Dennisk Clutched July 9, 2005 Share July 9, 2005 don't really get it... so if i rev 4k in 3rd gear then depress the clutch or release? the clutch already release how to release again? so when rpm drop to 3k, must clutch release? then need to press acc to redline or hold at 1/2 clutch then it will redline by itself?

Damian Neutral Newbie July 9, 2005 Share July 9, 2005 did u check your fuel consumption after installing? like tat always red line...seems siong sia....tats why don dare always rev until so high... but heng claims better fc leh... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennisk Clutched July 9, 2005 Share July 9, 2005 Yeah lor esp when you exceed 3K ...from 4 to 7 like in a breeze ... I discover that instead of acc from 1K to 2.5K hold then 1/2 throt ...i usually go to 4k at 3rd gear then release clutch 4-3K at 3K i 1/2 throt ....it's like all the way man! shiok what you mean by "then release clutch 4-3K at 3K i 1/2 throt"?

Zrun Neutral Newbie July 10, 2005 Share July 10, 2005 (edited) It says it is a kind of light turbo but it looks like any filters Yes, it is what it says. But there's absolutely no way that this thing can cause any kind of "turbo" action. Basically, their website is untruthful in this aspect and does not offer any other viable explanation. I don't think it will work, other than restricting intake air "may" lead to improved low end, definitely worse high end performance. A "possible" explanation is that it causes restriction near the mass air flow sensor, causing air to speed up as it passes through the restriction, and increases the mass air flow signal, causing the computer to read adnormally high air flow. The computer will eventually adapt to this, but essentially changes the response of the engine. Edited July 10, 2005 by Zrun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorrliew Neutral Newbie July 11, 2005 Share July 11, 2005 I think you are quite right, although I'm not sure the real cause is the restriction of air and/or the vortex & compressed air (as claimed in Surbo's specification); it is to 'trick' the engine that you're flooring and thus changes the response of the engine. In reality you're just stepping the accelerator a little more, it provides the feel similar to a Light Pressure Turbo Car (which kicks in as low as ~2200rpm)to surge forward for increase in speed or for overtaking.

Imuya Clutched July 11, 2005 Share July 11, 2005 you may be right.. but then again the installation of the surbo varies. Sometimes it's before the air filter, sometimes it's after. Surbo works for me when i had my stock air filter box. Open pod like no diff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin 4th Gear July 11, 2005 Share July 11, 2005 yah... but...

Lorrliew Neutral Newbie July 11, 2005 Share July 11, 2005 Mine is Auto too, installed after stock filter box, just before air line entering throttle, work fine so far! I'm very happy with the improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorrliew Neutral Newbie July 11, 2005 Share July 11, 2005 I'm quite new to these mods things, but it seems to me that all these gadgets have differing results on different car. And as read in MCF, same goes to many of the other gadgets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin 4th Gear July 11, 2005 Share July 11, 2005 thats why we refrain from "promoting" a certain gadget simply due to this. even for similar models like eg a mazda 323, we still cannot be sure if the end effect can be reproduced on another 323! sometimes the "improvement" can also just be in the owners mind lor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennisk Clutched July 11, 2005 Share July 11, 2005 surbo actually lighten my right foot pedal quite a lot...can feel....and also reving is better than last time... i think surbo works more on manual... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality you're just stepping the accelerator a little more, it provides the feel similar to a Light Pressure Turbo Car (which kicks in as low as ~2200rpm)to surge forward for increase in speed or for overtaking. It is technically impossible for the engine to "think" you are flooring when you are not, because the car depends on a set of sensors, and nothing is changed here, other than a restriction in the intake pipe. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
