I think I have the 919

I just purchased a DVD system, with Color 6.5 screen. I wanted to use the current system in the MP3 to run the sound. I know that the head unit has 3 set of unused rca jacks on the back, but I wanted to use the entire system to handle the sound, not just a front channel or rear. Does anyone...

The article states 5 mph roll is 1000 rpm, so I was off, but I was only guessing. I have a MP3 and I can rev and dump and spin first till no tommorrow, and have to let off the gas to get the car to move forward. So I assure you, the car will sit and spin and lose the race. Maybe this car...

600 to 700 rpm @ 5mph are you nuts. Cars idle at 750 to 850 rpm. @ 5 mph you would be doing at least 1500- 1800 rpm and instantly hit 2500 as soon as you floor it. Torque is what gets you moving not HP. You rev your car up to 4000 rpm and dump it and you sit and spin. The 2.0 turbo engine...

I wasn't dissin the MPS. I love the car. I love everything about the car. What I am mad about is the BS article that says the car is that slow. I have a turbo car, and it is at least 2 full seconds faster from a 5 mph roll to 60 compared to a standing start to 60 mph. That was what I had a...

Sure it can, Haven't you ever heard of a VNT? Variable Nozzle Turbine? It boosts instantly.

I understand what you are saying, but the turbo is already spooled up and should be very close to full psi. I just don't see why its a full second slower. I would assume you would lose more than a second sitting still spinning the tires. Another thing is I read on an interview with...

Has no one noticed a problem with the numbers? Posted 0-60 MPH 6.9 seconds Street Start 5-60 mph 8.0 Now think about it, they must be smokin crack. Its already rolling, so wheel spin is less and its already going 5 mph and its a full second slower. WTF is going on here!!!!!! I think the...

You can't use a K&N fliter, I tried that, the heat shield doesn't fit completely over the filter and doesn't seal up air tight. The dragon filter, has a treaded hole in the center/top of the fliter, which you tread a bolt through the heat shield right into the top of the filter, and you also...

Here is a quick side view I drew. The blue is the out line of the car. Sorry its so sloppy.

I assume it was positive, being it blew the piping apart and not collasped it.

It is mounted almost dead center, about 3 inches back from the forward most edge of the front lip. It also hangs down about 1/2" and then the actual scoop is right around 2 inchs. I know this setup works, because I didn't have the clamps on tight enough and it blew them right off, from the...

Here is a link which shows the heat sheild, it in the far right corner. I ran the tubing from the scoop up through the scoop that is right in front of the transmission, in the splash pan of the car. http://www.weapon-r.com/ramair.html I will try to get some picts up. This setup would be...

nope, the ram air, its a scoop with piping that connects to the heat shield and creates a air tight seal around the Dragon filter. Once you start moving it also creates pressure and free power. http://www.weapon-r.com/main2.html
