Another scam product hitting the rounds.

One of the young folk at work came across this and asked my thoughts

http://www.imperialconcept.com
The URL doesn't give enough information as to what it does or how it does it. I have nothing but doubts and wouldn't buy one in a fit. I'm sure it just leans out the engine until it explodes.

---oOo---

A lean mix will give more power but will also run hotter, burn the valves and cause a premature end to your engine.

I'm a V8 fanatic myself... seeing this sort of thing makes me want to cry.

Rupewrecht · 14-08-2006, 02:29 PM

LMAO they've ripped off the Blitz BOV design for that?!?

Tom · 14-08-2006, 04:58 PM

i soooo dont get it

Cosmo Dude · 14-08-2006, 05:38 PM

Yeah, my bad I ment the super air charger.
Like der, it uses nano technology :lol:

--oOo--

I think it uses vacuum to open an air valve between the AFM and the throttle body. This would let more air in and run the engine lean. A lean mix will give more power but will also run hotter, burn the valves and cause a premature end to your engine.

IE it's a scam

project.r.racing · 14-08-2006, 06:35 PM

it would also allow dust/dirt into your engine also as behind AFM. unless it has it's own filter.

Cleaner Emission 15-65%, what absoltue crap,

I think this is another form of hairdryer style super charger,

and who wants something thats not a BOV to look like a BOV???? whats the idea behind that? so cops can defect you for something you dont actually have,

They go to a lot of detail on the irrelevant don't they, I mean a full description of Nano technology but nothing to say how this actual device works.

Group Buy????? I can not help it just sounds so wonderfully technical.
