Water to air intercooler or water/meth injection ? This is rear mount and the turbo is pretty small so a front mount air:air intercooler is not ideal

Somewhat Heroic posted:Basements rule. I feel bad for places and states that don't have them. Our basement is comically huge, same square footage as upstairs. At this point I would definitely go back and buy a smaller house by ~700 sqft or more. There are three full bedrooms with walk in closets, dry storage, cold storage, a wet bar/kitchenette space, full bath. The rec room space is like 24 feet long. I could probably get a pool table in there too with plenty of space. Maybe something for the future I have the same setup. In Canada we call it a bungalow. Basically a slightly elevated rancher with a matching basement. The kitchen upstairs is a theater/media room downstairs, the upstairs living room is a bar and games room downstairs (thinking billiards or maybe poker table, bar is already set up) Master bedroom up is workout room down, upstairs office is laundry down, and then guest upstairs is a empty room downstairs. Unfortunately I had 2 floods and an insurance claim and even afterward I has some small moisture issues during spring breakup. Wood foundation allows water to seep when it's pooled up against the outside (it runs down the foundation and then seeps in over the concrete pad.) So last summer I had contractors come in, install window wells, perforated pipes down to the weeping tile, and built up clay soil against the foundation about 10" to allow a slop away from the house. No moisture issues this year despite probaby 4' of snow pack near the house.

. Right now two of the bedrooms are set up as guest rooms and the other is my wife's relaxation space with a sauna.

half of my city (Grande Prairie) is built on annexed farm fields and swamp. The basements all have sump systems that pump out water 24/7 onto the street. Like entire neighborhoods where you can't drive a freshly washed car for fear of driving across water streams on the road. Luckily my place was built in '86 so the good land wasn't used up yet. If there was an extended power outage, some of these places would be hosed.

Darchangel posted:In Texas, at least North Texas and South Texas, where I have lived, basements on residences are pretty much non-existent. Large buildings have them, but not houses. Only the (very) occasional root/storm cellar, and that's usually only *mostly* underground - usually it's an artificial hillock. Oh yeah, different spelling. Grande Prairie.

Interesting purchase. The big tires suck for towing. I'd consider getting some f350 factory takeoffs for when you're towing. You'll get better mileage but more importantly, way better towing manners. And craigslist oem takeoffs with 0 miles are usually pretty cheap. The more sturdy tire pumped up to 70 or 80psi will do wonders in rutted up roads and especially crosswinds at hwy speed. On a longer trip, the mental fatigue gets really bothersome when you're always concentrating on the tail wagging the dog.

is this http://www.frozenboost.com/ place decent to order intercooler and piping from ? Their mandrel bent stuff seems too cheap. Like $10 for 2.25" 90* bends.

Sgt Fox posted:It looks like they are affiliated with https://www.siliconeintakes.com/. Both myself and a friend have ordered from them with zero issues, their stuff was good. I used their 3" 90 and a straight section to weld up an intake for the 323. Thick, well formed, no complaints. thanks man, they're like 15% of the price of local bends.

I blacklisted my only remaining customer today. No work in the foreseeable future so I guess it's time to get on those trudeau bucks. At least now I'll have time to finish the theater room renovation and start on my turbo SxS project.

Tell me your thoughts on supercharged s550 coyote mustangs. They seem to make around 700rwhp which is a nice healthy highway pull car.

Hauled this from Vancouver to Grande Prairie. God drat are the scale mermaids a bunch of arrogant cocksuckers. Wasted 3 hours of time as they claimed it was an overweight commercial load even though it was well underweight and a private move for personal use. Sucks when you have to teach these losers what their own laws are. It's a Komatsu 75 so it only weights around 17,000lbs. Averaged around 8mpg for the trip back through the Rockies.  Edit: for those wondering, it was $8k cdn for the komat 75 (with a hydraulic leak), a Moffat tailgate forklift and a 10k lb gravel dump trailer. Well worth the 2200km drive and 2 pickups to haul it all. We were considering renting a step deck 53' trailer and hauling it all with the 389 Pete or my Volvo but insurance is LOL expensive and the roads into the pickup location are really tight and twisty. We needed to block the oncoming lane with that 30' goose. A bigger trailer might've been impossible. jonathan fucked around with this message at 21:00 on May 28, 2020 |

AvE is pretty cool. I like him. He's well traveled and intelligent. You want to see a poo poo show, check out Zip ties and Bias plies.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:I dont give one iota of a drat how far he has travelled or how intelligent he appears to be. Start ranting about some of the libertarian stupidity like he does then he can gently caress off. Luckily we live in an era where it's easy to filter out media personalities you don't like. Just block and move on. The issue isn't so much who is is or what he says, it's that he's public about it and that gets people angry. "I can't believe he's saying these things!" The way I look at it is, even the most virtuous of us still have depraved gross porn in our search history.

Krakkles posted:The issue is 100%, unequivocally, what he says (and the thoughts behind it). Meh. He lives in an area with zero cases (tested cases) I'm not sure what all the libertarian and racist views are. He calls cheap chinese junk "Chinesium". I guess that's racist? He's using the language of the common working class Canadian. Anyways I don't care to argue too much about a YouTube personality I've never met, but as a hard working socially progressive person, I think he's fine. I also tend to form my opinions on people based on their entire spectrum of actions. I'd say he's a net positive.

Setting up dual spring long travel coilovers is the worst. Turned a 1 hour job into 6 by trying to adjust spring preload rings while in the car. That's what I get for taking shortcuts. Normally I pull the entire unit, disassemble the springs with that compressor in the background. Move the preload rings and crossover/dual rate stop, then reassemble and put the shock back in then measure ride height. I was trying to get it to sit a little lower for the next "race" event which will be smoother and a lot of tight turns. It was a little loose and wobbly which was great for high speed rough stuff but too unstable when drifting gravel roads. So now it's sitting with around 14" clearance underneath instead of 16.

All good. You're free to form opinions based on whatever criteria you're comfortable with.

I don't know what's going on with your murder country, but discussion about it seems pretty dross so instead I'm gonna post this Miami Vice Ferrari Lambo video. It's pretty rad and makes me want to time travel. https://youtu.be/v61tFqtzxlk

Ok its loving insane how much used slide in truck box campers hold their value. I've been looking at a few since I just got rid of my 2013 travel trailer. Anything "nice" (ie A/C and a shower) are like $25000 for something made in 2007. I think I might just go get a larger travel trailer. Funny enough the dealership I was going to wander around today is on fire. Apparently the propane tanks behind the shop are currently exploding.
