• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

CAI Myths Busted

but it limits max boost, that's the point. you can just run a dumb pulley and dial it in to whatever you want.

Except that the faster you spin the blower, the more heat it creates, and the more power it uses.

You'll make more power on 10psi with a 3.4 pulley, than 10psi with a 2.8 pulley.

if it fails the BBV should open, limiting boost to the max 4-6 psi or so like usual.

Make Subaru noises, instead.

You'd be beating a dead horse on the limiting factor when it becomes an even more inefficient setup.

Like I said...then it fails...then you've got a header/tune car with a 2.8"...

That'd end well.

understandable, but for someone who can apply that much boost effectively then it could have it's perks to be able to turn it down every so often.
 




Me either, guyguy.

But I agree, I'd rather press a MPS hub on and take the 5~ minutes to swap a pulley.

Lazy Subaru people :)
 


Sorry dude but I had a 1995 Blazer with the 4.3, I liked it but never got better than 18 MPG. You would have to have a HUGE wind sail on that bad boy to get anywhere near 30 plus rolling down hill.

My mother had a 96/97 model and it got a best of 24 straight highway, so ya. I second the HUGE wind sail theory.
