Some Einstein on the Mazda MX-6 forums decided to "engineer" a solution to his laggy t3/t4; blister weld on some extra fins! I bet the folks at Garrett got a good laugh out of this

That is soooo bad... Just wait til those spot welds break and he cant find where the pieces went... I hate when turbos shell out...

 

Wow! That's a great idea.

 

The man is a genious!

 

"But,but,but....I spaced the welds equally!"

 

oh god what a dolt

 

What page did the fins go through the block and out the hood? I don't feel like reading through 46 pages.

 

OMFG!

Well, on the bright side, now he can go buy a new turbo to reduce lag...

(guess they never studied turbomachinery & vibration, or really had a clue as to fluid-flow either...)

 

What's amazing is that the idiots at Mazda didn't think of doing that to start out with. Yep, this is how it should've come out of the factory.

 

Or a clue how to weld. Looks like it could be solder and that would not surprise me one bit. No, sir.

 

what exactly makes mazda engineers idiots. last time i checked there were more mazda's at each track event then i can count... don't forget the formula mazda cars, and the mazda factory cars...

i mean this guy is clearly bored and a bit off his rocker... but mazda?

The same could easily be said for rover/bmw in a few cases.

 

I prefer the subsequent improvement providing decreased lag:



hmmmmm . . . donuts.

I guess in the future I should emphasize my sarcasm with some kind of emoticon

 

The internet is serious buisness.

 

Emoticons are our friends.

 

indeed... probably about as serious as this guy was when he added those fins onto that turbo.

 

^ That's awesome . Does anyone know if this is a viable mod for the M45?

 

mazda rx7 ftw

 

HA! Someone made a webpage to condense all the jokes on this guy: http://www.copexturbo.com/

 

that's the hot side of the turbo.....fins would be shot straight out the tailpipe like ninja throwing stars

 

Either way, what pages does that happen?

 

I'm liking this mod more and more.

 

With the turbo spooling with less lag, all that needs to be done now is mount the flux capacitor and tune the NOS to run 9s.

 

How many gigawatts of nawz should he run

 

I like it. The guy needs to start a pre-sale list.

 

thats what I waas thinking
