Hey guys,

Just been roaming and stumbled upon these things call Air intake supercharger boosters. Does anyone know if they actually work or do anything? any feedback would be appreciated.

This link explains what they are meant to do. http://www.performancechiptuning.com/Air+Intake+Supercharger+Booster/2/

Another gizmo I found was a Pivot Mega Raizin battery stabalizer chip. Any word on these and how they perform?

Here is a link to one of these http://www.nengun.com/pivot/mega-raizin

Cheers,

Dallas

oh dear. You are going to get flamed to the shithouse for posting this lol.

But just to clarify, I bought 4. Two for the intake, one before the the electric supercharger, and one after the turbo.

I also installed one before the cat converter, and after the cat converter.

helped get the air in and out efficiently.

I'm now thinking of buying a 5th one and installing it just before my ATMO BOV.

essentially, no. the amount of airflow these things can contribute is F-A, meaning they do.... F-A.

And because they are bullshit and also made from such substance they have been well known to fail and break apart. And seeing as they are upstream of the intake, guess where the bits end up? and guess what they do? they should be renamed a 'rebuild catalyst'.

N think about it, if something like this could actually make a difference the big manufacturers would be doing it.

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
