Jrod Vs Arod @ LVD

Umm I thought I recall him saying he was running an Ebay turbo? I dont care im not knocking him for it, ive seen a few hondas and DSM build thread with ebay turbos that make serious numbers… If you read a few of my posts about the subject you’d notice I “defended” them as they are no longer held together by glue and when balanced properly can last quite some time

And Arod again im not bashign you I was just wondering as to why you had the chute…

Your car is pretty impressive none the less, cant wait to see it hit the 9’s

Whats a blow off valve have to do with anything? I’m not running high boost so backpressure is minimal, so its not a big deal. Granted its better to have it, but untill I get my IC setup I don’t feel like having to buy a flange and have someone weld onto the stock pipeing

:rofl @ not understanding why a 140+mph car needs a chute.

OT, the cars I reallllyyy want to see go at it is Arod’s hatch on race gas, Dan’s 4088r integra on race gas, whalen’s 4088r on race gas, and brooks’ car on race gas…:ohnoes:ahh

  1. u need a chute for 135+
  2. he has fucking DRUM brakes on the back of that car with stock front…better safe then sorry right? if anyone disagrees please let me know

oh my bad…but still, better safe then sorry…it doesnt cost anything to pull the chute so why not lol

oh no doubt. 140mph is MOVING. id yank the chute at 140 just to do it :excited

Id yank it at 60 on the highway like a retard :lol

:rofl

Man, I’d love to see that.

Ha ha as would I

talking about doing 9’s and actually doing it are two complete things if it was that easy for you guys, it would have been done already.

good work

LOL. thats hilarious. Same here Id love to see that, too!

wouldnt that require a runnin car?:ahh

I could tow him to 60 lollll

with what ?that exhaust that ya pulled apart by 4 wheeler and a tree:lol

you are dumb man. 10.3 @ 140 is a major accomplishment. and its early in the season. and if youve noticed, both cars are running pretty well, alberto will hit 9’s and Juan will hit a 10 on the setup hes got now.

+1 both cars are solid. If I remember right, Alberto and Juan said there’s a total of $5k into the teal hatch and it’s knocking on 10’s door trapping 126-127mph…That’s reallll good if you ask me.

Gotta keep those fuckin axles in the teal car!! :ahh
