All I've got to say is WOW!!!!! :eek:

What are the pipes running arround the car? Is it cooling or is it just tubing for the lights?

[awnelson]

EVERYONE COVER YOUR EARS!!! Here goes the debate on superchargers working or not and now we will add intercoolers to the discussion. Great.

Can you guys see the title (ALL FOR LOOKS)

[hijacker]

Looks impressive, but I don't see how running the air through the filter on the front of the chassis will help anymore than a conventional air filter.

Umm.. I am just hinting here..and I dotn want to start some big argument, but dosnt allowing more air into the engine alow for more power? I dont know if this system dose it, but dosnt it?

[roadrunnerdude]

well those supercharger force air in when the intake port is open while that is open so is the exaust port.. so basically your forcing air fuel mixture out of the exaust. wasting fuel so on and so forth..

[Shazz1234]

Wouldn't forcing the air-fuel mix out the exhaust be a bad thing, ie less air/fuel mix in the engine where it matters? (I know nothing about the supercharger thing BTW).

This also sounds like a touchy subject so I don't expect miracles here...

[new-guy]

If the intercooler actually worked, then it would be useful... Having cold air is always good. It means you will have more oxygen molecules in your air/fuel mixture.

On this car lets assume it is just an airfilter. This configuration would work well for scavenging fresh air. Probably not much more.

If you are using a tuned pipe, then you wont be worrying too much about pushing out fresh fuel out the exhaust. The tuned pipe will take care of pushing this back in before the ports close.

There is a neat little article in either the November or December issue of RCCA magazine about tuned pipes and how they work.
