Went junkharding today with Chappy and Scott (maxpsi)

[Jess]

I got:
Volvo intercooler
Impulse intercooler
Thunderbird intercooler
slim-fan
and a ton of IC piping $65

Chappy got:
Volvo manifold & turbo
Starion IC
oil cooler
bosche bov $60 somthing

I dont know what scott got. i was kinda brain dead and sunstroked by the time we got to the checkout. I got sunburn and farmers tan like a mofo :oops:

[KrautFed]

Chappy, go ahead and chunk that Bosch BOV. They work for about 3 months @ 10psi. Plus, brand new they are $45...and most people would GIVE you their's. We building a stock pile of them.

[maxpsi]

I made a post in Cars-ce, Jess, in case ya want to do a follow-up on what I posted.

I left with:

A Starion.................................................................................steering wheel center piece and some kind of hairdryer/fan off a Datson 280. Shutup, I was sunstroked before Chappy or Jess got there. :cry:

I have a nasty sunburn. It was fun though. :oops:

BTW, while we are on the subject of factory I/Cs, I have NO IDEA how those engines survive with those small, poorly built I/Cs (with exeption to the volvo I/C which is HUGE). :shock:

[Frosty_DUB]

sounded fun! I wanna go next time!


are you gonna sell the turbos on ebay for 200 each?!?!?!?!?


how big is the junkyard anyway?

[maxpsi]

You are always welcome to the turbos that were left there. Jess and Chappy know about those hard to reach, seized up, POS turbos we decided not to mess with.

[maxpsi]

Here is an idea of exactly what we ran across. Remember the amount Jess and Chappy paid for everything:

I've been running a Bosch 710N valve on my Stage III car for 40K miles, works great. From an engineering standpoint they are superior to standard piston valves in many applications. They have a larger cross-sectional area than nearly any piston valve in the market and are far less likely to hang open or closed. All this hype over divertor/blow off valves is a way for Volkswagen guys to spend money on shiny piece of metal to go under the hood. Guys at the vortex are sheep.

But I like the sound. :| :lol:

I went through 2 710N's in 20K. I got a good deal on a Forge 007P, so I took it.

You silly VW guys. Chappy's got a stock motor. He'll be running 4-6psi.

Yeah, it was fun but i feel like shit today. I almost fell asleep in Outback last night and the back of my neck hurts like a mofo.

[1BoMeXLeX]

JESS, all you do is complain

[maxpsi]

You silly VW guys.
:lol:


The sunburn on my neck is giving me problems. The gash on my thumb from pulling out the Isuzu I/C isn't very comfortable.

What I/C does Chappy plan to run (knowing he will never see this thread)?

So, so true. I miss the o l d vortex when there were only 4k people when I joined. The 1.8T forum was a good place to discuss lots of technical aspects of the engine. Then the 1.8t hit the golf/jetta scene and has been the bov/nos/aftermarket dv/I can make my own turbo kit (oh wait, I guess i can't)/ECS "Race" valve crew. I need to go over there and start tauting some lunar realestate as dust from it allows you to run 25 psi on a k03 all the way to redline, because as you on vortex, its PSI that makes all the difference :roll:

Heh, tell me I can't. :twisted: Allow myself to prove you wrong. :?

I had to read that post like 18 times before i even began to comprehend what you were saying.
