Supercharged,Intercooled HPI...HOLY *****!!
As you can see all this work is done on a toyota supra, along with the fake 4 piston brembos i bet you all that tubing just adds weight. In fact i know it does, due to the fact that he has a tube running from the exhuast to the intake means that the blow off is essentially always open, now, this means there will be very little boost pressure to spin the TURBO, this is not a supercharger, couple that with the fact that the turbo unit does not appear to be able to withstand rel turbo rpm's ie well above 75,000rpm, i don;t see any bearings, and if there are soem how are they oiled, and how is that oil cooled? finally add that to about 12" of 1/4" tubing and you now have a huge restriction that just wiped out any power gain.

I just had a crazy idea. You know that when you have a 1:1 car with NOS, when you hit the magic button it goes berzerk.
So what I was thinking. You make a small turbo for your RC car. You dont mess with the exaust and leave it as t is. You make a small system that will spin the turbo using a compressed CO2 thing (like the ones that are used in small guns that fire small lead amunition-I always forget that word)
You put a third channel and activate the magic button like NOS.
The C)2 thing has a LOT of pressure so the turbo should spin really fast. It should give quite a lot of pressure in the combustion chamber and you should see a big increase in power even if it will be a couple of seconds.

who cares if it works or not it look damn sweet and is a fine idea
as is the CO2 turbo idea, and those front discs
Sweet as and very tricky
but fortunately nothing beets cubic inches
thats why Hemi chargers are classic
