Turbo vs. Blower

[surewhynot]

And they were some of the noisiest, most cantankerous to strart in the morning, smokinest motors on the face of the earth... but you couldn't kill 'em!

That could also describe my ex.

She could say the same about you!


Seriously, though; Goose was right. You had to "drive 'em like you were mad at them" and keep the RPMS up or you were dead in the water. Keep em warmed up and they'd go a million miles without a lick of trouble.

No matter how desperately you wanted to..........Two people could kill one, but it would never happen because nobody would hear your screams for help over those damn screaming Jimmies..............First drilling rig I ever worked on was powered by nothing OTHER than blown Jimmies.............Twin bank of straight eights running the draw works, twins running the pumps, and two little blown 4 bangers running the light plants. It's a miracle I had enough hearing left to join the Marines...........and end up in the Artillery........

Ah, once I wind'em up, why would I let'em back down? That sounds easy enough.

My future goal is a big ass single turbo. They just tickle my fancy. Not to mention turn the boost down/up at will.. good for saving gas mileage.

At first I thought he lowered the front end, but then I realized it's just compressed from the weight of that monster engine. Hmmmmmmmm.
