Who says its a worthless car? You? Guess what, bud, its not your damn car. Dont say other peoples cars are "worthless." Its rude and unnecessary. I have a high mileage 94, Im still modifying it. So what? I dont have the money to buy a new car, I work with what I have, and Im damn proud of it. Not all of us have the money to start with a great platform, it definitely doesnt mean that our cars are "worthless."
As usual Pose my Man, your words are tactful and wise! THANKS

I do what I can. Its just a really big pet peeve of mine when people talk down on other peoples cars, because I dont know about everyone else, but my car means a lot to me. Its definitely not the nicest car out there, or the fastest, but its MINE.

I just think its senseless to put money into a car that will pretty much need new everything and then some for boost...rather pointless havin a car that isnt designed for turbos with only 6 pounds of boost ..as opposed to 20 on a stock turbo engine ...I was pondering putting a turbo in my 1990 accord but you know how much that would cost just to get it installed and tuned at a dyno!? .so why not buy a car thats ready for boost instead of spending a POOP load money getting new pistons cams etc etc etc etc
A stock Accord engine can handle 8 psi. Thats enough for close to 225 hp, with some other simple mods and good tuning. No engine building required for that. Pretty much any engine out there is going to need internal work before it can handle 20 psi.
And you most certainly are entitled to your opinion, however, its just plain rude to say someones car is worthless.

The people who run the site decided that they dont want swearing on here. Its not that difficult. I curse a lot when I talk, and I can manage to find alternate words when Im posting here, Im sure you can do it too.

8 psi lol youd have to get a new wastegate spring cause they usually start at 10 and up...and my friend had a stock 4g63 talon motor and ran 20 psi non intercooled ..had a aftermarket rad though but thats it! drove the shit out of it and it was fine ...but hey "you're all entitled to your own opinions and beliefs."
Im going to go ahead and disbelieve that. I know those motors are tough, but I doubt that it could take 20psi for an extended period of time when you drive it hard. Not saying its impossible, just unlikely.
And if you want to see an example of a stock F22 turbo, look at mbo1985's car. He has had it set from six to eight psi, and it puts down at least 210 at the wheels.

Not to get to involved in this conversation that has gone extremely off topic but I have heard of talon motors running obsurdly high boost.... it's true they usually won't make it past about 75k miles with it but they do run like mad for a while.... 20psi does sound a bit high but I don't doubt that it's been done....
As for the TV and swearing bit that's fine, Russia has "strip weather" where the weather lady strips as she gives you the report, good for them but as for the way we operate in the forum profanity isn't allowed because it doesn't add anything to the converastion or topic, I have had to catch myself on more than one occasion where I typed something profain then caught it and deleted it before it posted but the point is that's the way we work, we appreciate all forum users but if they can't follow a simple rule then they are welcome to leave. Plenty of other forums will allow it, we do not.
