    You've got to be kidding...

    Perhaps they don't have the high level of emotional maturity we exhibit on this forum and need a heavy handed moderator. But to actually go and register on another forum just to post your terms of use??? What a joke.

    The only person from this board to comment on the RX-8 board is ABDragon and his inputs are probably some of the most meaningful in that thread. It's interesting that a mod would consider banning one of us and NOT ban any of their own members that have repeatedly ridiculed the project in that thread. Not that the guy will ever log back in here to see my comment, just thought I'd comment.

    Reading through their forum does remind me a lot of the G35 and 350Z forums I used to frequent. I'm so grateful to be here.

    I used to own a RX-8. Sold it a couple of years ago. Really enjoyed that car!

    My name on RX-8club is "Decat"

    Hi, ya.

    I didn't come here to look, start or get anyone in trouble. This thread was mentioned and I wanted to check it out. It just seemed that one was worried about cross-forum trolling and I wanted to assure that that wouldn't happen. I have no power here. Even there, I only get involved when someone gets childish.
    I also have a Jeep Cherokee and someone in my off-road club has a Vehicross.

    I love this forum and the guys/gals that frequent here. Never seen anyone bashing like I've read on the srt, wsc, and recently rx forums. I've only tried to warn kicker, but he's set on it and from there I did offer my assistance. I just wish he'd actually consider the things previous owners have mentioned. all the other comments there make it hard to sift through the exellent material and points he has brought up and he seems capable of pulling it off but he seems to expect a bullet proof car in the end.... Most of the trolling is coming from their own members who from my knowledge have yet to get time outs.

    Also a little crushed to find out that Decat was just little beast haha thought I found another owner, should've known better

    THIS sounds like cross-forum trolling...

    Can someone please invoke his own rule and suspend him for a while?

    I just came by to say hi! I hope some of what I'm doing can help you guys. Your welcome to copy/paste any information you feel would benefit the Vehicross community.

    I'm aiming to twin turbo the 6VD1@10psi on the stock 9.8:1 pistons and rods. I've tuned custom FI setups with both the EMS (standalone) and the FIC (piggy) and the FIC is very capable of FI tuning on this engine while maintaining OBD2 emissions. My hopes my be high but if I pull it off, more power to Isuzu. I think it's a great engine despite some of it's *manageable* flaws. Yes, the pistons are getting drilled but my engine is on the bench for a bit until I find a crank. Mine wound up having a badly worn thrust bearing.

    I'll try and find the info about the 800+ HP build. It's some company out of Australia and I spoke with the owner about it. The only thing to note was it used a stock crank. I personally find that hard to believe but I'll know soon enough if it'll hold the ~380hp I'll put though it.

    Here it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5tE55DAFKo It's owned by Luke Amanatidis. If you find any more info on it keep me posted.

    Looks like he has some traction issues but it's scootin'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYQqY2V0MuI

    If you can come up with a cost effective turbo setup for these I would guess there would be a lot of interest. Keep us in the loop.
    There's no 'I' in denial.

    Will do but since I don't have a VX/Rodeo/Trooper/BBQ I won't be much help. I will be updating my build thread as the project progresses and will definitely know how the v6 responds to boost.

    Does anyone happen to know the factory rev-limit on a '99 3.2L Rodeo? I'd like to turn 7k out of it if the ECU lets me. That's one disadvantage to a piggyback.
