Question This HAS to be a joke!

http://www.mustangforums.com/forum/s...d.php?t=368307

Quote:
My car was idling like crap the other day so I figured since I just got it, it may have been awhile since anyone changed the oil out. I decided to go ahead and change the oil. I used Mobile 1 synthentic oil like I was reccomended on here. Anyways, I drain out the oil and noticed it was extremely dark and even after 10 minutes of draining, it was still coming out. I decided to go ahead and flush it to make sure all the bad stuff got out. I hooked up the hose, ran water through the engine, started it up and was waiting for the water to come out clean (The engine never went above idle so I was told this would be ok). Anyways, About 3 minutes into this, then engine starts shaking and shuts off. I figured it was all cleaned out so I plugged it up, added the oil and figured I was ready to go. WRONG! The car won't freaking start now. This car has been nothing but trouble for me, I think I am done with it.[/url]

I thought this kind of automotive stupidity was reserved for only females. I guess this car would be nothing but trouble if you're the one working on it.

reminds me of a story I heard awhile back. This kid just got a new Honda and wanted to do engine mods. well I guess his buddy told him he could port and polish his engine by hooking up a sand blaster to each fuel port.
Well the kid did this then went to start the car and surprise it started............for about 5 minutes.

That reminds me. A friend back in high school got pissed off at another student, long story short, he ended up dumping BB's down the other guys carb. I don't think I could be that mean.

Its still not as bad as the guy who came up with DEI....... Direct Exhaust Injection. I think the original thread is gone but the legacy remains.

I found a copy of the guys first post.

First off, Jay, stay out of this.

Ok. I didn't want to mention it but I was thinking about turbo charging my Vette. I got to thinking about it and how in efficient even turbos are (compressor efficiencies of about 80% at best).

Since a turbo's function is to pressurize incoming air and force it into the upper motor, and turbos are driven by high pressure exhaust gas created from the combustion process, couldn't I just bypass the turbo altogether and route my headers back into the throttle bodies?

Since I have CFI, I could balance the DEI (direct exhaust injection as I just coined it) by feeding one header into each throttle body. Yes, the charge air wouldn’t be that cold, but it would be under a hell of a lot more pressure.

I attached a quick sketch below:


There are still a few things I need to work out:
1) How do I get the CFI aircleaner to fit in a way that hides this plumbing?
2) Does anyone make a V-band clamp that will bolt an exhaust header to a CFI throttle body?
3) What pinion angle should I use in my rear-end? I’m sure there will be a noticeable difference in torque output.

What do you guys think?

I kind of feel sorry for the guy, if its real, some people just aren't mechanically inclined. Then there's people that flush their crank case with water. Someone was probably being sarcastic, and the guy couldn't detect it, possible relation to Grizz?

I bet that guy was an employee of either Jiffy Lube or Oil Can Henry's. I am a certified Valvoline lube tech, and used to have alot of hack jobs come in from the crack heads at those places
