A long time ago someone on here posted a link to a Corvette forum where some guy had decided to whip up the horses on his vette by connecting his down pipes to his intake manifold...... it was hilarious.... can anyone find this and repost it!!!

I found his original post on the internet but only the first post (below). The original thread can't be accessed on the Corvette forum anymore. This guy's "Direct exhaust injection" theory is just as funny as the infamous Copex and Audi Sandblaster threads :-)
--------------------------------------------------------
First off, Jay, stay out of this.

Ok. I didn't want to mention it but I was thinking about turbo charging my Vette. I got to thinking about it and how in efficient even turbos are (compressor efficiencies of about 80% at best).

Since a turbo's function is to pressurize incoming air and force it into the upper motor, and turbos are driven by high pressure exhaust gas created from the combustion process, couldn't I just bypass the turbo altogether and route my headers back into the throttle bodies?

Since I have CFI, I could balance the DEI (direct exhaust injection as I just coined it) by feeding one header into each throttle body. Yes, the charge air wouldn’t be that cold, but it would be under a hell of a lot more pressure.

I attached a quick sketch below:



There are still a few things I need to work out:
1) How do I get the CFI aircleaner to fit in a way that hides this plumbing?
2) Does anyone make a V-band clamp that will bolt an exhaust header to a CFI throttle body?
3) What pinion angle should I use in my rear-end? I’m sure there will be a noticeable difference in torque output.

What do you guys think?

Ahh, I remember it. The guy who to re-invented EGR for "performance".

 

wow, those threads are great. I love the DEI thread, he really talks in an authoritative manner as if he really has some clue...

 

hehe thats a funny idea, did it occur to him that the gas hes putting in, while under pressure, may lack, you know, oxygen for combustion lol

 

These threads are funny but so obviously fake. Nobody is THAT stupid!
