You are clearly superior to me in every way.
A) You clearly have more to learn. Here I can tell by your answer you've only been around for a little while. An inline motor has one exhaust track to drive dual or a single turbo. A VG use's two to drive dual turbo and even in Joel's case, the right bank has to push the exhaust all the way around to the other side of the motor. When it hits the left side out going exhaust, think of the turbulence and back pressure created by that.
Everyone has more to learn, what is your point in this section? I said two smaller turbos (on a V config motor) will produce a more responsive car over one large turbo (on an inline config motor), what does any of the above have to do with that?
A1) If you got better top in from a Single as you put it, why is a Z32 the fastest production car tested with twin turbo's? The part about Toyota and smaller sequential turbo's part you'll have to clarify. Smaller than what? Do you even know why the Supra use's sequential turbo's. They are no so small when they can produce just about 500rwhp and TQ to match.
I said you get better top END (not in), and yes - its true. This is why you see many Supra's able to put down 1000+hp. BIG turbos with lots of lag = great top end (not great response).
This was all in response to your (questionable at best) claim that an inline motor is inherently more responsive that a V motor.
As far as your salt flats comment, there are two very important variables in a high speed run, power and DRAG. Z32 can excel in both where as the "dominant" supra can only exceed (relative to the Z32) in one. You fail to take into consider DRAG in your argument.
B) How long have you been on here, lol? Incase you didn't know and I'm sure you don't. I been talking with Joel for years and I get his post through AIM right has they hit here. But thanks anyway. The tire statement to me shows you either (a) missed the point, (b) clueless, which can't be it, (c) have something else in mind that will hold 800rwhp+. Because you might not know it as well, I have something in those power ranges and I do run 315's daily. I just to read about it and think I know it all. I go get it and own it and if you've been racing and driving more than 20 years like myself, then please step up kid.
Here is where your lack of intelligence and memory shines through. I've been on this forum for over 2.5 years. And over the course of the last two years I have made it a point to read every post (I may miss a few late replies but I have at least skimmed every post). For the first year or some I read FAR more that I posted (lurked). So with that said, no I am not new here. Getting a message on AIM by the poster doesn't make you elite. It may, however, hint that you might not be making an attempt to read every post on the forum and had you not been notified of the post you would have probably missed it.
Having been on the forum for a long time won't do you alot of good:
A: unless you make a point to try to keep up and read most of the posts.
-or-
B: if you are an idiotThe tire statement I made was in response to you saying Joel would need a wide body (to facilitate wider tires) to put down that power. This is false. Look at the fastest people on this forum like Zhound and Greg, do they have widebody Z's...no. Because, they know what they are doing when it comes to setting up their cars to run a 1/4 mile (including tire selection).
Tire selection - something you seem to know nothing about. You assume because you can fit wider tires on a supra that Z owners should be required to use the same width of tire if putting out high HP. You run 315mm wide tires on a stock 9.5" wide wheel.
Wow, you are an idiot - I bet your car handles great.
Here's a clue: get tires to fit your wheels. Finally, you talk about reading and doing it(the sentence doesn’t make much sense). What do you mean step up? Is that a challenge or something, WTF? You are older than me, wow! Unfortunately you were most likely just as dumb when you were 25 as you are now.
Your PS, sorry but I must have forgot, really. I have no clue who you are or what it was about.
Since your memory seems to be going in your old age here's a link.
La-Z-Link
(sorry reg is required)
My goal in this thread is try to figure out at what power level a dual 2.5" (about = to a single 3.5") exhaust becomes a bottleneck. And in that tread you
A) come off as an idiot again (while trying to be helpful though), by posting a dyno of super spilt downpipes vs. standard split down pipes (has nothing to do with what I was asking).
B) again tell me about how long you have been on tt.net and how it must make you smart(sorry, not in your case - see above).
That thread really speaks for itself.
Your PSS, I've made more half assed posts over the years on this subject than I care to repeat. It's up to you newer guys to take that torch.
Without even checking, I would agree with the above statement.
could you make that sig any bigger? :)
Yeah, I need to trim that sucker down, you are definitely right there! Sorry to come off so harsh, I just don't like it when people post questionable or straight wrong information as fact.
