you? Sorry, nope. I'm all about content versus noise.

I'm not saying Im' god, I'm just coming onto the forum with 'actual' experience playing with many of these cars both on street and on the track (track, not dragstrip), and have learned by now, both through my car and others, what works, what doesn't, what works better, and what is garbage. But hey, it's not my money. To quote Mike Kojima and his views on making wise part purchases'go fast or suck'. I prefer the going fast part.

The guy claimed that the Altima fans weren't worth anything, when in fact they are the best option, and the cheapest. I said exactly that. There is an entire write up on one of the 240 forums by user Rittmiester (kent Stine) about the fans, and he actually went through the hassell of tasting them all, with shrouds, without shrouds, with and without cooling plates, etc etc and conclude the altima fans + shrouding is the best bet. For 100-120 bucks you can have all of it, and kick butt, and save money over an expensive FAL or SPAL fan.

So man, yea, I guess I'm the jerk for suggesting a better, cheaper method. Sorry, I'll just suggest big boy JDM parts for now on, just because.

grow the **** up and learn how to interact with others

I've got plenty of life experience under my belt. You yelled at me before for 'assuming' and here you are doing the exact same thing I do. Hyprocritcal much?

[redtop91]

You two get a room.

[codyace]

so does every one else that knows i am building it. but i am going to be very picky about who i let drive it.

Be picky about who drives it

and

Be picky about who knows where you live. Friends or not, they talk. The last t hing you want is a stolen car.

[mrgreeneyes]

I'll try another angle:

You realize that the Taurus Fans (although at high amperage) Flow the most Air, and that Altima fans (at a realistic amperage) Flow the second best?

The best combination is still having all of your lowre plastics on the car, using a full shrouded fan (like an altima yay) and adding an upper cooling plate. You could have it all for less than the cost of a Fal or Spal (wrr wrrr wrr wrrr) and cool more efficiently.

I mean, you're awful smart with your testing and all, why did you not setup a test like the many that others have had?

ha, i am good with electronics, not fluid dynamics. my certification proves that i know how to wire a damned relay, not flowtest fans.

fully shrouded fan is ftw, i agree man. dont come off attacking me with petty crap. i understand you know your stuff, but i know my fair share too. and i also have never had an overheating issue, nor did i have to pay for good fans, im good at bartering. it doesnt honestly matter if you track your car or not to me... you could overheat on the freeway, your driveway, or a local auto-x... who cares what you were doing at the time, its the condition, not the environment.

i dont wanna argue with you man... but step down off your high horse for once and realize that someone JUST may be competent at something... not everyone is a track star...

Idaho, sorry about that... it just irks me when people make unfounded remarks, esp about me and what i do for a profession.

and idaho, $50 + shipping for ya... brand new 11" permacool. got it off a friend in trade for some parts worth that much. let me know if you want it!

is this the s13 girl that is talked about on like every gen chat thread lol. i never had any clue wtf people were talkin about i figured i guy made it to screw with people.

[idahotuner]

Be picky about who drives it

i owuldl ie kto see some one try to steal my car from m y house and get away with it. any one pulles up i nthe middle of the night or day we can here them coming an mile away. and i nthe middle of the night the road to our house would make there head lights go right in my bedroom, then they have to get in the shop get my dads' mr2 outta the way and then get my car out with out me knowing. haha.

i would actually chalenge some one to try it........ they just need to be prepared to meet there maker!

[White Comet]

i would actually chalenge some one to try it........ they just need to be prepared to meet there maker!

i wouldnt make that a challenge, im not saying it wouldnt be hard, but it isnt impossible to drive quietly (read: stock exhaust equipped vehicle) with the headlights off, and push an mr2 out of the way without being heard

Than only quote that part. You claimed QFT for all of it, and I was pretty sure you've never played with both setups.

thats ur biggest problem though, you ASSUME that you know whats best ALL the time and that ur the only one that tracks their car or actually does work to it.

Wait, so you want me to be nicey pants to everyone, and become a post whore like you? Sorry, nope. I'm all about content versus noise.

i dont know wtf "nicey pants" is but i dont see anything wrong with being civil to others and not bashing every idea you dont agree with. debate is one thing but completely claiming that someone else's idea isnt even an option is another thing. and when an individual explains in a polite manner their qualifications, talking how many hotdogs you can eat is rude and just being an ***. you also cant assume that many posts cant contain good content while your few are worth gold

I'm not saying Im' god, I'm just coming onto the forum with 'actual' experience playing with many of these cars both on street and on the track (track, not dragstrip), and have learned by now, both through my car and others, what works, what doesn't, what works better, and what is garbage. But hey, it's not my money. To quote Mike Kojima and his views on making wise part purchases'go fast or suck'. I prefer the going fast part.

the thing is, you arent the only one with "actual" experience but you act like you are. you're not the only one to track your car, you're not the only one to research things, you're not the only one to know what you're talking about. theres never one way to do something, or even one intelligent or correct way to do something. sure altima fans can work and thats fine, but flexalite, permacool, etc work as well. i honestly dont know how much altima fans flow but the `4" permacool that flows 2950cfm along with my s14 koyo rad will be plenty of cooling thank you, and it's cheaper then the altima fan setup.

The guy claimed that the Altima fans weren't worth anything, when in fact they are the best option, and the cheapest. I said exactly that. There is an entire write up on one of the 240 forums by user Rittmiester (kent Stine) about the fans, and he actually went through the hassell of tasting them all, with shrouds, without shrouds, with and without cooling plates, etc etc and conclude the altima fans + shrouding is the best bet. For 100-120 bucks you can have all of it, and kick butt, and save money over an expensive FAL or SPAL fan.

reading comprehension ftw! look back to greeneyes's post, he claimed that he isnt a fan of the altima fan setup and that a permacool fan is an alternative. you proceded to claim that the problem must be that he cant hook it up correctly. he explained that electrical and wiring is what he does for a living. you continued to insult his intellegence as well as others. you follow what im saying? its all in the way u present yourself and your opinions, coming in here thinking that your way is the only way and everybody else cant wire up altima fans is very ignorant. we're all on here to learn, coming on here thinking you have nothing left to learn and that you have the answer to everything is the worst attitude you can have.

So man, yea, I guess I'm the jerk for suggesting a better, cheaper method. Sorry, I'll just suggest big boy JDM parts for now on, just because.

theres nothing wrong with suggesting a "better, cheaper" method, as i stated its all in how you present your "suggestions". last time i checked permacool isnt jdm at all, so u fail there, and if ur trying to imply that i choose parts without careful consideration your wrong there as well. i hope being an *** online fills whatever part of your life is empty. no one on here is suggesting something "just because", the permacool fan was recommended as an alternative to the altima fans since its cheaper. that blows most of your argument out of the water since your claiming the altima fans are cheaper

I've got plenty of life experience under my belt. You yelled at me before for 'assuming' and here you are doing the exact same thing I do. Hyprocritcal much?

i havent yelled at anyone, and life experience has nothing to do with maturity, i dont care if u've seen teh world and know all the secrets of life, if ur acting like an *** its as easy as that and you need to grow up. i dont feel im hypocritical at all, if i feel ive wronged someone i apologize, EVERY TIME. i also try not to be condescending and close minded. along with respecting people, Ben, im sorry for doing this in your thread once again, i'll respect you build by no longer arguing in here, codyace, i hope u show him the same respect, if u have anything further to say you can reach me through email

[s13girl]

i dont know that im talk about in other threads...but i am def. a chick...

[homeslicej2]

Haven't stopped buy in awhile, but for the action.

[brizanden]

wow idaho ur thread is fun to come to now lol

[codyace]

i would actually chalenge some one to try it........ they just need to be prepared to meet there maker!

Not debating the security of your home, just saying be careful. I too have my car stored away similar to yours...it'sjust that I know some very secure locations and cars that have been stolen, and hate to see it happen. I'm not sure how it is in Idaho, but where I'm from, there are tons of 'out of town rats' that have a passion for theft.

I take a different way home everytime, don't ever pop my hood in public, and all of that sort of stuff. Sure, it may be simply paranoia, but I'd rather just take that precaution.

On that note, it also wouldn't be a bad time to isntall some sort of fuel cut or ignition cut or something along those lines as well. I've often debated finding a cheap GPS beacon to hide in my car when I park it places....

thats ur biggest problem though, you ASSUME that you know whats best ALL the time and that ur the only one that tracks their car or actually does work to it.

I don't assume anything, as I've got experience with most of what I say. When I don't, I say IIRC or 'from what i've heard'

My opinions come strictly from what I know has worked and what works better, and what doesn't work at all. Trust me, I can cobble things together with the best of them, and I can build performers at the same time.

talking how many hotdogs you can eat is rude and just being an ***.

It was a joke, and I'm sure most people got it.

you also cant assume that many posts cant contain good content while your few are worth gold

I'd like to know of yuor 10,000 posts how many are actual advice, and how many are just posting to post.

the thing is, you arent the only one with "actual" experience but you act like you are. you're not the only one to track your car, you're not the only one to research things, you're not the only one to know what you're talking about. theres never one way to do something, or even one intelligent or correct way to do something.

I Know I know I know what you're coming from. The issue is with this forum and others, is that many people give advice, without having any hands on experience, and only from what they've read.

sure altima fans can work and thats fine, but flexalite, permacool, etc work as well. i honestly dont know how much altima fans flow but the `4" permacool that flows 2950cfm along with my s14 koyo rad will be plenty of cooling thank you, and it's cheaper then the altima fan setup.

Cheaper? You can get Altima fans for 25 bucks in a junkyard. I said 125 for fans, plastics, cooling plate.... Most 14" Permacools are in the 90-100 range alone.

reading comprehension ftw! look back to greeneyes's post, he claimed that he isnt a fan of the altima fan setup and that a permacool fan is an alternative.

Reading comprehension? Perhaps you shoudl re read everyword, and not skim over words, and not forumlate what yuo think from those skimmed words.

coming on here thinking you have nothing left to learn and that you have the answer to everything is the worst attitude you can have.

I never claimed to know everything, but for 90% of street derieved setups, I'm fairly confident in knowing what Im' doing.

last time i checked permacool isnt jdm at all, so u fail there,

Fail? It was a joke. PS: Fail is like, 5 years old.

the permacool fan was recommended as an alternative to the altima fans since its cheaper. that blows most of your argument out of the water since your claiming the altima fans are cheaper

They are. You just didn't read everything.

If u have anything further to say you can reach me through email

I don't have email

[idahotuner]

Haven't stopped buy in awhile, but for the action.

[Didderson]

Idaho, the update looks good dude. You've had me scared thinkin school took up so much time you wouldn't be able to get things done! Where did you get the bushings for those front rods? My stock ones are totally shot!

[redtop91]

This is a build thread people. Keep personal attacks or problems off board on AIM. Seriously, it's not funny anymore...

[idahotuner]

Idaho, the update looks good dude. You've had me scared thinkin school took up so much time you wouldn't be able to get things done! Where did you get the bushings for those front rods? My stock ones are totally shot!

i got the energy suspension bushings kit. i bought it off ebay. for 145 dollars. but from their web site i think you can buy just the front bushings.

This is a build thread people. Keep personal attacks or problems off board on AIM. Seriously, it's not funny anymore...

i agree. i dont mind people commenting on my build. but the arguing is making me sick.

[idahotuner]

oh and an other update. i changed the o ring on my HKS bov last night. it was a PITA. but i got it off. i thought that it didnt have one at all. but then when i pulled it apart i saw that it was squished. so i put the new on in and it is sealed and works great.

[codyace]

yea stuff is coming together fast. my ECU came in the mail today. and everything else should be here tomorrow that i need.yea

Good to hear that is all coming in. What injector did you end up going with, 740's right?

i know it was kinda stagnant there for a while but just yesterday it jumped like 2 pages haha.

from cody and WC arguing

[codyace]

If you're a mod, then go back and clean up THE ENTIRE thread, as that would be the best solution.

[idahotuner]

hey hey, don't forget you and the girly flirting online
