not that, i am wondering if anyone thinks it will work both on a NA and a Turbo car
I am thinking it might increase power on a type R and reduce turbo lag on my WRX

well theoretically you'd get more air. But will the unit give off alot of heat since it's electric. And also more air doesn't automatically mean more power. You'd have to properly tune the fuel to match the air. I'm no expert here, but one psi is enough to send the factory ECU AWOL.

Please correct me if I'm mistaken. Thank You.

I have no clue like i said it would go on a wrx before my type r I just was thinking that if I could basically making it easier on the engin to pull air that it would create more power at all rpms that is a good point about the heat i never thought of that

thanks

Boo Yeah, I don't think anyone is familiar with that product on this board. I apologize for everyone's ignorance. But why don't you give it a test and dyno the sucker and post results. That'll be a great way to find out for yourself.

Looks like a new unit..It'll be interseting to see how the aftermarket adopts it. That's the true test of whether it is good or it is just a good idea.

question is how would that work with your turbo wrx? spin the compressor wheel at 1 psi before the initial boost? might work...

ok now we are getting somewhere and I own a few cars but only two ar under 5.0L
They said it is for only 5 liter and under
I have a 01 ITR
02 WRX- which find ing good parts for is very hard with out importing
95 Vette ZR1
01 Z06 to be sold for the newest as soon as available


I think on the ITR it would create a very useable power increase because i would have more air

I have other cars but none of yall like my bg domestics atleast I don't think yalll do
I need to move but I like the lake]


Hybri CTR you sure do change your mind alot a minute ago it was useless

bad misconception...If it's fast then it's cool on my list. I don't give a chit whether you drive a 20 liter mustand or a .001 liter echo...if it's fast it's fast.

but uh...i would like to see you post some results when you get it.

oh..ps..dont mind hybrid...he has mood swings all the time...

had a thought wich for me is rare a all motor ITR could use something like this to increase hp off the line in street or drag races, Sounds like a good idea to bad iam a sucker for turbos it still would help spool the turbo quicker I think this is a good idea but i think people could improve on it, It just needs to catch on and some one like dc sports or Jackson Racing needs to take it over and realize anyone can install this and you can't say that about alot

By the way i was told i would never amount to anything and well I ended working with my friend for a rather wealthy company on cars I basically draw out his ideas and we make a $hit load
I say boo yeah to evryone who said we could not amount to anything.

I am not really 17 I said that because i figured they might not send me as much junk mail because i was under age as far as they know I am really 34
Eric did the same thing
