Uhh, it uses a turbocharger to reduce the noise...

Hawk · **Posted:** Sun Oct 10, 2004 10:45 pm

yup reduce the noise and adds about 130 hapees to the wheels however it has a whistle sound. :twisted:

That thang got boost and spool lag written allover it.

Hawk · **Posted:** Mon Oct 11, 2004 8:38 am

they are claming it has a special impeller that spools up quick.

Roy · **Posted:** Mon Oct 11, 2004 8:52 am

Ah "The Special Impeller" :shock:

. Ididn't know .

Hawk · **Posted:** Mon Oct 11, 2004 8:58 am

LOL there is a right up im hot rodding that breaks it down. So why not use it in the normal setup, I guess it would make too much boost.

Roy · **Posted:** Mon Oct 11, 2004 9:06 am

Well you could and make more efficient power with it. A good wastegate will keep it out of the overboost situation.

Hawk · **Posted:** Mon Oct 11, 2004 9:13 am

130 Hapees on a stock LS1 that is the only bolt on.

Roy · **Posted:** Mon Oct 11, 2004 9:23 am

They forgot to mention the Methanol injection system in that 130 hp.

Hawk · **Posted:** Mon Oct 11, 2004 10:15 am

true but I think Nitrous would do the same thang then some.

Roy · **Posted:** Mon Oct 11, 2004 10:23 am

Methanol is cheaper than Nitrous ,plus it has a higher octane rating than gasoline.

JackZ28 · **Posted:** Mon Oct 11, 2004 10:31 am

I think 100 hapees per every 5 lbs of boost would be more accurate. The level of experience required to install that system is very minimal indeed.

Hawk · **Posted:** Mon Oct 11, 2004 10:55 am

That is a awsome muffler indeed. I am wondering how it would sound in da chicken.

Have a look at the "TURBO LS1 TUNNEL VIDEO" here
http://www.jlturbo.com/eyecandy.htm
Sounds pretty mean, also outside the tunnel.

What i donÃ‚Â´t like is the oil feed line (and the entire turbo) that close to the ground... hitting something could get really expensive or loosing all your oil through the feed line within seconds/minutes...

And why didnÃ‚Â´t they squeeze an intercooler in there somewhere?
The pressurized tube from the turbo to the intake is several meters anyway, so the pressure drop should be neclectable and you would get some extra power with that...

They are saying that the air temperture cools by the time it gets to the intake. Makeing the need for the intercooler obsolete so you would be gettining 5-7 lbs of cool boost.

JackZ28 · **Posted:** Mon Oct 11, 2004 12:10 pm

That is sweet. Could you imagine running 20 lbs of "cool boost"??? :shock:

Roy · **Posted:** Mon Oct 11, 2004 12:25 pm

H'm Iwonder why all those mechanical engineers that work for the auto
industry never though t of this.

If "they" tell you to jump in the fire, would you believe that as well?

I would stay away from Methanol. The stuff is very hydrophobic (absorbs water out of the air) and then your car runs like sh*t. Worst however is that unburnt methanol has a habit of seeping past the rings and thinning out your engine oil. Nothing like a set of spun bearings to poop on your party.
