Guest Geneb Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Hey guys today i was bored so decided to fit my apexi induction kit, took the car for a drive and TBH there was only a tiny bit of difference. heres the pics anyway i decided to have a look at this supergas turbo i have fitted , first thing i noticed was there was no power to it so i replaced the fuse and that sorted that. took it for a spin still no difference, so i started routing around behind the stereo where there is a second gas turbo box which was lit up, anyway i found a cable with the control knob on it and turned it fully clockwise. took my car out and FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK!!!! MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! it was like driving a different beast shit loads quicker and more responsive! i had that much fun i finished work early and drove around all afternoon. i've no idea what this thing really is but heres some pics of the unit and im happy as a pig in shit:d there is some cabling going from it down the back of the engine also there is something fitted between my throttle body and intake manifold that is no on anyone elses supra?

Super Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I swear I've seen that unit before and thought it was a fuel economy device. No idea how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 More importantly what's it done to your AFRs and why did the previous owner disable it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Erm so what is it and how does it work? Im VERY sceptical of any plug in device making huge differences to N/A engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Yeah, what is it and where can I get one?? H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Chances are (if I'm right in thinking it is the fuel economy device) you have been running on less power than a standard NA all this time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geneb Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 LOL duuno about that as it was just as quick as CJ's black N/a and seemed quicker than viper robs N/A before i even touched any thing. dont thing its just a plug in gimmick as its wired into everything including fuel pump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I could be completely wrong (usually am). But I am 100% sure I've seen that unit discussed on this forum previously. However just having clicked on the 1st two pics being as clever as I am, you certainly wouldnt have been running less power than a standard NA lol. I'm going to keep shut until I or someone else finds out more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 are you sure its not a electric turbo kit. I know a guy with a golf R34 that has one, and he swears by it. Looks just like that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
