Hmmmm.....I feel out of my element when people start talking about normal stuff.


Sounds like an interesting book......can I pick it up at Barnes & Noble?

 

he said Corkey, haha

 

dude .... what element is it that you are in/from ... its a strange one, that's for sure :0

 

Haha...laugh it up, JizzRHIT!!!

 

Yeah I got mine from Barnes and Nobles.com. Or you can wait and borrow mine.

 

Sounds good....btw, you were really enjoying yourself yesterday at Hooters! you looked right at home!

 

I wish that was my home.

 

Hey Eric, what was the Chrome Trim (that you used for your front grille) called?, I wanted to go to Home Depot and get some.

 

ah yes...corky bell.

i have read that book cover to cover twice in college, and have refered to it many times too. i used to walk around with it every day. i used the principles in that book when i built my turbo kit, and my friend and i used it when we built the twin turbo golf vr6 for our senior project. it is an excellent book!! as far as i recall, there is supercharger stuff in there? no?

when i get the welder back up and running, you all will see what i am capable of. i used to always have a project of some sort going, but i am dying now without one.

eh? chrome grill? no tengo chrome grillo?

 

chad,

how was the workout? sorry for flakin' on ya, Laziness got the best of me. It's 10 o'clock and I just woke up, I shoulda joined 24hr.

 

I never would have guessed by looking at Chad that he's this brilliant engineer. Don't get me wrong Chad....it's just that you don't wear glasses and walk around all day in a polo shirt. Ah well, teaches me for stereotyping people!

 

He's prolly talking about someone else's car....you know how all you black Z's look the same!

 

I just realized that My350z.com is proof that I'm a sad sad person that is in desperate need of a life and a girlfriend

 

i know someone that wears glasses and polo shirts...but the jury is still out on the genious thing.

Chad

 

yeah join 24hr fitness and you can go to the one in pt loma that i go to. A$$ EVERYWHERE!!!

 

Yeah this book is by far one of the best I have read yet on boost. I kind of expected to not understand half of what he was saying.
ME=ZERO COLLEGE. But its actually pretty good. He does tend to break things down pretty well. And the formulas are the best. I', really good with math especially Algebra and Calculus so when I didn't understand what he was saying I just looked at the math and it kinda gave me a better understanding. As a matter of fact I think I'm going to use his CFM formula to plot out the efficiency chart for the 60-1 Stage V turbo that comes with the Turbonetics kit.

 

MS Excel is your friend .... hand plotting that sort of stuff blows

Damn you guys, I just so happen to be wearing a polo shirt again today .... and I am no genious, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn once

 

rob,
i have done many flowrate calculations, and piping loss calculations for turbo systems in the past. i have spec'd out many turbos using the compressor maps, and can probably answer many questions if you want me to. please let me know if i can answer any questions, or help you with any calculations. i love to do that shiz. i would totally bring a calculator and some paper to the next meet if you want. i will live vicariously through your turbo experience.

get a printout of the compressor map for your turbo (exact trim and A/R) if you can. we can do some quick calculations, and see why they used the turbo that they did.

i have another turbo book that i will bring. it is nowhere as good as maximum boost, but it might be helpful in some way.

Chad

 

that's ****ing hilarious
