Re: Banned from FTV6

Tell her to step up and treat all members the same instead of warning memebers newer members or ones she doesn't like and letting certain members say anything they want. Whats that called again?

Oh that's right, I forgot. You clearly have mod powers and can see all the editing, deleting, and PMing that takes place on FTV6. Obviously you can keep very close tabs on Dougall's administrative activity and have a very accurate gauge on the job she's doing.



Oh...wait...

Re: Banned from FTV6

She doesn't do here job, just how she posts and comments in her threads where some get banned and the speical members get nothing said to them and the thread just gets locked.Hmmmm

Re: Banned from FTV6

Damn... I missed some drama in the past 5 hours.

Relax guys...no big deal, you got banned from a website...everyone here knows you got valuable information to share, so we'll benefit and they won't.

Not everyone on that site is bad, they have some good guys over there that seem to know there stuff to...But this is just not worth gettin your blood pressure up about...

Re: Banned from FTV6

Dude, to be fair, you came right in the middle of an experienced FI member's build thread, rediculed his plans, calling his project (and several other's plans for a Powerdyne build, including me) a "complete waste of thousands of dollars". That's just disrespectful. His plans called for an A/W intercooler, something you had no experience with during your time with the Powerdyne, therefore you had no ground to continue arguing how poor of a setup it may or may not be. That's like you spending all your money on your turbo build, only to have someone insult your plans and car. See the other side's POV.

Now obviously there's a bigger problem you're dealing with now, but how about, for the sake of peace on both forums, we just put aside our opinions/rants/insults and get on with our lives. You all are adults, just becuase you're on the internet, you don't have to throw your maturity and manners aside. Really.

It's the internet, your rants will lead to nothing productive. You don't like FTV6? That's fine, it's just another website in a sea of millions.

He quoted me , so I backed up my statement, trying to save him the hazzel I went through and alot of money, so I had every right to post my opinion in the thread, I wouldn't have posted if he didn't take one of my posts and say my info isn't correct esp. him being new to the PD. I was trying to help but I got banned. I bought my PD new $3400 another $700 in access. rebuilds and modding the PD $2500. So I put some time in it for 5 years. Its funny when guys post I'm going to intercool the PD and you never here about them again.

Re: Banned from FTV6

The thing is, he acknowledged your info as correct... He agrees that an A/A intercooler was too restrictive. He also calculated how your pulley size was running the Powerdyne way beyond its capabilities, leading to your multiple belt failures.

But his idea used an A/W intercooler, and you have NO experience of that sort with your old setup. And your Powerdyne budget doesn't reflect those of others, so don't throw numbers around. I got my entire setup, freashly rebuilt, with the SC, brackets, BOV, tubing, and all the other odds n ends for $800 to my door. I'm going to run it within specand be happy with an easy 140hp.

Now if Emulsifide comes back in a month as says he toasted his bearings and he's losing 2-3psi, then by all means I'm going to agree with you. I'm just saying, you can't knock his idea untill he posts his data and results (and he seems like a pretty quantitative person, so I'm sure he will)

I hope I'm not coming off as belligerent, I'm just trying to express the other side of the story. Stuff happens, and at the end of the day you got dumped on by FTV6. Just brush it off and keep on going. You seem well established here, why are you letting it hit you so hard?

Re: Banned from FTV6

my point exactly.

[T-Mill]

Re: Banned from FTV6

I don't think he's letting it hit him that hard... when you're right you're right, and when people tell you you're wrong, especially when they abuse their power to do so, it doesn't make you wrong... and it can be very annoying when that happens, so he posted here to vent, no big deal... everyone who posted telling him he's wrong once again is what made it a big deal...

Some people aren't "I told you so" kind of people, they give advice not to just prove what they know, but because they want to share their knowledge...

It's like right now I'm living in a house that my roommate and I rent from his parents, and we're fixing it up while we live here, and I have alot of experience in home improvement, but we rarely do things the way I would because my roommate trumps me and we end up doing it his way bc his parents own the house... even though my way is MUCH better... and it's very annoying that I have that ability and experience, but it's being wasted bc he's too proud to admit that I know more than he does...

Re: Banned from FTV6

928 gave info with the ceramic bearings and venting / shimming, so the PD could take alot more RPMS with a 2.6" I was right on the mark, they called it their racing version($1200 back then), but what they don't tell you after they run theirs in races , they rebuild it. Now when I put the 2.25" grooved pulley on it was too small, slipped alot , spin up to 9-10 PSI and drop to 4 PSI. So put on the 2.6" the next day. If the PD ran like normal setups with a grooved belt it would be alot better. I would dyno on my first run 280 HP's /330Tq's and the cars belt would smoke like crazy at 5700 rpms. 2nd run it would drop down to 240 hp /280 tq. 3rd run 230hp / 250tq. When it is heated it just drops power, so DD you might have 220 HP if your lucky if it is heated and timing will go down and will get false KR. Why I'm I pissed over this , because I give out alot of info helping people and try to help out and their forum is setup for only certain members to have the right to say what they want and others can't voice their opinion without getting attacked. Look how many came over to greet me. Look at that it is tomorrow, already. Wow,

[ssms5411]

Re: Banned from FTV6

Thanks for the members posting the truth and thanks Mogo's for letting this go on and not locking it to get some venting done. I see why alot of members here don't have accounts over there now. I know there are still good people over there and post here, thats why I said certain people.

So whats your point z38camaro?

[nimrod.sixty9]

Re: Banned from FTV6

Wow! What a great thread.

CV6 FTW

Even if ssms was wrong or said a blunt opinion; I dont see how thats grounds for a ban...

This is one reason why I stay here, I have been here quite sometime and feel like I know most ppl almost on a personal level.

And Go ssms for telling them where they can put the :bs:

Re: Banned from FTV6

^ Thanks , you could of stepped in at anytime , while I was trippled + teamed up on.LOL I actually didn't need it they all know the truth. I went back and they have already changed everything around. Ya its alot more friendly here, most just have a good laugh and not too many agruements over stuff. I will always stand by my opinion on stuff I know and only respond to stuff I know about. If I don't know something for sure I will say "I think or you might " in the begining of my post. For the people who PM me for answers on their vehicles and about other stuff, I will do the same, if I don't know for sure I will tell them. I do get about 2-4 PMs a week sometimes from fellow members with questions. Or I send them Hptuner files so they can tune their vehicle and I don't mind at all, it gives me something to do and think about. Glad you enjoyed the thread.

Re: Banned from FTV6

Wouldve been here sooner but I was lighting gunpowder :D So yeah I didnt know of the thread...

I do the same when I dont know. Hard to diagnose an issue over the internet anyway. I just give ideas where to start usually.

Damn I wish I could find someone with HPT around here. Then I would throw some dough down in the ride :D

OK off topic, yeah you were quite a bit ganged on. I just had to come in with some back-up. Pretty obvious point too.
