I was just reading the January Import Tuner mag and noticed the article about the Carbon Creations car?

http://www.importtuner.com/features/...car/index.html

What is the deal with a single turbo upgrade with dual air intakes Is this possible and how much more air could you possibly get from have 2 intakes on a single turbo?

 

those are definately twins

 

Believe none of what you hear
Believe none of what you read on the internet
Believe half of what you see

 

Not just the dual intakes but also a Y-Pipe.

 

the engine bay is all stock with a few exceptions, the IC and a few wiring and hoses and junk. the engine is stock even stock twins with only intake and exhaust, my gues is that car makes less than 300hp maybe like 290ish

 

I love the 9.5" FRONT wheels, and 8.5" BACK wheels. I'm sure it's a typo, but probably an easy mistake from a writer who probably writes about drag civics all the time.

That looks like one of those "Grant" steering wheels they sell at auto zone.

 

thats in one of my english car mags aswell. im gonna go check it out

 

I guess those are words to live by....

now that I saw the pics in the article I am not impressed by the car anymore although I do like the carbon fiber bodykit even though I wouldn't personnally do it to my car.

 

I remember when I wanted my FD to look like that :S

 

yea its in a max power mag. doesnt say anythin bout single turbo there just all the bolt on. looks like import tuner droped the ball on that article
british car mags are awesome, they show **** and have girls makeout and strip while they wash guys cars. thumbs up 4 that

 

I recall reading about that car about 1 1/2 yrs ago. The article said he 'estimates' ~ 370-380 whp on 18psi with his stock twins (i think it included the intercooler fogger).

At least he's not on here talking about what an authority figure he is....

 

Greddy intakes on stock twins...the car is show, not go.

 

he also estimated a 5 second 0-60 time with all those ponys?????

 

hehehehehe silly rabbit, twins are for kids!!!!!

this thread is cool cause a girl started it. uhu huh i like girls duhhhhh

 

MakoRacing, what's wrong with Greddy intakes?

 

yea...sounds about right =\

thats definintly stock twins there

 

Nothing at all, I was just pointing out that they were greddy intakes, thus it has twins(I just worded what I said very poorly, I was in a rush). In fact Ive had those intakes and liked them very much, basically HKS but half the price

 

I've had them for a while now too. Only problem I've had was when I installed my large SMIC, the wide Airinx filters take some manipulating to fit next to the IC piping. I don't know how anyone could spend $500+ on a HKS Racing Suction Kit. You're half way to a PFC!!

 

Yeah thats a lot for an intake, adam c's airbox mod is probably just as good if not better(for a stock setup)

 

I have the same car in a Greek mag, and it clearly states that they are twins and est. power in the 300ps range

 

300ps = about 290 hp...

"my gues is that car makes less than 300hp maybe like 290ish"

I'd say spot on !

 

yea not to mention its fawkin ugly.

 

"british car mags are awesome, they show **** and have girls makeout and strip while they wash guys cars. thumbs up 4 that"

yeah, all class. Gotta love a magazine that goes to cruises and shows, takes pics of the 'saucy' girls, then asks a standard set of questions that includes things such as 'pink or brown?' (ie; where do you prefer it?)
