Didn't we have one at one time?

Really digging into possibly turboing this R3 block somewhere down the road, all the AWESOME tech I'm getting is either underground (Private Messaging) or (unfortunately) off other sites.

If we had one and no longer do....maybe we should resurrect it now, especially with all the Street Outlaws/ Lights Out interest within the community. I love 'All Motor' tech as much as anyone...but maybe there's enough interest in the Power adders to bring it all back to Moparts?

bump I know some are put off by too many forums, I guess it lowers the traffic count and doesn't look as good to those who care, like Daytona removing seats. I personally don't care. But Maybe in my naivety, seems like turbo and superchargers are really two different breeds, although both power adders, and should each have a separate forum, to keep things straight and efficient. twocents


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

I'm slowly working on a gen 3 turbo motor.
Although cool to have a forum, not a whole lot happens in the Gen 3 area except for the few same posters. I would imagine the power adder section would be the same.

I say share it all here. When the gen 3 stuff was still here it was gaining interest in that market and catching more eyes.
I am happy to read about it all here in the racing section

There is little tech traffic on the site period............a power adder forum would be dead

Yeah I know theres not near as much hard core tech as there used to be in the early Moparts years. Kinda sad really.

Still, as I said, with the popularity of all the street Outlaw/275, etc, not too many "all motor" combos come to the line anymore. What would it hurt to give it a shot, In it's heyday Moparts used to SET THE TRENDS on the net, we need to get back to that twocents

The reason that happens, is because when there is some decent tech posted, there is a relentless herd of internet know it all trolls who come along shortly thereafter and inform guys how wrong they are.

I would love to see power adder sections!

Sadly sharing knowledge seems to make you a target for the ones that just want to win a argument so they feel special.I think that is hurting this site..

I also miss the great contributors of useful information.

The numbers are dwindling .

Thank you! To all the people left that freely share years of valuable information here for free.

If we could respectfully share our opinions things might come back around its not just on this sight its everywhere moparts was better when i first found it.

I'm in...my next build is on the design board and it's probably going to be small block A body turbo, I've been all over the net looking for good info...sure would be nice to find it all here. The guy with the green 4 door self proclaimed "ugliest turbo car on the planet", seems like a wealth of self taught knowledge, would love to spend some time picking his brain. boogie

Monte,

I hear you buddy, I remember the days when all the "hitters' would show up in the good threads and you'd have pretty much 6-7 pages of hard core USEFUL info, there would be debates and even if they got heated, they stayed respectful. I haven't always agreed wth everyone, nor them with me, but we've always maintained respect. Kinda like a bar debate, it's ok to get heated, just not Over-Heated and personal, we keep it friendly, old school style.

Longing for Net Nostalgia now....how far we've come....and (sadly) how quickly we regressed confused

I'm all for giving it a shot, at one time this site was for Mopars what the Bullet is for tech, the underground attention (it's success) I suppose drew the trolls to the party.

I finally got an awesome block I can legitimately throw some serious power too, I'm particularly interested in hearing real world experience and particularly the small tire turbo/converter/ gearing tech to come up with a great, reliable (and hopefully not too expensive) combo.

Thanks go out to my small network of PM buddy's that are helping me out! It's good we have moparts friends we can call on and I'm happy to help the scores of you who've bounced N/A combo ideas off of me, I'm always happy to help. , it's just a shame we haven't been able to share good tech publicly much any more.

I'm kinda lost here. What are these so-called power adders you speak of. LOL. And this is from a guy that said he would never EVER use nitrous. I ate those words with hot sauce sprinkled on them.

I like the idea of another forum, but in reality it'll never work. Why not just put it all here in the race section? There's not enough traffic here to make your thread move off the front page for a while.

There's probably like 10 guys here running nitrous, lol.

Basically, my thought, too. There's already enough non-tech filler being posted on this forum that adding the various power-adder threads should still fit right in.

Just my twocents from the owner of an N/A car that hasn't been running since 2009... whistling

Trying to decide if I'm the troll, or if I'm the guy who is wrong!!

Some of the best tech I've ever gotten off of this board is when I took a hard line, dug in, stance on my beliefs about the way to do things. Then someone like Monte or fast68, or BradH refuted my stance by thoroughly explaining that there was a better way to do it, instead of just attacking me or my approach.

If you look at Drag Week as a snap shot of the Mopar guys, 90% are in the N/A classes.

Hate to say it and like Pittsburgh Racer never thought I would,but Facebook is your friend as it has a wealth of knowledge from all brands...Biggest plus is all the sub groups like All Mopar Heads up 10.5...RWD boosted Mopar...TurboBullet...NitrousBullet...NitrousTech along with way more than I can list...Also it's crazy how much stuff is fore sale on it !!

I was like most and said I would never do but when it became easier to keep up with my out of town kids & grandchildren I gave it a try and also found a whole new world !!

Plus you would be surprised at who all is there...Times do change !!
