Hey guys I am not trying to rain on your parade here. Please continue as if I hadn't dropped in.

I must not be a man, I ran WOT switch/pop-off valve/RPM window switch when I used to run nitrous

The thing is you don't want to keep adding to the cost.... You might as well go Fi if you are going to add another 1000 bucks of stuff. Rob said there is a progressive controller that you speak of but it is 700 extra and could do partial boost on rpm and throttle position. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2 |

When do you anticipate a kit on the market? This is really cool stuff.

Are the three included batteries the same? Edit, I wouldn't have any problem relocating the battery myself. I wouldn't expect that price to include a kit for that. |

As you can see this gets out of hand very quick. Right now it is a awesome boost in power for the price. All i can say is im having a blast and generally surprising people on the streets as this thing picks up speed damn fast! |

I fully understand the issues when it comes to controlling the power and the way it behaves. Now... as fenton mentioned... it's not a beast to handle. It's not like you risk all that power suddenly coming on and losing control of the car. You only mash the pedal when you want the maximum power and, while it's very noticeable, it's not alarming when it comes on. I described it on the MCM forums as being exactly like the scene from the original TF&TF when Dom hits the nitrous switch and gets slammed back into his seat... except with only about 10% of the drama. It's a very noticeable increase in power, but it's not gonna throw you for a loop. The other issue is the availability though, and you seem to be under the impression that you need to wait between uses or that sometimes it's just not available. That hasn't been the case at all for either fenton or myself. It just never happened. |

When the tech gets there and we can get 5 or 6 psi on a setup akin to this watch OUT!
5 or 6 psi would probably be way over 300whp given the current equation considering non-parasitic boost. When 1.5psi equal 40hp LOL. Your clutch would get murdered too at this point and dont forget about the fuelling system |

Don't bother. I tried. Maybe you can do better, but I found the sound in a video just doesn't do justice to the drama. In person though... and I've tried it on a few different people... you just can't do it and not chuckle. It's very unexpectedly hilarious.

@fenton , with the amount of interest this is generating we really need some solid development info from the Phantom guys. Is there any way you could ask one of the guys you're working with to get on this forum and start posting in this thread?
It's already getting to a point where it's annoying to keep reading about how awesome it is without any real development updates directly from the manufacturer or information regarding when others will be able to purchase this kit for themselves. It would also be really nice to get some of our questions answered directly by a Phantom rep. I know I'm not alone on this. |
