*fix the link mate*

[dundas]

sorry buddy eheheh
works now ^_^

I want to see the dyno charts before I make any comments.

[linkorr]

mmmmmm........

[redliner]

cant even read the dyno properly

[type one]

sounds nice and dodgee to me... i like the listing of all the places this things sells at LOL...

[McChook]

gimmic
its a hairdryer - literally

[carbine]

"If you force 50% more air into a 3.2 litre engine it performs like 4.8 litre engine!"


:\

Sounds very much like another product called, Turbo X, not saying they are though

Turbo X was basically a compressor, that was electrically powered, rather than exhaust powered, claimed to be able to push a couple of psi, 3-4, maybe 5 even, can't remember.

[dundas]

i see-- well the dyno charts look as though they were done in 1970's(if they had dynos back then)
he should give one away to prove his point i think then have a full dyno and reveiw written up by the car owner-
then we could see what goes on hehehe-- or like say if it doesnt work money back or sumthing like dat-

[[[d a n n y]]]

um...this thing does work ..

but only a minor improvement ..not so great.

[dundas]

danny -- are you serious-- you had on your car before man?

[**Ghost**]

hmmm i'm getting something similar thats made in germany. it LOOKS a bit more functional than the one in there, but essentially its a box with a fan thats installed between the throttle body and intake, powered by electricity

My mechanic CLAIMS that it runs at about 4-5 PSI, and will generate around 25HP at the wheels. Which is a massive improvement for a mere 500 bucks installed.

I will get dyno figures before and after (cos mech said that if no improvement i dont have to pay himand i get the thing for free)... neone want me to post it up here?|

[dundas]

hahah good shit0- yeah post it whereever mate-- shout me a PM when you get it all dude-- i wanna check it out---

[EuroAccord13]

So the bottomline is that it just increases the airflow to the engine yah? Seems like all his distributors and dyno readouts are from Malaysia.. I might call my tuner in Malaysia up to check this item out and report back with the findings...

Then there is also another thing, VTEC engines love intake air with fast velocity.. Might be beneficial to us :D... Ah well, get back to you soon....

CHEERS
Nick

P.S ---> Dundas... When you get it, show us the pics and what differences you got after the install :D

[SIKCVC]

the main issue here is that our ECU's cant handle the extra air... even if it does produce a heap more, the ECU can only adjust so much before it doesn't understand whats going on (or something to that effect) and your engine starts to run shit.

[**Ghost**]

hmmm if wot u say is true SIKCVC (i think it makes sense)... then would installing a VAFC/SAFC or some form of engigne management compensate for it?

[Weq]

gimmi. there is no way this thing will produce enough air to make boost, and i rekon will just hinder performance because its a restriction in the intake. The only supercharger worth ur money, is something that is belt driven off the crank :P

as for the ECu comment. the ECU cant handle boost, it will throw a CELL at the sign of positive pressure. DOnt worry bout that happening with this thing though :P AN AFC will do nothing for u, unless u get injectors around the 440cc range, and then trimming fuel right back. this can fool the ECU up to about 10-11psi.

[**Ghost**]

personally speaking i'm still willing to give the product the benefit of doubt... especially since i can get it for free if it doesnt work...

think about, a long while back turbos or superchargers were new concepts too... i reckon i'll give it s hot

[dundas]

yeah well if what is happeneg to u Ghost is gonna go-- its good--- if it dun work u get ur money back wicked deal-
make sure u have a lil thing going wit ur mechanic-- if it fks up within 6 months or sumthin u also get ur oney back ^_^ just hope it dun damage ur car das all
goodluck when u getting it done anyways?
post some pics too alright ^_^

[[[d a n n y]]]

danny -- are you serious-- you had on your car before man?

when i was woriking at autojoy..
one of the workers had a trial on his car..

and it did improve but..

not much..

POS i recon :p

but its not worth 500. not worth the effort.
500 could get u a td04 and a hf manifold with adapater plate.

Exactly
And $500 could get you a set of decent headers....
Man, that makes NA sound retarded.......
