Vlad's rides thread

Sorry Vlad, you are wrong there, turbo is easy high power...

And anyway, early Buick where turbo from factory, Google Buick road runner...

[vlad01]

Im aware of that. But I just dont like they way turbo engine feel. They feel fat and soggy when you want instantaneous response which is what I need for 99% of my driving.

Thats not true about a modern, well matched turbo, ever driven a diesel golf?

That's a dirty word!

Yeah sure, but nobody can deny their broad power band

They hammer

I sure a lot of other manufacturers would have pretty good power bands from their cars if they didn't have to worry about emissions as well

a passat, yes I have. probably the best turbo car I've driven in terms of response but still noticeable lag.


Anywho. I dissasembled my 66mm TB from the vacationer. I found the shaft is like a snake lol. bent to the shithouse.

odd? accident maybe? engine recoiled back into the firewall I guess?

cleaned it up an have a new shaft for it. Bearing look a bit sad, the seals are split. I wonder if I can get new bearings from CBC? These ones feel a bit crusty even though I cleaned them out several times.

How do I remove them?

noisy blow of valves = ricer, not turbo

Hey Vlad,

Don't lower your CR and run turbo with E85.

No loss in response, but Yeehaa up top.

Best of both worlds.

Plan for the other VP was NA with 14+ or so CR on e85.
