Oh bollox my boss has just seen it and wants one (or 4) for his Testarossa :rolleyes: :(

celticpilgrim 14 May 2004 12:31 PM

I'd laugh my bollox off it it wasn't so fecking sad!!

fastfrank 14 May 2004 12:34 PM

I wonder what it sounds like if you fit it to a car thats already got a turbo:rolleyes:

gutter-rat 14 May 2004 12:37 PM

A twin turbo?! :D

EddScott 14 May 2004 12:38 PM

Mate did the same thing but put a baked been tin over the end of this wacked out blue ford estate thing he got given to burn round his dads field. He made some well placed holes in the tin and clamped it over the exhaust and it whistled like mad. Sounded as much unlike a turbo as you could get.

This item ranks in the same league as that electric supercharger floating about on Ebay.

Found a new one - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...901848149&rd=1

And the classic - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...901764693&rd=1

Who the hell bid £110 for that :eek:

rob oneill 14 May 2004 12:58 PM

All you need now is one of those elecrtonic speaker dump valve thingys and an utter s**te fake plastic FMIC and your sorted!!!

little_idiot 14 May 2004 01:06 PM

There's a Nova in Eston that should have one, it already has a newshape STI bonnet vent stuck to it :rolleyes:

Artful_Dodger 14 May 2004 02:06 PM

Erm...People driving next to you will be thinking "that turbo must be fooked! Loads of noise and it's accelerating like a 1.1 saxo!....oh! hang on it IS a 1.1 saxo!" LMAO

ian_sadler 14 May 2004 02:48 PM

Havent you ever wondered if this can work? I know that I have. If only Id tried Engineering at uni instead of an easy A & H course.

My CBR600 had ram-air induction and it made quite a difference. I dont know whether a 220cfm pump will increase the airflow of simply restrict it. It might be possible to make an electric pump work but Id have thought that this will make a car run rich. Every bike that runs a ram-air system that Ive seen has a carefully sealed airbox and plenum, a bit like an old 'blow-through' turbo. With this, you might get improved airflow through the meter but this will just bleed away.

Richard Askew 14 May 2004 03:57 PM

Ian - I've spoken to SdB about being an official vendor for these ;) so form an orderley queue and keep your eye on the group buy forum :D :D :D

This is the same device used by big movie companies when they want a normally aspirated car to sound heavily turbo-charged (you really think they are going to spend all that extra time and money turbocharging every car on the set)?!
No, I thought they spent 10 minutes in the editing suite adding sound effects :rolleyes:

BlueBoy 15 May 2004 12:15 PM

Well now we all know better ;):D

It is in fact these marvellous little things (could be a new racket for someone selling cars), put a fake Turbo in the engine (made out of plastic perhaps - he he) and put one of these on the scooby :D:D

I just looked out the window to hear this noise of someone giving it beans down the road and saw a micra with an old guy in pootling along (then about 10 secs later the Saxo came behind him) - I think they'd left the junction at the same time, I'm going to follow him next time and check out if it's one of these :D:D:D
