I bet he has a shit ton of money into it also....whoopdie dooo


EDit: thanks for clearing that up, after looking again i almost wanted to edit my post...pretty dumb haha.
Id say it was probably making a bit more than that. If the motor is built then with out the ITB's It could be making over 250ish. Id like to think it was making 260-270ish with all of it done.

I hope you aren't being serious with the whoopdie doo comment. You being a honda owner should know that 250 all motor is a lot of power.

it's a valid question. you can't tell from the picture what's under the tb's, and there's a pully hanging off the right of it.

it would be a roots blower sucking air from the tb's and blowing air into the head.

i know this wouldn't make any sense at all from a performance standpoint, but looking at the picture and having any general knowledge of how a supercharger works, it's surely possible.

edit: and feel free to argue. i can teach you all about how forced induction can pull instead of push.

I did do a double take because of that pulley.

oh thats great power dont get me wrong, but not enough for me to run my mouth to some vette guys....when that rsx probably has 45k tied into the car if not more including the car.

After crossing the fence and getting a car with "stock" performance, modding the shit out of honda's has lost all appeal to me. For what you get for the price is silly. I just got a underdrive crank pulley for the vette that should add 10-15whp, for $350......if i wanted to add another 10-15whp to my teg.....ha it'd take over a grand(stupid nice hunk of metal ahem known as a header, or hondata+tune).


Got off topic but thats where my mind is now.

ehhhh it really doesnt matter to me, im not gonna argue with him..... the fact that 80% of my job involves using turbo chargers to cool air (yeah instead of condensing) i know my ways around how forced induction works, and what it can/cant do....... while it can be used in roots style under itbs....... I for one would like to see the company making this setup cause it would be rather difficult to design...... Plus there isnt a demand for it
