That has all kinds of awesome written all over it!!!!!!

those things will give you boost the problems is they'll give it to you even if you are standing at redlight. if they could manage to come up with one that spools proportionaly to engine speed i'd actually get one.

[rougeben83]

That 0.5psi of boost won't be doing anything anywhere in the rev range :lol:

Are you serious???

i wouldnt even waste money on it, i prob get one of them tornado things lol

I'd like to do an "electric" supercharger on my car. Use a 12 hp engine to directly drive a traditional blower style supercharger. Hook up the bypass on the supercharger like normal, so at idle, no boost, then at idle, stomp it and you get full boost, instantly!

It's just awesome that htye used an actual dyno too. Why not fake it? It's OBVIOUS from that chart that the damn thing is useless.

So bite the bullet and try it out and gives us a review.

I looked at the sheet, the torque stayed the same only max hp changed.. plus the test car was a Vtec honda :-?

[Wiscon_Mark]

Are you saying they just flipped their VTEC switch on for the second run?

:lol:

[SilentRacer]

I think he means the honda gets the extra HP in those RPMS we can't get to.

Bah, I think that crappy supercharger would choke the engine at those RPMs. I doubt those dyno runs are any more honest than the claims they make about the supercharger.

And that's not to say that there aren't high revving subarus... the EJ207 has a redline of 8,000 rpms. I wish we had it here in the states...

Ding, plus from what i understand horsepower gains from vtec systems are inconsistent.. what i understand, dont know if its true.

[Wiscon_Mark]

Well, yeah, it's inconsistant. It actively adjusts the valves due to conditions, like fuel, air temp, moisture in the air, etc, so each run will be a little different (and probably noticable on the dyno).

actually the torque increased over the powerband. if it didnt its impossible to gain hp.

wrong. VTEC acts the same every time. all VTEC systems activate at a given RPM providing there is enough engine load and oil temp and pressure are in working order. iVTEC will change the cam phasing as it sees fit based on engine load and rpm but still the vtec cam lob change will occur at a given rpm.

Dynos will read inconsistantly because of changes in air temp and humidity, because those factors affect every car.

all this hunk of junk does is run your car lean... sounds like a great idea to me.

Huh? As long as you're not overworking the MAF or the fuel system, why would it make the car run lean? It doesn't put nearly enough boost to overload the injectors, rails, or fuel pump.

I dont know jack about Vtec's lol i only hear ppl rambling about vtech controlers and dyno tuning
