Glliw Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I was wondering when this would make its way onto hybridz. Its hitting every forum I've been on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rags Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I didn't go down past the first page so I don't know if anyone answered what the grooves are. They are known as Singh grooves. http://www.somender-singh.com/ . They are suppose to help detonation and from the pictures, he needs all the help he can get! Actually, this is something I intend to try myself with a spare head I have lying around. Turn up the boost so I hear slight pinging then swap on a head that is grooved and see how much more boost i can dial in without changing anything else. I just looks further down the thread. He has more issues than detonation! Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpetRhapsody Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Good lord... Check out the video: 1:37 something isn't quite right... haha Maybe it has something to do with... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zguy36 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 The guy didn't even use assembly lube on his bearings. No wonder the crank had "turning problems" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue72 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 He must have a ten run policy on any part he paints. It doesn't matter if it's blue, red, silver, gold, it must have runs or fisheyes. Almost looks like he dips every piece in a 50 gallon drum of metallic paint. Too many questions. Like who convinced them the franken-clutch thing was a great idea? Then the 16.83 1/4mile time from a 380+ hp car? I really should stop reading. It hurts too much to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 The paint he is using on his starter is called "hammerite". It uses fisheyes to create the look of hammered metal surfaces. TRUE. We used to use it to restore old packaging machinery in a past life. The grooves in the head are oil slingers. Hey if they work on the crank, why not the combustion chamber! FALSE.

zguy36 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Deeper into the thread, you see where he cut apart two clutch disks and welded the parts together to make a 'performance' disk! SCARY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpetRhapsody Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 And deeper still... where he self-lightened his flywheel with a drill press! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK-Z Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 For some who claims to be an expert, he needs to practice a couple passes with his TIG. I would understand SOME of what he was doing, if he was doing everything himself, but it looks like he has a couple workers and a shop. Scary I'm curious on how "Well" the car would run EDIT: wtf is up with the springs on the turbo housing on page 14? EDIT again : I don't understand why someone would go through all that much work. Its like doing everything twice. And why wreck a clutch to make one fubar'd one . no more response from me until I'm doing reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoNkEyT88 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 EDIT: wtf is up with the springs on the turbo housing on page 14? They attached the intake tube to the turbo with those springs.. Honestly, they have a lot of tools, but no idea wtf they're doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
