    What scares me is the number of guys I see going 90 on the interstate in shorts and t shirts and sandles with there girl on the back and no helmets. My dad got knocked of his gold wing by a deer going 40 mph and even that messed him up for awhile. The front of his helmet looked like someone took a belt sander to it. His face would have been really fucked up if he hadn't chose to wear a full face that day. My father in laws face is all scared up from hi centering his bike on a gravel road in the 70's going 30 mph. He broke his cheek bone and shoved it up inside his face and they had to rebuild his eye socket. Makes me feel nice and comfy in my kirkey and 5 point

    To be fair if you wreck your bike at 90 chances are your dead anyways, might as well die comfortable. Lol...
    I just stay away from bikes altogether. Seen way too much shit in NICU and personally to take the chance with myself.

    I sold my BMW R65 about 25 years ago after 2 trips to the ER for minor injuries. Been trying to have fun with cars since.

    Glad you made that choice, probably wouldn't have been around long enough to sell me your boost logic manifold had you stuck with bikes.

    Unless you have a GTR. Then you need 1300whp to even feel like its fast.

    There's no reason you shouldn't expect to walk away if you drop your bike at 90mph, as long as you're wearing minimum gear.

    Riding is as safe, or as dangerous as you want it to be.

    i think the guard rails and light poles might disagree with that.

    Then don't drive 90mph on a road lined with guard rails and light poles.

    Honestly, even with a full cage, I wouldnt want to hit a pole in any car at 90mph, let alone an e30 or e36. Cars fold like toothpicks in those situations.

    I figured you guys went to the track, or at least were risking your lives somewhere public that has New Jersey barriers.

    I like how this thread went from "happiness ends at 550", to "happiness is just 5 more pounds of boost away". We are like a support group to get people to drink a more.

    I bought a 366sxe because "fuck it, not ever going small again," so I bought the biggest mfer I could, and love it. But I still don't think its going to make my goals. It may make 750whp, but that's about it. And I cant fit a bigger turbo, I might have to take my turbo to a local place that builds custom borgs and see what they can do for me with the given frame size of the turbo.

    Should be able to make more than that, my 2.8 on the 369sxe put down 860whp in 3rd gear with much more left in it. 66mm on a 3.0-3.2 is an 800-840whp turbo maxed out.

    I tried to talk you into the 369! I know my 2.8 was making over 800 with a cast wheel 366. An 366sxe is going to be good for over 800 on a 3.2. Forced Inductions makes a 71mm wheel will probably max out the turbine.

    Isn't the 369sxe physically bigger than the 366? I cannot fit a bigger compressor cover, as is I had to grind the shit out of the block and cover and it barely fits.

    Dont buy anything until you put your 366 on 40psi.

    Nah, mine was still picking up huge power going from 28 to 32 lbs, and that was on the cast dump truck compressor wheel that flows 10 lbs less air. Bke36is trapped 150 mph on a 366 with a aftermarket billet wheel. 28 lbs I think on an s52. Lots and lots of supras have made 800-850 with cast 366's

    Shoot I had mine over 40psi in florida, until you get the car on a dyno and do pulls at different boost levels you are really taking guesses at how much its making.

    The e85 really widens the efficiency island on any compressor map where on pump it would be too hot.
