Lol, heaven forbid someone has an opposing opinion.

I've looked through a ton of the pages, haven't found anything showing all the components on a scale.

Again, please continue with the insults, ill continue owning two cars that are faster than you.

Opinions are worth nothing without knowledge.
As for using your cars as a penis enhancement on a forum, that says a lot about the wingnut behind the wheel.

Well your is turbo too, it just electric powered. And like you said, the boost came on instantly without lag and there is no parasitic loss. It is not that bad, at the end your car catch up rather quickly!

Although mine is technically turbo as well mine has no function to compensate for altitude whereas a normal turbo car can just close the wastegate up a bit. Yes the turbo may drop out of its efficiency range but it can still produce target boost albeit with higher heat as well.

This when at sea level will be different. Where I am making 1.6 psi sea level car's will make over 2 psi easy.

I do not. I think Rob has all the testers necessary now. Hit him up through the website for more information. As soon as the kit has been made available I have advised him to become a vendor and start a group buy.

Sure, but let's be very clear. THIS thread is NOT about eBay crap. This is different, and works.

I really don't see how you think nitrous is just as safe. Sure it can be if tuned correctly. But it's very easy to screw up.

And another thing that no one else has stated and you may not know, but in a lot of states, it is illegal to have a nitrous system turned on when riding in the streets.

I don't think many bought this car to take to the drag strip every weekend. (If they did they bought the wrong car)

So for all the people that are like me and bought the car because its one of the best looking cheap cars to be produced and is light weight, nimble, and just fun to drive. This is a great option to just add that extra power for daily driving without adding all of the extra components that come with a turbo kit. This basically like installing an intake, a new batter and ground kit. Same amount of time and effort.

And do you really think this weighs more than a turbo kit with both sides of the turbo and more piping and an intercooler and extra exhaust piping among other things? Now some of the super chargers may be around the same weight added but they will be more than double this in price. I really don't want to dump 5 grand into the engine bay if this car. I just don't see the need.

If I want to go fast ill just finish my 2JZ powered RX8

Haha. You guys are cute, I'm hardly trolling, just trying to wrap my head around the fanboy-ism in this thread. Enjoy your hair-dryer and come join the rest of us when you're ready.

Btw, 17:1 AFR in the dyno sheet post in page 1? Good luck making a motor last with that.
