Aerocharger....anybody ever use one?
 

I was just looking at www.aerocharger.com and their turbos look pretty sweet. No oil lines, all self-lubed, and ball bearings. Has anybody ever use one or know of any prices on these? Thanks in advance. :)

cokry bell hypes those things up alot in his book maximum boost.

i would love to see one on a honda, i dont think anyone has put one on.

Re:Aerocharger....anybody ever use one?
 

there are a couple on ebay right now. they looked kinda small though...

Re:Aerocharger....anybody ever use one?
 

Check out www.drturbo.com they have a Honda Civic kit that put down 210hp. :)

Re:Aerocharger....anybody ever use one?
 

that DR.Turbo kit looks intriguing. too bad they dont have pricing anywhere on their site.

Re:Aerocharger....anybody ever use one?
 

What the heck does that thing run off of? Exhaust...no. Belt...no. Electric...not likely. Where does it get it's power from? Am I totally missing something?

Re:Aerocharger....anybody ever use one?
 

those turbos are just turbos... sweet thing is they don't need oil lines... they are totaly self contained... makes it so you can low mount the turbo w/ out figuring out an oil drain system/sump

bet they cost a good bit of $$$ though... i'll stick w/ my junkyard turbos thank you

On that Civic kit that you see they looped the factory exhaust back around and up into the turbo again. Kinda wierd if you ask me. I love those turbos though. And they are not really regular turbos. They are Variable Geometry turbos so they spool quick and provide good flow throughout.

210whp.. nice

I'd like to see the manifold on that one, I like the fact you can mount the turbos up and down.

I know they kick ass I tell ya!! I might try to get one of the ones on Ebay. Then I would mount it with the compressor inlet pointing straight out of my hood. ;D

and look, he still has A/C!!!!!

Re:Aerocharger....anybody ever use one?
 

how come they call it an SI when thats a SOHC?
cool looking, the way its perpendicularly mounted

Re:Aerocharger....anybody ever use one?
 

Aerocharger seems to be the next big thing, all the MB diesels that are kicking ass with power and emissions are using something like an aerocharger but with the variable A/R controlled by a solenoid. They don't list the peak power or torque at one RPM, they list the RPM range at which the motor puts out that amount of power. Very long, flat graph.

Re:Aerocharger....anybody ever use one?
 

the only country that calls the DOHC VTEC of 99-00 the Si is the states, everywhere else calls them either SiR or something similar.
the USDM EX is commonly referred to as the Si, most commonly in canada.

Re:Aerocharger....anybody ever use one?
 

yup

99-00 US EX = Canada Si
99-00 US Si = Canada SiR

veddy interesting.. it does look like something geared for oem. that aerogear map looks like it would suit b18a's very well.

Re:Aerocharger....anybody ever use one?
 

I want one... maybe sell the car and put it on my tricycle... that ---- is tyte

Re:Aerocharger....anybody ever use one?
 

thats right... forgot about that, the vains turbo's are neat... although i seem to recall reading that they are a poor choice of turbo if your a drag racer... gota look though my old issues of SCC...

anyone see that double compressor turbo in last months SCC? that was sweet :)

on a side note, i was watching the history chanel or was it discovery? either way it was talking about magnets and the use of them as berrings... because they never have contact with the other surface they never ware out (short of the magnet becoming de-magnitized) although not likely an option w/ something so small as a turbo berring it sure would be neat... no friction to worry about which would mean no heat.

hmmm...i'll go check out doctor turbo sometime this week...i live about 20-30 minutes away (i'm in toronto ontario) so i'll get u guys some prices.

Re:Aerocharger....anybody ever use one?
 

thats a good idea, and they do have pretty small, powerful magnets nowadays
