the pic is a home made setup. the ebay link is to a mass manufactured setup that's already been imported from the US.

leave the turbos for sixes, superchargers for eights :rant:

why? a 5.7L V8 350 chev with twin turbo makes about 500kw pretty easily.

also, you might wanna part your vast worldly knowledge on forced induction theories to AMG, because they just announced the new AMG SLK will be powered by a 5.5L twin turbo V8.

ghetto forced induction is where it's at

bring on

- turbochargers at the rear diff

- external wastegate welded onto the turbocharger housing

- single turbocharger on v6 with psycho exhaust manifold

- blank plate on the turbocharger CHRA assembly to remove the compressor N/A style

nope you can have turbocharged carby

its called either

suck through

or blow through

either turbocharger in front of the carby

or after the carby

its pretty complicated and a big mess

and you cant run an intercooler (mixed oxygen and mixed fuel = bomb inside an intercooler core)

ive looked at it before with a friend who had an old torana and got a to4 kit for it

I know, I built my own blow through carby system on a 4AC engine about 4 years ago.

we're talking huge amounts of boost though, which will usually end up forcing the fuel backwards on max boost, starving the engine and sending everything to shit.... so most guys switch to EFI to avoid that.

suck through is where you can't cool the air, and is prone to splode!

because i love the sound of a supercharger. although, you are right. turbo's are better.

on another note: dont you guys hate it when a customer comes in and expects you to kiss his ass? then gets all pissed, abusive and defensive when you reject their offers

Did you offer to lick, and he got offended?

no, i told him that all second hand items do not come with a warranty

yeah try less to push the complimentary rim job next time, might improve your customer service experience.

i tried it last time, tasted like shit. maybe i should spiderman, oh teach me the ways of the spiderman oh funky one.

You basically just gave him the okay to throw jizz in your face. Nice.

I'm gonna go before this thread gets any gayer. Later peoples :)

    • Yes. All of this. But even when you get the NOx as low as you can go on an RB, it will no doubt still be way too high. Same with CO and HCs. The tech and the tuning time just isn't there.
    • Dang. I love the little 'oil used' bingo card on the side.   🤣  Well, now they can use a box and an oil-filled goon.
    • Many many moons ago, I was chatting with Andy Wyatt, about his auto ignition tuning. One of the HUGE things he said to me, when tuning for power, right where you hit peak ignition timing for your max torque, dramatically increases NOx emissions. He was finding in testing, particularly on engines you could advance timing beyond peak torque, that backing the ignition timing off a couple of degrees only made for a small drop in torque (compared to if you keep backing it off further the same amount of degrees) but dramatically reduced NOx emissions. I'd say targetting for 14.7, and he's even mentioned in some scenarios going slightly leaner, and pulling a few degrees of IGN timing will help pass for emissions quite a lot. However, who tunes an RB for emissions
    • The main stuff from.Vibrant I see is more their intercooler piping, and everyone raving about their clamps, but when I looked it was about $150 per clamp... I was a bit   I also thought the public price SP had up was high. As Mark said, a normal exhaust shop can fab them. It was many years ago that I had a full exhaust built, but for a full turbo back exhaust, and 2 custom built mufflers, plus a high flow cat, was about $1,100, and that was fully installed, drive in, drive out. I believe SP was about $900 for 2 mufflers, just supplied   These days, I just buy the material and built it myself, because I need to stretch my $$$
