very sily CAI idea but just wanted to know why not?

reason those stupid electric fan pod filters are ineffective!!
"SUPERCHARGE ANY HONDA FOR 69 BUCKS" i'm sure everyone has seen them advertised.

there are legit ones with proper turbines.. however they are a massive drain on battery juice... required like 6 additional batteries in the boot to maintain 1min worth of 8psi boost... again the additional weight disadvantage outweighs any gain.... maybe a good alternative to nos though as it is rechargeable. but then ask anyone with hydraulics how long it takes them to fully charge the 1 spare battery they have in the boot let alone 6.

Besides that, how does your factory engine management go with them?
And as you are saying, you need a whole pile of extra weight.. i-i mean batteries to power it!

I guess you just have to weigh up the situation.
If you ask me, there are no real shortcuts to good power gain, spend the diollars required and put the hard work in and you will be rewarded!

yeah still tricky to tune coz such units are like aircons with electric clutch activation... usually activating at WOT on the TPS or having say a VAFC and using the vtec controller to activate the clutch... but the first method is better as you can have a seperate tune for WOT while the car runs on closed loop while not in WOT.
