A little over a year ago I found out that I would be a dad for the first time. This was scary in itself. Immediately I started to think how am I going to be able to afford this treasured hobby of mine. I kept on thinking, gone are the days when I would blow […]

Sport Compact is dead!?!… well, everyone keeps telling me that (all the corporate suits that I run into anyways). I am not so sure that I care to agree with them after attending the Formula D event in Long Beach, CA this past month.
Ten thousand plus enthusiastic fans lined up waiting for over an hour to […]

Woo woo!  The car is lookin’ pretty again.  Thanks to Vertex for an uber-JDM bumper.  This definitely shows off the Spearco intercooler nicely.  Hmm, I might have to put a bigger one on there.

I would like to introduce you to the GT45 Y2004K turbocharger.  This not to be confused with a Turbonetics Y2K turbocharger and no this is not a new Turbonetics offering.  It is however 1002 times the Y2K (2000×1002=2,004,000)! I bring it up because this turbocharger is frequently found for sale on a popular internet auction […]

This is a story of my passion for high performance automobiles and Turbonetics’ clever way of brainwashing me to do a blog every month.  With the launch of our new homepage, I hope you will enjoy Turbonetics’ staff blogs and they will make you want to come back to read some more.  My name is […]

I want to welcome everyone to the new and improved Turbonetics website.  This is my little corner where I get to express my engineering nerdiness on a regular basis.  As the scientific type I like my information to be presented with factual data to backup any claims.  Therefore I feel it is necessary to introduce […]
