But he didn't mention anything technical about guns or cars! *gasp*

Well, to be quite honset, my family would probably care less. I'm not saying this as a false statement, i honestly think my dad, and my aunts/uncles are the only one's in my fam who care about me.

If your girlfriend runs away, she runs away. If she's that much of a sniveling, whining flake, she's not worth it. Now that she's seen you try to kill yourself, she's only going to stick around because she wants to "fix" you. You've gone from being her boyfriend to a community service project in under a few days. You might as well cut your balls off now, buddy, because you sure as hell can't become any less of a man without surgery

Well, i've been with my g/f for 1 1/2 years now, and i don't think i'll ever leave her side. She lives in a f**ked up life, her friends are always messin wit her (not all, but some), her parents are like mine, she is constantly working, never goes out for fun, and is "living in a hell" as she calls it.

Well, i think deep down, i wasn't going to.... i just saw what you all wrote and thought "maybye, just maybye this is better than living this hell i am in..." i had it all out, but who knows, i may not have even tried....... most of the things i do... i back down and don't before i do them....

Ok here's your moment.....

Can a 2.6L Twin Turbo engine be tuned to produce over 1000 hp?
(I'm speaking of the RB26DETT of course, found in the {I think} R32-R34 Skyline GTRs)

Most people have thought about suicide at least once in their life. But those who actually seriously think about it are just looking for an easy way out of their situation. But then again, most people who actually want to do don't have the courage to do it.

Hopefully my computer isn't being weird...

If there is a post above me then it's fine.

Don't just kill yourself, be a Martyr... It's the adult thing to do...

This way you could even have a chance of meeting some attractive virgins in the afterlife.

My first suggestion, that a mod lock this thread or move it to the all about me forum.

I'm assuming that's an import V6 squeezed into a Buick, right? I highly doubt any V6 can be pushed safely to 1000 hp. I know a slew of Ferraris use a 3.8L V8 that puts out 500 hp naturally aspirated. However, the limit to an engine's performance is all about coolant flow, cylinder wall thickness, the fuel's octane rating, spark gap and duration. If you had a 2.6L V6 machined from a Generation I Chevy small-block, with 4140+ aluminum or a high carbon steel forged pistons, connecting rods, etc, you could probably push 800-1000 hp, ONLY if you used a high octane racing gasoline, or methanol (or nitromethane). You'd also have to tune the ignition timing, spark plug gap, exhaust system scavenging, and get a high duration camshaft (probably something in the 260-285º intake/exhaust range) with 0.050" lift. Throw in some 1.7:1 rocker arms with a hydraulic roller valvetrain (to decrease performance loss due to friction), Melling high pressure oil pump (a high pressure oil pump is always preferred over a high volume pump for blown applications), and you've got yourself a winning application.

The reason monster truck engines can be pushed to 1000+ horsepower, is because they have the extra wall thickness, 4-bolt main bearing caps, and they run alcohol fuel. The higher octane is required for anything over 11:1 compression (92+ octane is required for anything 9.5:1 to 11:1, and maybe a little higher if the ignition is powerful enough). Capacitive discharge ignition systems (that spark multiple times with weaker current) can be used, but inductive systems (old school ignitions) are more reliable, because they supply the spark over a longer period of time with a higher current, giving a lower probability of misfiring.

So, to answer your question:

In race applications, yes, a weak V6 could be pushed to that with MAJOR modifications, making it IMPOSSIBLE TO USE AS A DAILY DRIVER. However, for daily street use, or street/strip applications, stick with a supercharged motor (there's parasitic loss to drive the rotor(s), but unlike a turbocharger, there's no boost delay) of up to 800 horsepower (if you're running race gas or alcohol). Also consider the drivetrain and suspension/brake/chassis modifications required to transfer all that power, and keep as wide a contact patch as possible under all conditions. Less performance in a pro-touring car is far more fun than an alcohol-guzzling motor that needs to be rebuilt every other day.
