Has Anyone Seen this?

Just wandering what exactly this is and how it works Turbo Would it just replace the stock intake? It looks weird, kind of confusing.

it really won't help you one bit, those things are a scam! They really begin to block air flow becuase they don't "compress" air they only push it forward. Save your money and get a CAI if you want to improve the airflow going into your car. At certain speeds that fan just won't spin fast enough to help any.

Sorry for the stupid question, what does CAI stand for?
Nevermind, I wasn't thinking. You mean a cold air intake, right? How much will that boost the performance on a non-turbo angine? And how do they get the cold air, does it actually cool the air, or get the air from outside the car?

The CAI just "scoops" the air from underneath ur car, its alot cooler there then in ur engine bay!

Do they make a true CAI for a 1g?

that is some nice turbo there install it and I bet u ll push 20 punds of boost with no problem u ll also need a blow off valve and turbotimer to cool it off.Bosst controler is also need so u can control the boost level in case it ismore then u can hendle.

so you get a $5 fan and 5 cent resistor. Damn, the people that are stupid enough to buy this crap really deserve to lose their money . I really like this line too:

"This lightweight high powered super charger is an inline Turbo" So is it a turbo or a supercharger ...how bout neither!

Trust me, and coming from a mechanical & aerospace engineer, all these (there are others like it too) are scams and will NOT DO ANY GOOD! Just make your car slower if anything, you go a little faster though because your pocket is lighter!

you would get more of a gain by taking your spare tire out ha...

Its basically JUNK.
J.U.N.K :thumbdown


CAI = Cold Air Intake (best of my knowledge)
CAI = Cold Air Induction also I guess... *shrugs* (never thought this)

Has anyones had the 1G Injen intake? I've heard it messes up the idle and what not. Anyone know if it's true? It's awfully expensive, I could probably build a custom intake for aLOT less.

about the "turbo" if you want the same effect just get a big cork and put it in your intake. about the injen intake, i don't see why anyone would spend 200+ for a polished tube and filter. just get one off of a civic or some other car that looks like it will fit, they're all the same. and it shouldn't screw up the idle unless you have a leak or do something stupid like forget to plug the MAS back in.
