Is this the stupidest engine mod ever?

[riffer]

I can't believe the stupidity of some people...

Smokey Yunick was the first to port heads in that manner iirc, but I'm pretty sure he didn't do it with the engines running :rofl:

[moT]

i dont see why it didnt work maybee they just have to run the engine in for a bit, to get the air flowing properly i did it with my bike i just gave it a good run down the road to clear it and it ran better than ever has

[yod]

oh ffs :killingme

what an absolute space cadet

[MisterD]

Proof, if proof were needed, that driving licences should be a privilege not a right.

[NOMIS]

Is this a joke???? How Friging dumb are people? lol. is there pics once that head was taken off???

[Edbear]

Man that's gotta be a troll! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Mikkel]

It puts me in mind of that fella on an American car forum who had a spark of genius and thought about how to improve a turbo - cut the turbine out and just pipe the exhaust into the intake...

You are so right. He would grade pebbles then mix them with water to create a slurry, force feeding the slurry through the ports of Chevy heads to remove casting flash and machining marks. He did this because the rules said you weren't allowed to port heads for certain classes.

He was very good at interpreting the rule books and if it wasn't in the rule book, then why couldn't you do it?

In closing I'd have to say that pouring sand into a Honda automobile is a good thing, in any quantity, at any time and through any orifice. (Where do I send the truck to?)

Some people!

A mate of mine years ago dropped a nut into his inlet manifold on his CF Bedford.

He tried everything to reach it, but couldn't (dickhead didn't own a magnet).

Having a 'brainstorm' he decided he would suck it out with his girlfriends new vaccuum cleaner.

BAD idea. The fumes going into the cleaner (through sparking brushes) turned the fucking thing into a hand grenade. There were pieces of it yards. Took me and another mate 1/2 hour to stop laughing.

I saw worse in '73.
For a giggle, stoned-as, listening to Rare Earth's 'Ma' album, someone chucks an aerosol in the open fire. We scatter. BOOM! No surprise, but fark, what a mess. We're all chooking (coz we could get wicked Bhuddah sticks back then) and trying to rake up the red coals and ashes. This bimbo grabs the vacuum cleaner, but we're just as dumb coz we didn't stop her. Up the snout and presto! Turbo'd glowing shit, smoke for Africa, half a dozen stoned teens running around cracking up while the house is about to explode in flames.

The things teens do, crazy!

[ynot slow]

Shit I thought a guy I knew at high school was dumb,he was syphoning petrol and couldn't see so lit his lighter,a few burns later.

[Conquiztador]

Has to be the best thread going at the moment. Really needed the laughs!!.

Thanks guys!!

[koba]

That guy should have tried a flux capacitor, a far better 80s tech engine mod!

[Pedrostt500]

May be they should have done this at full rpm ie brick on accelerator, it would have ejected the sand faster.
I BELIEVE EVERY THING THEY PRINT IN THE TRUTH NEWS PAPER!!!.

[fatzx10r]

what a f@#kin spanner:doh:, lol, that's the funniest thing i herd all week:laugh: cheers

[Patch]

betcha his mumma took it in the ass, cause he got shit for brains :laugh:

some dude on a computer mod forum once posted a story of how he made the ultimate cooling system, by filling his case with water.

although this is possible in theory as water has a low electrical conductivity.

[headlesschicken]

PURE water has nil. too many metals in normal water. btw pure does not mean that expensive crap in a bottle

[FLYMO]

wat a dumbass
if that was eric forman id believe it lol

Vegetable oil, goes off in a few days though, starts to smell bad :lol:

pure meaning de-ionized....i know.

imdying, wouldn't vegetable oil pose a fire risk?

[fridayflash]

lol dumb n dumber

That story reminds me of a local 'Naki lad years ago who together with his mates decided hot up the self propelled lawn mower. As you do after a few bevvies :drinkup: Pull apart, reshape the cam with the grinder and Bob's your aunty.

Result was that the mower was now capable of about a gizzilion revs and the operator sprinted to keep up for a lap or two of the lawn before the mower self destructed. Bugger!

That lad is now one of the 'Naki's most successful high performance engine mechanics with a drag racing history to prove it.

imdying, wouldn't vegetable oil pose a fire risk?We've used things far worse than that... currently a mate is using etheylene in a dual stage phase change unit, prior to that alcohol has been used. Vegetable oil would a pussy cat.

Haaaaaaa!

"stop driving that thing and toe it to someone that will kick you in the nuts and take the car off your hands"

Total disaster. KB looks like a paragon of civility.

:eek5:

that reminds me of a mate's mate (yeh it actually happened, i was there) who tore off the fuel injector for his v-rod 'cos this newfangled shit doesn't make any sense to me' and fitted a keihin. funnily enough the bike woldn't run after that. funnily enough.
