Bahahahahahaha!

Also, some one mentioned a guy flushed his engine with water, any one got a link, i gotta see that thread lol. How some people that stupid manage to survive till adult hood is beyond me.

oh there have been plenty of other great cockups. there was the guy who "ported and polished" his head by hooking the intake up to a bag of sand and then started the car. then there was the guy that came up with DEI, direct exhaust injection where the headers just fed back into the intake so it would be pressurised, just ignoring the fact that you need oxygen to make the fuel burn, and the oxygen gets burnt up with the fuel. i'm sure there have been others as well that i can't think of right now.

Lol thats ridiculous. Here is the link to the guy who decided to use water to flush the bad oil out of his Mustang. lol.

here is another good one, but goes to 65 pages though

Titled Spanish tuner

some mods in the thread

those are "sin grooves" "that will make the mixture travel faster to the centre of the chamber, thus improving efficiency"

theres heaps more, just check out the pics if you don;t have time to read

Ahh this one.. this guy aparently "tuned" a 4g63 motor.. I think when he started it, it was pissing fuel out from somewhere.. lol.(wouldnt even IDLE.. LOL)

btw love the new clutch held together by spot welds.. Should be good for 10Nm Torque. lol

lol there's an almost identical thread to this which has been sent to the wasteland, pretty sure the 'bag of sand in the intake' one was someone taking the piss, well thats what the original thread seems to say anyway.

BTW marc, the old GQ here has Exhaust Gas Recirculation from the headers back into the intake apparently for fuel economy or some other BS

i read all 65 pages of that spanish tuner thread, the last like 30 pages are just car club memebrs from arond the world checking in to say the thread reached their forums. The thread got 2 million views though.

But the 4g63 eclipse he "tuned" including XS power turbo that he lunched the blades on, one piece solid intercooler piping with no flex joints, one pice exhaust, welded clutch, leaking fuel system include fuel pickup 'bored out' with a hacksaw...wait for it... made 360 or so hp...on TWO BAR of boost. Needless to say it lunched more bits on second dyno run and by that stage the guy realised the world was watchin his idiocy an stopped posting updates. Well worth a read for a solid laugh! Oh, and he has the MOST pro respraying skills ever, you gotta check it out, waht with SAU Show n Shine comin up we could learn a thing or two...

    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
    • Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.
    • I agree once misfires happen it's basically worthless, but the hope is you can see what's happening in the run up to that. 
    • You should totally get a Brumby, and then come pick up the Subaru Liberty GTB I have here. EJ25 Turbo, 6 speed manual from the sti (just no dccd), and the good rear diff. Drop all that into a Brumby and go have fun!
