feelin uneducated

 

Because they cost a small fortune. It's just a 4 cylinder built to the hilt and made to spin like a turbocharger. It will fit into a max sure. But the last time I checked I would not want that kind of torque curve in a 3000lbs + car.

 

hmm...i didnt cuss..or type the * * * *

are those just thrown in automatically for effect?

SPOON is a company like mugen or nismo. The build honda engines not nissan. They take jap specs like the H22A(not H22A1) or B16A(not B18A1) and bring out their full potential. They are some bad mothers.

 

Like a previous poster mentioned, it's primarily Honda engines...you also have to take out a second mortgage to pay for one. NOT cheap.

 

when i saw this topic, i thought someone was going to ask where they could get a SPOON engine for their MAXIMA.

 

Hehehe...this is random, but I remember winning the yellow/black SPOON Civic on Gran Turismo 2 for the PSX. That sh*t had like a 9,000-10,000 redline...!

 

remember in fast and the furious when that guy wanted 3 SPOON MOTORS with turbo chargers, and NOS, what was he going to do? get the high comp SPOON motors just to raise compression for turbo/NOS again?? that sure was funny amongst the honda crowd when we had a massive import scene meet for the premier of that movie.

 

i would also like to add that, in Fast and the Furious, Tran's S2000 had a nissan engine in it, according to the movie dialogue. When he was talking to the mechanic he says, Nissan SR20's would be perfect for the car.

 

LOL, remember when he shoved that guys head in a civic's engine bay and asked when he was getting just a couple of SR20's for it.

 

i liked the movie, but i hate the impression it left on people that already dont know much about cars. ESPECIALLY on the nitrous front, i happen to have nitrous on my car, and people are always asking me "wheres the red button!?!"

 

I also like how long the 1/4 miles are in that movie .... i think the times for the first race were somewhere in the 10 min mark they even sprayed , thats not fast ......

 

HAHA, REMEMBER EACH TIME THEY SHOWED EACH DRIVER YOU CAN SEE THE CROWD WIZZING BY THROUGH THAT WHOLE SEQUENCE, THERE MUST HAVE BEEN 100,000 SPECTATORS THAT NIGHT !!!!!!

I KNOW ITS ALL JUST FOR DRAMA, REMEMBER IN MOVIES 10 SECS = 10 MINUTES, LIKE WHEN A TIME BOMB IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE.

 

ooooooohh spoon me baby.

 

wat car is SR20 for?

 

Greyhound buses.

do a search on "yahoo.com" for "SR20"... there's an entire website devoted to the engine.

 

its for flying.

its very light and durable, cirrus has done a great job of making it.

check for yourself, i've been in one and we did about 160 knots, it was fun to cruise in.

www.sr20.org

 

In the movie, SR20 refers to powerful SR20DET motor. The motor that comes in the Nissan Sylvia Spec R. 2.0Liter Turbo engine. 247HP/202ft-lbs of torque.

 

Who needs a spoon engine? Pretty soon we'll all be riding around in one of these:

 

i'm confused as to which part of the pic we will be riding on..

 

Why so many wheels?

 

The extra wheels are to make it look futuristic, make it cost more, make people ask questions, and so you can go off-road, like most SUV drivers do.

I think they're for climbing stairs/curbs/obstacles/small children.

 

This is Dean Karmen's newest invention (The guy has invented portable dialasis (sp?) machine, a wheel chair that can climb stairs and does not lose balance).

"This is the world's first self-balancing human transporter," Kamen said. "You stand on this Segway Human Transporter and you think forward and then you go forward. If you think backward, you go backward."

WOW. I haven't heard of IT before. I must've been in a coma the past year.

 

hey ru4real?

thats exactly what I said when I found out about IT yesterday!

 

Mr. Garrison featured it on SouthPark. Although.. uhm... I think I'll keep my heated seats...

 

WHOA! good call! and no doubt I will keep my heated seats as well. (and lets not say another word about southparks version of IT )
