Iv just been to the big boys toys expo in Auckland, and i came across an interesting system, id be keen to know what you think about it.
The thing is an adaptor that fits onto the Airflow sensor, and sits inside your pod. It has a really powerful 12volt fan thing inside it which you connect to the throttle so it kicks in like a turbo. The guy reckons its good for around 1 - 1.5 bar of pressure /Steeringw . He turned it on and the pod can hover by itself if you steady it, so i kinda believed him.
The question i have, is, :drummer: basically is it a load of crap??? i asked him if it would destroy my engine, cause i assumed it would lean out the mixture and stuff it all. But the salesman said that because it fits infront of the Air Flow sensor, the computer just adjusts to dump in more petrol (would an STR computer do this like a VR4?).
Iv got an STR at the moment, so i don't know too much about forcing air into the 6a13, but its the same motor as far as i can see. It even has plugs where the turbos connect on the VR4, so if you are all running similar boost would the engine take it?
Am i missing anything? it seemed like a decent enough idea, but would the engine hold up? is it any different from increasing airflow though other means (big exhaust etc)?
Any help or advice would be much appreciated, cause it seems like it might be a good application for an STR, and it doesn't take up any extra engine bay room.
Cheers.
