Small Turbos

I have heard about a small Device that twirls the air...lets more air into the engine! But anyone heard of not actually small turbo's...but just a mini supercharger? driven by the V-belts to just cram the **** into the engine? I dont really know what iam talkin about but anyone heard of those? maybe like 3 lbs of boost? I see your people lookin at this post, come on write something

i dont know how much it would cost. But I heard the N/A engines can take up to 10 pounds of boost....i am going to make some for m car after i get my Ractice Intake...it will pretty much SUCK the air in even more force then what the engine takes it will cram it in there giving a nice 5lbs maybe

i have a question for you can i just put the cone of my intake right on the engine block where there usually would be a hose coming out of the engine i would just mont my cone right there can i do that and just leave the hoses that should be attached to the intake box near the front of the hood untached or would i have to have all those hoses running in the intake box??

yes, you could do that...but on the engine it's pretty frikkkin hot. even if you barely run it (2mins) i wouldn't reccomend it. Just because the front box is further away and grabs cooler air...soo coolerair=more HP, but if you dont care for HP yeah, you could do it!

well i dont see any reason why not

Do you know what hose im talking about?

shitty man, i think you might actually have to keep those wires, i just saw some set ups and they had a few skinny wires...but it's just as easy to keep it extended. So yeah, i think you should keep em, my advice was take that stock air box and set it up on the ground and just do a fat soccer kick....thats what i am going to do to mine! but..yeah keep the wires

There is 1 hose that comes out of the airbox that runs to the airpump. You can get a hose filter for about 3 bucks at your local auto store.
