smoke Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 twin turbo supercharged with 200hp nitrus shot This guy is goofy. The way he has the pressure of the turbos routed, all it's doing is just blowing hot air around the top of the carbs. It would be the same as hooking up a turbo and then plumbing it into the top of an open element air cleaner. 2 Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 That is pretty ridiculous. Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 This is how a Camaro is to be done. Subtle and clean. I know this is engine porn but that Camaro offends me!!! 2 Quote Link to comment
Trophy24 Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 ^^^ much better. All that plumbing with huge HP numbers makes me just shake my head. Quote Link to comment
smoke Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 I would like to see some real hp numbers from that car (rather than just stated). My feeling is that for what it is...it's probably not all that staggering. Quote Link to comment
paradime Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 I don't think that's the boost charge going into the air scoop. Rather it's the cold air intake for the turbo. The charge usually comes out the side of the turbine. Regardless. This setup is all show and no go. Having two sources of boost like this is not like putting two batteries in series to develop more voltage. Without some kind of one way valve, the early boost from the supercharger would flow back up the turbo creating a pressure lock. This would stall the turbine from spinning fast enough to create any boost. If the turbo creates more pressure than the supercharger it would not multiply boost because it would just blow back up through the S/C intake. Although it looks impressive, this setup is totally pointless because the only thing you'll get is more flow, not more boost. There's only so much flow a motor can ingest without boost forcing it to swallow more. Doing one or the other forced induction right will get you more go, but stacking a bunch of ridiculous shit on your car will bet you more show. 1 Quote Link to comment

Which is what I thought at too first (the intakes) but look at the rear of it. Looks to me like they are just running above the carbs. Quote Link to comment
smoke Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Not sure what the hell happened there, guess it was so good it needed to be quoted twice. Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Its trying to force feed as the supercharger is pulling through. Quote Link to comment
smoke Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Yeah, but...so horribly ineffective that you may as well hire a kid to flap a cookie sheet in front of the scoop. Quote Link to comment
JoeCool Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Best inline 4 engine that Japan has ever built. (ed. for production car use) No bias here, thats just a fact. Interesting build, wonder what power hes making, Im guessing over 300. Not without spark plugs or wires! LOL! :D 1 Quote Link to comment
smoke Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 probably more than that, less weight and all. 1 Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 the guy with the camaro states it is for show he has never run it down a track and never intends to the paint is around 10 years old and he had no idea what power it puts out it has never been on a dyno Quote Link to comment
smoke Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Yeah, I watched that too. Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Not without spark plugs or wires! LOL! :D LOLOLOL. I love the way they set the coil packs up in it, its still only a 15 minute job to change your plugs. Quote Link to comment

JoeCool Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 I don't care how much power it makes, the GM LSPOS is the ugliest goddamned engine ever made! Those COP covers would help a lot. Seriously though, you need to get a patent for that valve cover cap design ASAP before some asshats like SLP see it and steal your design and make millions off it. 2 Quote Link to comment
scooter stuff Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 I am working on a set of coil cover LS valve covers :) Very nice! I can't wait to see the finished product. are you gonna bring the prototype by the shop for a test fit? Quote Link to comment
