Has o ever bought a crate engine?

Has o ever bought a crate engine?

Are they worth buying new to do a build yourself?

>inb4 no ecoboost

It is usually better to rebuild from a strong base than buying a new engine.

>gm
trash

electric cars are superior anyway

but you can have a 750 hp race engine for the price of a base c5

>electric cars are superior

not when you have to replace the battery

you can't do a rebuild on a battery, it's fucking garbage

>trash
yes, internal combustion engines are trash

They pollute more and are slower.

depends on how much you trust yourself as an engine builder

>trash
yes batteries, I know

>batteries
Yep, they're superior. Glad we agree

>batteries can't be rebuilt but engines can

>engines are so shit they need to be rebuilt

>batteries have a shorter life than engines
>have to be recycled when they die

not him but
>batteries are so shit they can't be repaired XD

Quit responding to this obvious bait

>ice fag triggered his engine is slower
lol
that wasn't even funny

not even trying anymore (just like ice)

mad ice cuck spotted

No but my brother ordered a 4L60, and axle with 4/.10 gears straight from Chevrolet. Arrived in a few days, with a dolly/ hand truck, moved it to the back yard, and installed it all.

>Tesla can't even break 8 mins on the ring
>fastest car on the ring has an ice only

BLOWN TFO

...

still slower to 60

for some reason I read this in a southern accent . .

maybe Texas

>his car is slower everywhere possible but in a straight line to 60

congrats on the hairdryer buddy, too bad it can't compete with real cars

776 HP from a naturally aspirated V8 with a carb.

That's 200 more than my biturbo V12

fuckin crazy mang

0-60 is the only important day to day metric

>can't compete
you're right, ice can't compete with a fucking sedan, lol

>0-60 is the only important
>only important

t.battery cuck

Thank you for admitting your car is only good at one thing, while real ice cars are better at everything else

So you admit ice can't compete?

>go 0-60
>immediately enter limp mode

Aww, the yuppie thinks his car is good

OwOwOw-Owwwwooooooooohhh

it also only does that on 110 octane and costs $24,000

that said there are crate engines that make well over 1000hp all motor on 91 but they cost like 50K+

lol, ice fags getting triggered

ice competes and is faster at every track, ring, oval, or anywhere with a turn on any road over battery

how is that?

dang this is something i'm self conscious about. I'm from so-cal but have had others say I have an accent

east coast superchargers make the PAXTON NOVI

get forged everything and add one of those and it would probably cost less than a comperable HP build crate engine

dont feel bad Im from the south

when I hear myself on a recording I want to sudoku

>better for the environment
>faster to 60
>comparing relatively new tech to nearly perfected tech

>better for the environment
Are you fucking retarded?

>made of fucking lithium
>charged with electricity from coal plants

Fucking children

>better for the environment
>

>battery slower everywhere that has a turn

fucking kek, why even try to compete

that's a nice copper mine.

The electricity used to charge them is a dependent variable, dumbass.

>hurr durr electric cars pollute more initially
Over the course of an electric cars lifetime including all variables it will pollute less. Deal with it.
stay btfo

>battery: 1 straight line
>ice: infinitely faster everywhere else

>he will defend this
Why?

>muh drag racing
drag goes on

>won't even attempt to defend ice pollutes more
absolutely btfo

>he has no argument for being completely slower and inferior

>thinks his car can change the climate or has a meaningful effect on pllution

You are like a baby

>ad hominems
>he thinks his car doesn't have a meaningful effect on pollution
lol

Did you forget what board you are on?

>>>/reddit/

enjoy being slower on every turn the entire world over

>pollution
This forum is about cars, not the environment you cuck

this board is for cars

if you want to discuss pollution you have to take it somewhere else
>reddit
This board is for cars

>slower
yes, ice is slower to 60
We are discussing cars and you're getting btfo, stay mad bitchboi.

>muh pollution

but comrade, global warming is benefit to mother russia

engine with internal combustion is having:

better range
can run on vodka
is sound like machine of west front
can run on vodka
can run on vodka
more power of top end
can run on vodka

electric vehicle is for american bourgeosie who pollute more than average russian just buying import vegan white privilege diet

>fastest 0 to 60 car in the world has an ice

why are you retarded?

Why would you only want to get to 60 the quickest, that makes no sense?

the car can only do 1 thing fast and that's it

>a multimillion dollar car barely outperforms a 100k sedan to 60 mph
>meanwhile a 300k supercar loses to the same sedan
lol, why is ice such shit?
It's the only important day to day metric.

>elon musk has bent this many asses

>day to day metric

What about people who buy cars to race/compete with them?

>OHV in 2016
YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP

So you admit there are ice vehicles that are faster to 60?

>buying a sedan to race with
They're producing a sports car later on. You expect to much out of this car. It's literally the first gen of the car.
Yes, that cost more than 10 times more.

>only important day to day metric

So day to day your car doesn't turn?

>reading comphrension

You didn't answer the question though. What do people do who want to race/compete with cars that aren't in a straight line?

buy a sports car?

Yes or no, day to day does your car turn?

Going around corners is a valid day to day metric. Battery cars weigh more and have lower cornering performance.

>OVERHEAD VALVES

>buy a sports car?

Which one?

>people take turns at 200 mph in day to day scenarios
this is how you sound
depends

>depends

In any scenario will it solely be battery powered?

Important for immature stoplight racers who don't know what's appropriate behaviour for when, maybe

EVs confirmed for children's shit

>this mad you need 1.2 million dollars to beat a sedan to 60
lol
depends

Sharp turns don't require high speeds

Which will make a U-turn faster, a 5000 lb battery car, or a 2600 lb ice car?

Depends.

>depends

Name a racing series that isn't drag racing where I can run a Tesla?

if they have the same tires and standard alignment

Which will carry the weight around the corner more quickly?

>ignore this series
>it doesn't fit my agenda
depends. The model s has an extremely low center of gravity.

I bought a gm ht383e for my k1500. It was a great engine, but in hindsight I could have done the same build for 1/2 the price

I want to race cars through turns

Are you saying I can't do that with a battery powered car?

>depends

So why can't the Model S break 8 mins at the Nurburgring if it can corner so well, I'm confused?

Insufficient cooling that prevents it from racing for extended periods of time.
You can? It's a sedan. Name one production sedan that can handle like a 918 or brake like one.

>You can?

What league/series?

autocross

Pikes peak.

>On the skid pad, the ESC system is clearly limiting the car's progress around the circle. Just as the tires begin to howl, the throttle becomes unresponsive, limiting the speed.

Care to explain this?

Tesla is closed source. Pretty sure once they make their sports car that will be solved.

So am I supposed to believe a car that cuts it's throttle and becomes unresponsive

Can corner more quickly than a lighter car with more power that doesn't?

GUYS ITS NOT MY FAULT
ITS THE CARS

HONEST

I KNOW WHAT IM DOING


ITS THE CAR THAT DOESNT

THE CARS FAULT NOT THE DRIVERS FAULT


THE COUNTRY DIDNT KNOW WHAT THEY WERE DOING AND MESSED ME UP

THOSE ENGINEERS DONT KNOW WHATS BEST


BUT I DO


BUT ITS NOT THE BEST BECAUSE ITS THE CARS FAULT

>autocross

Teslas are put in Super Stock class and can't compete. People have run them before and never won or came close.
>pikes Peak

banned

Who cares if you win. It's a sedan, dumbass.

>I want to race cars
>cars

SCCA is solo

I want to race battery powered cars and you still haven't given me an option

*autocross

pikes peak.

i just said this

>I want to race cars
>cars
>s
Plural

I want to race door to door with my battery car. Where do I do that?

>High-speed running also put a strain on the battery pack, to the point that the team had to place bags of ice under the car to cool it off.

Jesus fucking christ, and that was with 800lbs gone

Weight has nothing to do with it. The car has insufficient cooling systems for extending use.
>spoon feed me

*extended

>spoon feed me

Is this how battery users treat people who ask for help on where to race there batter car against other cars?

>cooling systems

How does one cool a 1 ton car battery exactly?

For my Windsor 302, it's really almost worth just buying a crate engine missing accessories and swapping shit over. Crate engines come with both a cam and heads that I would change if I rebuilt the original. Price comes out pretty similar too.

>1 ton
I think you mean 2 ton.

>how do you cool it
By giving it cooling systems more cooling systems? Seem like common sense. Big mistake on Elon's part. He should address the cooling issue in the next gen.
>spoon feed me

>cooling systems

What cooling system, using what?
