surbo ? Useless ?

[Polytron2]

Yup, nothing wrong if wanna go for dyno

For me it's good when each of the sellers is promoting their products only bcoz they really know about product they are selling to and mostly can provide after sale service.

 

[DanzEterna]

if dyno before & after, i guess it would be more expensive than installing surbo.

 

[DJgErM]

haha...surbo...reminds me of the years of noobie-ness..haha...i came from there...but still a noob la..

just wonder why they wanna name it surbo...haha...relating itself to turbo but not even close to a force induction..

it only creates swirl effect to increase air intake velocity...

a/f ratio untouched...increased air flow without management....

all in all...horsies dont come cheap

I dont think power can be attained easily in a cheap way.
Think of it, there are too many cheap stuff that sellers say that can improve hp.
Dont u guys think that each of the sellers is promoting their products only?
Surbo or mini turbo, electric charger, mini compressor...
I think all of them are playing with your vacuum settings and not increasing any power.
Maybe it provides less fuel consumption.
Why dont u guys go dyno ur car before and after the installation of Surbo.
Its not wrong to give it a try.

Juz my humble opinion:hmmmm:

i think dyno wise, number will not make much diff....at most its the moisture and weather that makes more significant difference then the surbo...:hmmmm:

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

no lah..the surbo only efek when one release the throttle shut and suddenly open throttle back again.....its also related to some air velocity.....

surely no gain show on dyno i gerenti....in fact might lower the result due to intake restriction....to get real power gain cheaper than buying this surbo...well move on and read this >> http://autospeed.com/cms/A_109217/article.html

maybe its just to test whether its provide benefits like advertised or not.

yeah, its true. maybe this is a better way of saving money stuff.

 

[ashyu90]

dont waste ur money...go through to ecu (piggyback / standalone)...

 

[devilish306666]

That will be a better idea but that will costs much better too...

 

[ashyu90]

hahaha...more money..more power bro....huhuhu

 

[DanzEterna]

bro, piggyback rm1k, standalone ecu Rm3k ++
surbo rm170.

which 1 would u go for if u driving wira 1.3? with low budget?

If I was on a low budget, it makes it all the more important for me to be prudently selective with my money and to spend my limited resources only on proven products.

If this is proven, why is it not universally endorsed by the industry ?

The strange logic here is that a stock car is somehow made superior by sticking in a 'miracle gadget'.....the idea being that something installed is better than nothing installed. Strange also that a low budget is used as an excuse to choose this product rather than patiently saving up for better and proven products.

Agree! If the is miracle gadget make the big different in power then I think Turbo face out long time already. Just bear in mind want to make turbo car faster is hard if NA faster is even harder. Good example is V-Tech

Low budget use a beer can and DIY your own surbo. This thing is so cheap to make you wouldn't believe how much $$$ they make by selling to you at 170.

 

[Ratbit]

:hmmmm:...why surbo / subur ..sounds like a fertilizer brand to me...

Maybe Danz's cousin is not into that car crazy to buy something that is more than 1k juz to increase the power. Or maybe he's just searching for a lil more power to climb the hill or whatsoever.
Why dont we suggest a better piping flow for him? just my 2 cents

I don't know Danz's cousin or exactly how keen he is with cars.

All I know is, personally I will not put any gimicky gadget, no matter how cheap, into my car on the blind faith of dubious promises of performance. There are too many unknowns with this thing in terms of what it will do to your vehicle, both good or bad. Sales talk is sales talk. I have heard a lot of them, from people peddling magical snake oil to dragon's teeth.

Call me conservative or prudish, but I like my car, and I won't feed it with stuff that don't already have a ready endorsement from the industry and community.

But hey...it's his money and his car. He risk what he wants.
