nobody has done a side mount system yet. Maybe you could replace a door mirror with one and show us?

Or, how about a hood mount one!

Hell why stop with one mirror?

We could put one on each mirror, front and rear. Then we can aim them in opposite drriections and just spin the car around town like Gamera!

At launch


Once fully spooled you could do this!

I think we need a roof mount, It could just use the passing air to blow threw the exhaust housing to spin the turbo.

Like ScramJet or Ramjet technology? LOL

Ramjet: A ramjet has no moving parts and achieves compression of intake air by the forward speed of the air vehicle. Air entering the intake of a supersonic aircraft is slowed by aerodynamic diffusion created by the inlet and diffuser to velocities comparable to those in a turbojet augmentor. The expansion of hot gases after fuel injection and combustion accelerates the exhaust air to a velocity higher than that at the inlet and creates positive push.

Scramjet: Scramjet is an acronym for Supersonic Combustion Ramjet. The scramjet differs from the ramjet in that combustion takes place at supersonic air velocities through the engine. It is mechanically simple, but vastly more complex aerodynamically than a jet engine. Hydrogen is normally the fuel used.

I'm just curious because if we impliment something like this I need to figure out if Chevron sells Hydrogen or not.

That center console kit won't work. The A/C will blow on it and reduce the heat produced by the seat warmers thereby reducing the overall efficiency of the kit. THere's no way that kit would make good power!

I didn't think of it that way. It'll probably produce dyno curves like a Supra too. I would also be worried about sucking up spilled coffee durring a hectic morning commute or really rough roads. Crappy design IMO.

LMAO!!

I bet if they put a Center consol kit together for a truck there would be a ton of track times. F-body guys are lame ducks when it comes to track testing turbos.

Come on! This kit will be better then any front mount kit ever. Maybe you could route it through your air conditioning duct for an intercooler effect

I think it would be too easy to steal!! I mean, all you'd have to do is walk up and pull that turbo out of the console or slide it right off that pipe!!

I think if they came with VTEC then your building a race car more then street. They should offer a street trim and a race trim. Maybe the race trim could have the VTEC w/ Type R sticker package?
