As someone who grew up in the middle of no where, there are no braver(see: dumber) souls than some of them hill billies. They might be hill billies but they have man cards usually, lol
LOL, as a word etymology nerd, I absolutely despise using a term if I don't know at least a bit of history, even if it's apocryphal. From what I've found, it did come from rock climbing, apparently as far back as the mid 90s, possibly earlier. It's a shortened version of ascend, and my understanding is it's basically just saying "go for it, don't worry about the risk."
It's used excessively in the Sloppy Mechanics group. After you hit your engine with your purse and turn the china turbo to 40psi while using PEX fuel line, you're supposed to send it.
I've only heard it used by a spotter while on the range. It's funny how nowadays people will take a word or phrase and attach a whole new meaning to it.
Mid 90's pffff, sht was played out by then in the hard core philatelist sub-culture.
WTF were we talking about again?
Also incorrect, but close. It's not off the shelf units I have in the car. The benefits of owning a turbo manufacturing company....
I'm guessing you either made you own compressor housing or you manage to fit the skyline ones
i've personally never heard this term "Send It" outside of the military community until a couple months ago. it honestly bothers the hell out of me when people use it for stuff other than what it was started off being used for. Artillery and calls for fire in a hot zone. But freedom of speech i guess.
Just add it to the list of things someone said one day and everyone started spewing it. kinda like "YOLO" or "Fleek" or any of the other hundreds of words, lol
This ^^
It was a common phrase in artillery that was adopted by the scout sniper community too and then carried over to precision shooting. It was always the confirmation between the spotter and shooter that the firing solution was confirmed correct and to send a round down range.
Things that have already been done, what do you guys think this means?
Sly man! Hey where can I get to with your GC's? 2009 135i FBO minus fueling upgrades, they are coming, I want to stay on 93 pump fuel for the time being.Also incorrect, but close. It's not off the shelf units I have in the car. The benefits of owning a turbo manufacturing company....
Without fueling upgrades you'll just be limited to the fueling system. So your real question will be what's the limit of the stock fuel system...
Generally speaking you'll cap out around 450hp if you have good enough cooling to get a decent ignition advance on 93o.

Well on the Dyno I have 440 RWHP! Apparently ... I have done something right! Comp ER FMIC, COMP ER Twin Oil Coolers, CSF tri pass Radiator, BMS full flow oil NO Thermostat, When its warm out I take it easy until I have 165 F Oil temps. AIT's are NEVER over 15 degrees over ambiant to 95+ F (I think that says a lot about ER's FMIC with CF shrounds)! Never gone to limp, no misfires, running Laser Iridium Premium ILZKBR7B8DG Stock 95770 Plugs gapped to I think 23 I could be wrong... it's been a while. Stocker coils new from FCP. They have the BEST prices for coils and Fuel injectors (index12's) $850 for 6. I did not use them sent em back because the new plugs and coils stopped all misfires. Custom Dyno tune from FMU Naperville, IL. (formerly Plainfield, IL.)
Thanks much for the input.
Now to SAVE UP for the GC's be in Touch Tony!
