DIY Supercharger/CAI mods

[Weirdo_Joe]

Hey! I don't mind ya'll discussing whatever here... Glad you'll still be trolling, Nemasys! You got an end of pipe turbo thing? ... So, I gotta throw these notes in... First off, I did NOT have very high expectations of this setup... it blew MY best expectations away... also, it's not just me... I had a passenger along for a ride yesterday, who's been along for a ride up to right before this mod, and they were impressed with the difference; I took it up to 80 as fast as possible and they were like "HOLY ****" also, I smoked an Acura Integra with a muffler (at least-probably other mods, too) and a bumper sticker that said "You just got smoked" yesterday... this rig has held up since Wednesday (It's Saturday : ) Ok, I'm gonna try to post the pics again...

Hmm... For some reason, it's saying the same thing it did last time... my jpg images are not a valid image file... I am using the same camera, and same computer I have always used... I've tried making the files smaller, using different file reoutes, basic uploader, everything I can think of. Is anybody else able to upload images right now?

Try photobucket

serega I am keeping the aveo for at least 2 more years, just did the timing belt and such so it should be fine for a couple more years, will only have 90k or so when I do trade it in. I do not know what I want though, I probably with get a SLK 350 when the time comes (pre-owned of course). But yeah, photobucket is the best way to host pictures.

We're having issues with the image upload feature right now. We'll let you know when its fixed.

[serega12]

So you parted it out for nothing then... ?

[thehunterooo]

Pretty much, though I still have things like my radio, rims and intake so it is not completely stock. I really thought I could get something else but I just have to wait :/

[Weirdo_Joe]

Oh, ok! Good to know, Daox! Glad it's not me, my computer, etc. I did post 6 pics on photobucket... got brief descriptions of each one... this is my 1st time using photobucket, but try this link to see'em... Not visually impressive, but functionality and testing the concept/design was the goal at this time! Pictures by Weirdo_Joe - Photobucket

The IMG links from Photobucket still work. If you want to post them in the thread. I just did my ultra racing bars on my build thread that way. To bad the garage doesn't support that, I can't update till the uploaded works. Oh well.

Well, the link to all 6 pics will do for now... ordered the adaptor at Autozone yesterday, along with some flexible 3" hose... I'll get some more pics once I get it on; I am going to be playing with this setup a lot, trying to improve upon the already decent... improvement! Took my girlfriend out on the highway where it's 75, most ppl do 85-90... I was impressed at how quickly I could accelerate from say, 70-90mph... I know this rig has helped that a lot; I've had two ppl tell me the difference is "amazing" or at least "very noticeable"! I may try a bigger, more powerful fan, put it in the opposite wheelwell, and drill those holes out... that way, air would flow freely around and into the intake on it's side, and I could scoop air from the other side, blow it through the hose across the front bumper into the end of the filter... it would seem if more air was flowing at, into, or around the filter on that side, the harder it would be for air blown into it to escape out the sides... does that theory seem plausible?
