World's worst turbo setup

[Notorious]

reading the posts even more people are DEFENDING that setup. I can see if someone used it as a template for piping, but for someone to actually fully install it and drive it. Now that is beyond stupid. Not to mention everyone in his wake is probably getting cancer from the pvc fumes.

lol yea i see that...im waiting for some nissan people to defend me and craig.

 

[Notorious]

all i gotta say is don't hold your breath. I'm not sure too many of those people are gonna browse that particular forum haha.

 

[KYMP5]

they posted a link to this thread. lol. someone else just got on there and said it looks like s***.

That's great! I'm glad I don't live around there! They gave that guy a license to drive? I can't wait to see his exhaust made from s*** paper rolls!

kickass, that can match my new schedual 80 PVC exhaust...

have any of you ever played with PVC glue? I used to be a residential, and commercial electrician, and I can tell you from first hand experience that that stuff is like napalm, it NEVER stops burning once you get it started

We once set a tennis ball soaked in PVC glue and Carb cleaner on fire. Good times.

 

[RyanJayG]

yeah, we run around our shop with lighters and starting fluid (we buy it by the case to clean parts with)

I work with a bunch of pyros, we just cant help ourselves

 

[Matthew]

jesus you aint installing s*** at my house when you come down. as a matter of fact instead of sleeping in my computer room this time, youre sleeping in your car. but park it across the parking lot not near mine incase you catch THAT on fire too.

 

[Matthew]

im lucky my neons havent caught on fire...that wouldve just tickled you pink!

 

[RyanJayG]

haha, thats good...

oh grow up guys...really i think it was childish to get on there and rag the guy cus he wanted to have fun with his car......its good to see that ppl enjoy ther cars for what they want it to be and not others......either way i think its ****** tite.....i would laugh my head off if i raced someone with that and actually one...hell if it does hold the 7 psi he is sayin it should be in the 185-190whp range as thats what my old 240sx put out before i went sr......thats boostisgood...for at least showin some maturity

 

[boostisgood]

thats boostisgood...for at least showin some maturity

Uhhh? Ok, I guess thats good. I thought about it for a bit, and well, if the guy needs help, its better to give it, then just rag on him.

Not to be overly negative (once again) but are you saying that Jerry rigging Stuff just because you don't have the money should be an excepted practice?


And BTW that BS about those being a template for mandrel bent steel pipes is just FUNNY. How many setups have you seen with 90 degree turns? That PVC is USELESS as a template WTF?

 

[AutoBox]

thats= thanks .....got a bad head cold or some s***..anyway thats exactly my point.....s*** i riged my 240 when i first got it..i was 16, broke and wanted to have fun.......

 

[AutoBox]

hell its his car...if he wanted to have fun with it i dotn give a rats ass if he taked a water bottle, points it at the air filter and says he has water injection...its his car!!! and pvc is used by many to setup turbo systems....do u think he is tryin to built an effective high boost setup?? 90 degree bends are sold everywhere and easy to work with....simple turbo setup

 

[chino]

full 90 degree turns all around and all straight piping? ok maybe Im wrong(It's been known to happen) but that setup as it is doesn't look like it would fit if he had the bumper back on.

 

[pluto316]

More like world's best turbo setup. That s*** is awesome!!

 

[AutoBox]

from experience the 240sx has plenty of room around the inside of the bumper....i was sad when i saw how much crap mazdas has behind ours.......how u think 240sx guys fit skyline sized ic's in there...it will fit and it would be a funny ass cool setup....we can bicker about it...my point is dont bash him for havin fun with his car

Ok, let me first start by saying that you would probably never find PVC piping under the hood of any of my vehicles. In theory, there shouldn't be any short term problems using PVC to construct a general layout and perform a few tests for IC piping.

Here are a few characteristics of PVC. PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is an excellent plastic. A 2 1/2" Schedule 40 PVC pipe can withstand 300PSI of pressure. 4" piping can withstand 220PSI. If you get schedule 80 or 120 piping, the PSI is even higher. Since a PVC pipe can withstand 140 degree fluid, it will handle heat quite well. It's not like there is coolant running through it.

Since PVC is a thermosetting plastic rather than a thermoplastic, it will burn, not melt. Temperatures need to be around 725 degress F. Now how many engine bays can you think of that get that hot????

Here is a site with some good PVC info:
