Well, we have done it!! We took the Nissan Altima with a stock 2.4 4-cyl to South Florida Performance yesterday and ran it at 8 psi with the ESC-400DR (drag race version). Original stock hp was 105 when we tested it a month ago, and we added a header and exhaust giving 115 wheel hp this time...

You are absolutely correct in describing the restriction most small fans pose to the engine. The ones that flow 800-900 CFM and draw 50 amps dont restrict flow, but at best make 1/2 psi--hardly worth the $300 pricetag ($60 to $150 per hp gain) at least in my opinion. Of course the same thing...

Yes, that is one dirty motor. It has been welded on, been in and outdoors for eight years, and been the dummy I have used for different designs since 1995. I have over twenty different engines I use for prototypes. It was a 1992 MX3 1.8 from a submarine special. Goobers are all over the floor...

As I stated in several posts, I stopped producing turbo kits in 2000. I sent the person who posted these pics some of the PGT turbo pics, but his email was limited in size so I will send the turbo kit pics again. I run my shop by myself with occasional help. I have not done ANYTHING but mail...

Good question, and one that if you really look at the answer you will know to be true--but physics would be helpful in proving it. A turbo operates by taking all the exhaust gasses that normally exit the engine and they spin and turbine that in turn spins a compressor. In theory that would be...

Go to my old website and see the first PGT kit ever made with the turbo over the trans, and then see the twin turbo version and the prototype with the turbo on the front of the engine. The prototype was Mig welded, and the production models were Tig welded. Just remember that PT had a LOT of...

I havent made or offered a kit for the Protoge--I never have. I sold the last of my 4-cylinder 2.0 FS MX6-Probe Eaton supercharger kits to someone with a Protoge 1.8 FD, and that was the only one sold that went on a Protoge BTW, while you are talking to Corky, tell him I said hello. As for...

ATSTurbo was changed to TKTurbo in 1997. My site Thomas KnightTurbos.com and Boosthead.com were both registered in 1996. Boosthead is easier to remember (boost from SC or turbo, and head from gearhead--guys who worked on cars at shops, etc) If and when you hear anything about me--just think...

TKTurbo dropped all turbo kits in favor of Eaton supercharger kits. Turbos have a high failure rate--no matter what someone tells you, it is 16% fail in 24 months of NORMAL use. Racing almost doubles that to 28-30% failure in two years or less. That is Gredd*, Turbo**tics, etc etc etc. Eaton...

I have a counter on my site that points to where people come from. I like to visit and see what they have to say. Most are nice and have educated people giving arguments on one side or the other about whether the ESC can work or not. However on some, there are those who choose to bring up...

Well, it seems the losers are out again--even on this forum. Just so you genius' can get it right--again--the link to one probe kit is from 1994, and it was a USED kit the guy bought from someone else!!! Does it EVER occur to you that people sell kits with other company names on them??? I built...

The ESC runs on a completely seperate electrical system. I try to point out that the car's original battery serves only to start the car and the alternator takes over and powers any cars accessories and needs while recharging the battery to a full state of charge. The ESC operates in a similar...

TKTurbo here (BOOSTHEAD.COM) I have seen you discussing my supercharger and wanted to at least clear some thnings up. Some of you may not 'believe' in anything, but in my case I believe that God is the ONLY real thing that counts and should be given credit for ALL I do. I am not ashamed of...

Yes, TKTurbos (Thomas Knight Turbos) I will explain why this system will not work on a road race car for another few years. The draw of 1200 amps cant be done at the same time as the alternator is running. If one or two large alternators were added to turn the ESC the efficiency of...

Fair enough--I dont recall you being critical of my company anyway. I will answer any questions you may have as they are practical questions and do not insults my company. I do get irritated when someone who likely has never owned anything I made, has likely never seen anything I have done, and...

This is Geoff Knight (Boosthead.com) the designer and inventor of the ESC-400. I saw several of you had visited my site and wanted to see what you were discussing. I will be happy to give any answers I can and am happy to accept any educated critisizm from anyone with REAL questions, instead of...
