    Ya, if I went forced induction I would go with a centrifugal type charger like Rotrex from URD :D My dads track car keeps me from blowing my wad on forced air tho, once you get the bug you just want more boost!

    Turbo is what I'm going to do. Screw sc. Turbo is so much more efficient and powerful. CX racing came out with a kit. Can't wait to see it.

    But yea gage. Gears would be better.

    30psi out if what?

    Cause a small turbo ain't moving the same air as a big turbo even at the same psi. Big mis conception on boost. Everyone thinks is all psi

    I'm in a conundrum, I am sick of Tx and have a couple of family members in WY, I am an (industrial) electrician by trade but have a vast set of skills and good work ethics. I am an electrical planner here and make a nice salary, if something happens whether it be I quit, get fired or laid off I know I can have another job the next day. How would one go about getting in the same business in another state, I have all my licensing for the state of Texas and 8 years in the trade and wouldn't like to start over.

    I'll have to get the city name later, I am at work and can't bring my phone in due to privacy, confidentiality, and what not. I'll check it out and see what it says, thanks.

    No problem. I've only been in WY for a bit more than a year so you should probably be getting advice from someone other than myself :D

    So today:

    Get out of class, driving friend to walmart. Everythings good.

    Leave walmart, radio dies while driving. Battery light is on.

    Bring them to sonic, sit in truck and keep revs around 2500 for a couple minutes.

    Leave sonic, truck has a little hard time starting. Get to my apartment and then shut it off, and crank it again. Hard time again. So I let it sit for a minute or two, get back in a rev it some more, and it says the engine is colder then normal.:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused::confused:

    No, my engine is definitely not colder then normal it has been running for the last hour. WTF is going on with my truck? I opened the hood and it was definitely normal temp, if not harder. My fenders were hot to the touch, and I dont remember them getting that hot. I think its on its dying days. Knowing me, doing everything right, not forgetting oil changes, my luck probably fucked the truck some how.

    :drool:

    Fugin sssiiikkkkkk

    :wave:

    Welcome

    Honesty in wy since it's such a small area. As long as you really out yourself out there and are friendly to everyone. You'll do great. People here like working with nice people. And that cut good deals and such. But who doesn't..honestly tho it's all about people skills. The people here are the best ads they tell their friends who tell their friends ect ect.

    But should be easy for electrical. Depending on the town

    Need more info.

    Is it clicking or like it's just not cranking hard??

    Get the battery tested at a parts store.

    That's sick man. Makes me wish I could finished my supra..

    And I'd bet is a half dead battery. Bad starter relay contact points. Or possibly alternator

    Yea, the supra would have been sweet. At the level the evo is at so much stuff needs maintainence/breaks... It starts to get to be too much....until you get behind the wheel on the track! It runs lap times on par with GT3 cup cars. The road course scene is awesome but it doesn't beat crawling down a trail for me :) Reason why I have a Taco and not an Evo or something else running some good boost.
