Hey, #9 is still true! My 200+ answered PMs are a result of this thread, and all but 1 EvoM member has been very grateful for my help. The only person I haven't given my best effort to was a guy who just wouldn't let go of the whole "but what BOV can I get that will work AND make that lous pssshhhh noise?" I just had to draw the line there!

 

Good answer .. and doesnt the BOV that holds boost the best = faster turbo Spooling which = better performance which = more power ...

 

Bring on the Rice ... i rather hear a nice BOV over a loud *** exhaust or an External Wastegate Dumping ....

 

Why? That's retarded.

You won't hear my intake nor BOV, because they shouldn't be making noise. YOu will hear my exhaust, because that's the only thing that should emanate noise. It's about making power, man, not making noise. I'd prefer if my exhaust wasn't loud, too, but that's unavoidable with a straight 3" with no resonators or baffles.

 

Its just my preffernce Boss ... whats worse than hearing a little 1500cc SOHC Honda with a Loud exahust

Way i look at it your BOV is kinda a Signature ... yeah yeah, some want to be stealt .. your preffrence ..

 

Right, my preference is to go fast. Yours is to sound fast.

One preference is respectable - the other is called RICE.

 

Naw man, im goin just as fast and sounding good doing it

 

Not in an Evo.

Which brings me back to the point that you don't own an Evo, yet continue to spew drivel on here regardless...

 

If you sell your evo, will you stop posting on here ?

Would'nt all my post still be Dribble to you even if i had an evo

 

No, I wouldn't. You don't see me on IS300.net that's for sure.

Not sure about "Dribble," but if you had an Evo, you wouldn't have the name HKS SSQ and wouldn't be talking about how great it is all the time. You also wouldn't be making the comment that you're just as fast as I am while venting to atmosphere, which you call "sounding good" unless you had upgraded to a MAP system, which is far beyond my biggest mod - an exhaust.

 

My VR4 had the evo3 Engine which is AFM .. had no probs whatsoever with my SSQ ..

My name would still be SSQ .. dahhh ... and it is a Wonderful BOV .. dahhh, its just unfortunate you guys have probs with it .. Now whos fault is that ... certainly not HKS ...

 

wow...i cant believe that was an conversation.

warrtalon..no offense bud, i have been reading and searching evom for a while now, only been a member for a short time. i have seen u drone on and on about dragging. thats cool; u know what ur doing in the 1320', but ur still in the 12's. 2 points here; ur good, faster than me, but if im going to get advice it'll be from Dave Buschur, i actually know him and i have seen the results of his cars. 2nd point, our cars arent made and inspired by the 1320' they just happen to preform well there. im not saying ive never dragged but i dont make it my lifes mission to tell everyone else how great i am and show off what i know. i dont rally, i dont autox, i just drive and enjoy my car...

 

Not everyone has David's budget! If Warrtalon had more money I'm sure he would be way faster than 12s. It's all about how well you drive what you have! Half the people on this site couldn't cut a 12 in the Buschur Racing car!

 

yea and i take it u have read the site and talked wit Dave to know he started where we all are? Im not saying warrtalon is bad or slow or some sh*t im saying hes not the best source, he aint half bad, but look at the track time the Buschur family has compared to him. especially since that company deals almost exclusively with Evos n DSMs.

 

What you're saying really isn't relevant. David isn't here to help everyone and respond to hundreds of PMs or threads asking for help with drag racing. 99% of people don't have the mods David has either. He's not out here helping people with launching their street cars or helping people understand their timeslips or helping people figure out how to optimize their $1500 budget. I know you're not saying I'm "slow" or anything, but I am a great resource for the majority of Evo owners who just have basic bolt-ons with the stock turbo. I am .02s away from 11s without cams. My car isn't special, so whatever I accomplish can also be accomplished by ANYONE else with the same combination of parts and good driving. That's what it's all about.

I have been following Dave's lead for over 7 years, ever since I put my first mod on my first DSM. He and Sean Glazar are the undisputed Kings of the 4g63 in my opinion, and they are both people I have used as resources. Now that they are so deep into business and racing their own cars, they don't have time to help individuals all around the country and world on a personal basis. Therefore, it makes more sense for people to contact me for help on drag racing than Dave. If someone wants advice on which stroker kit will provide the most power, then they need to go to Dave.

As for the 1320 infatuation, I drag race far less than I auto-x and road race. I agree that the Evo is not a drag racing machine, but it is something that a lot of people do, and it is something that is a great measuring device for where your mods have taken you. Think about it, if you add $1000 worth of power mods, then go autocross, you have no idea if it helped or not. You have no idea if your mods did anything. You could go to a dyno, but that's the least useful information, because that says nothing about how well that power gets used. Anyway, enough rambling. If the ground clears up and there's no rain tomorrow, that will be the day I hit 11s after $925 spent on power mods ($1500 value).
