I had a buddy who did his cysco cert about 2 years ago in Colorado Springs which has a fairly large tech sector. He also scores in the 150's on IQ tests. Lots of promises were made but he has yet to find a job. The IT field is flooded with people and the folks who you want a job from could give a rats *** how high your IQ is. I hope you know someone because you might need a little help to get your foot in the door. Most companies want a few years experiance to go along with that degree. Remember, your peers now are not a bunch of high schoolers... they are experianced, college edjucated people... many with more edjucation than you will have. Something else you might want to know, in business personalities will make or break a career. I would be suprised if any business would keep someone with your "better than them" kind of attitude and the morale issues that it would create with the rest of the company... I've seen your type come and go.
If I were a career counseler, for someone like you I'd suggest taking some psych classes.

There are lots of not very hard working low income billionares trying to take buy that 1000th vacation home, 100th private jet, or do that 10th hostile takeover (so they can cut your job), that depend on those people getting pennies for doing what we used to get paid dollars to do.
They control the world around us. They filter the info we recieve. A good example rmemebr the dock worker shipping "strike" on the west coast? Well if you look closely there was no strike. It was a lockout. A lockout is where the doors are locked to keep employees from going to work, a strike is where employees refuse to work.
It was only reported correctly for the first few days. Then the "big brother" types (or what ever your belief system has you calling them) stepped in and said "its a strike", the next thing you knew people in the news and on the street all over the US were acting like the locked out workers were evil greedy strikers, just as bad as terrorists, messing with the economy, etc.
The lockout was done because the company and the union couldnt come to an agreement on three main things, safety, and moving jobs out of the US, and the increased workload without increasing pay due to having those jobs cut or moved out of the US.
Sorry about my rant.

ok just to get back to the topic saturn what makes the GMC typhoon ECM so important i mean couldnt you use the ECM off a 3800 supercharged boneville does are easier to find, or is there something found in the typoon thats not in the bonneville?? i mean they are both v6
BTW - kidrch did you ever figure it out??

The ECM difference is the Sunbird Turbo uses 4 P/H TPI injectors which require 2 injector drivers. This is the major difference between the 749 and 730. The 730 has an additional quad ouput driver that the 749 lacks (CCP, AIR solenoids).
So long as you use saturated TPI injectors, a 730 can be used in place of a 749 as wired in a SyTy. It will not replace a 749 as used in a Sunbird Turbo.
The $58 code has been totally hacked and commented, with lots of software support, something that the 3800 SC may not be available.
Another possibilty, is the Turbo Gran Prix code, ($8E IIRC) which uses a 727.. which is the weatherproof version of a 730. But for me the $58 code works fine for my requirements.

ok just so we wont waist time on this fool 40k miles on a 10yr old engine man that is rare

BTW - i'm going to be a junior and i'm actually in ramidial math
ok just so we wont waist time on this fool 40k miles on a 10yr old engine man that is rare
solution 1
y= 2(9- squarerootof 3) or -14.535898384862245412945107316
x= 2 (squarerootof 3) or 3.4641016151377545870548926830
solution 2
y = 2(9+ squarerootof 3) or 21.464101615137754587054892683
x= -2 (squarerootof 3) or -3.4641016151377545870548926830
or if you wanted me to graph them well i wont. thats just too easy.
i learned this back in 7th grade d00d. too easy.

My school doesn't have teachers for our vocational classes, we have certified teachers from a big company called I/Tech. Our cysco classes and some others are teachers from the FCCJ college. Now all theses classes teach us stuff we take a test on right. Well the school board now has the best tech program in the state of florida, maybe the country, because we get free professional classes and free vouchers for tests.
Now noone knows where all this money is coming from but my freshmen year they started upgrading everything and when my sophomore year came around we had the best computer systems out then, an OP5 i-net connection, and all kinds of stuff. Later released to cost the school board 3.5 million dollars, just for my school.
I guess my school is almost guarenteeing us students interested in taking the jobs and the classes, our success we deserve. Now if you have an objection to whatever was said my school A. Philip Randolph Academies of Technology has been featured in a quite a few magazines and in one of the pictures i'm in it.

I hope you never get a job fixing anything. In two years there could be a massive string of system failures because the servers overheated from being covered in faux fur. But at least it was duct taped on and you have an "150 IQ" which helps soooo much in figuring out which weighs more; an iron-headed second generation small block or an aluminum headed second generation small block, but I guess you "know a lot about cars and shizz." Does the 150 IQ help with spelling...lets check just the last post:
goto= go to?
intership = internship?
headhquartered = headquartered?
seinior = senior?
guarenteed = guaranteed?
atleast = at least?
noone = no one?
I put your last post in Microsoft Word and the little paper clip dude just deleted himself; you killed my Microsoft Word assistant. You lack any real world knowledge of anything related to cars...other than fur. You come on this board, insult senior members, waste server space with useless posts and draw threads off topic. Don't post anymore, nobody here wants to hear it, go talk to your fur and take tests "proving" you're the next Einstein, don't post anymore, pretty simple, but you just don't get it.
Anyhoo Saturn5, your car is awesome. It's awesome to see innovation like this, especially on this board. Is the boost relatively uniform from both blowers? Run it all out and let us know how it goes.

You know, I'm changing to a T400... I could always run by Hancock Fabrics and duct tape some fur on the tranny case.. maybe try and pass it off to the techs as a tranny blanket.. yeah thats it..
Thanks, once I get the T400 in and some tuning, I'll take it back to the track.. see if the JY 305 lives to ride again..
Boost is a combined value.. I am taking for granted that both blowers are outputing the same psi.

I have read this entire post and have a couple comments. First off I love the twin blowers, well thought out and executed nicely. Second (to kidrcth) wake up d00d. I have a nephew with the same dream as you, or at least he had one. After tech school and more certs than he can name he is working as a phone tech for Earthlink trouble shooting dial up connection problems for customers who can't figure out how to get on the internet. His dreams of a shiny new Lotus have been put on the back burner for now.
It's smarter to do research on the topic before you enter a debate than to debate on a topic you know little about. And just plain idiotic to start a debate on a topic you know nothing about.
Nice job Saturn, it's refreshing to see that most of the collective brain cells on this board are not stunted. Hint, hint.

2. Glad to see that this kid's high school is requiring personality classes before attending college.
3. Are they letting him go to community college because the McDonalds turned him down?
4. Tony C...great comments...totally LMAO
Saturn5, sorry about the hijacked thread (I will apologize for the kid because he apparently doesn't realize that he should)...but it is one of the best ones I have seen on TGO...Seriously cool tech and comic relief too...

A two stage WI system is on the planning board. First stage will inject water behind the TB, the second stage will kick in a few psi higher and spray both intercoolers externally. The same controller will also control the air door I've made in the bumper. Basically the license plate flips down to allow more air directly to the intercoolers.

Is the license plate setup motorized, manual, cable, or does it just fall down at higher speeds (weak spring)?
Pretty sweet...the spray into the TB is going to contain a bit of alcohol, right? My research on my old Turbo Talon indicated that guys were doing this to help cool EGT's a bit too on humid days.

Yes it will be a alc/h2o mix.

Nope....
Good grief Charle Brown... dust off the archives..
Nope I've pulled the Bu apart.
I have the driveline, and blower setup gathering dust in my garage. I traded the Bu rolling shell to my nephew for a 98 FZR 600 and am currently working on my SVO.
Its now getting a LS1 and T56 once he comes and drags it over to his garage.
The original 305 finally gave up the ghost, collapsing a piston skirt but never did explode even tho it did not have crap for oil pressure even with straight 50 weight when hot.
The replacement shortblock is a 90 roller 305 with a LT1 cam and everything else being the same.
It was a cool project, however I got tired of replacing belts all the time, the blowers just had so much stress that they would kill a belt every two weeks at $25 a pop.
Anyways, I'm working on getting a 749 to run on the SVO, gathering parts for a fresh head and looking for a HY35 once I build a header.

I remember the first time I met you and heard that damned thing whistling as you pulled into the cruise spot lol
Or getting 10 psi after you showed me it only had 3psi on the oil guage :-)

Unique and homebuilt are always the neatest projects.

There’s a local guy that comes into the shop that has done it on a 455 Olds or buick… says it runs fine once he figured out the right combination of MAF and injectors. The EEC is surprisingly flexable compared to the gm ecms, but more of a pain to change once you get to the point where you need to do that.
