Do it.
You would get on well with 'Mr Broadsider' with his bling and boost gauge on his N/A

heh oh well.... i was warned formally about posting on any forum, guess now i know why.

my mods to the 924 are mine, and they do work regardless of how anyone views them or what they think about it, like a actual coupler that isnt the audi throttlebody oval that repeats itself down the intake boot (check it sometime) and yes even my coloured SILICON hoses *gasp!!* my bling bling as you call my *AN 10* lines and heat sheilded cracked ugly ass fuel lines *tinfoil* dare i try and use something other than cloth braided shitlines? may god strike me dead.

i was trying to help out others here but i understand that this is your world and as such someone like me who thinks too far outside of the box would not be able to coexist with the rest. i wish you all the best of luck.

and for the record this goes without saying, do not attempt any of my mods. which i know no one will, but i enjoy being the only 924 on the planet with them

enjoy your car as you see fit...just dont expect people to agree with you especially if you know that you think "out of the box"

In any case dont underestimate us...there are lots of out of the box thinkers here who have done more than you would ever imagine on the 924.

Our method of aproach is way different than strapping tinfoil and cheap parts..why you might ask? well many reasons...some of us are really racing and expect longevity aswell as high performance, some of us are grand tourers and expect mileage and reliability...some are porsche purrists (924 level purrists) and the list goes on.
you will find this board as a grown up unit of people...thats why some of us reacted this way to your..thinking.

if you are into performance modding your 924 may i suggest you start by cleaning up your engine bay(perhaps re-thinking that heat protection system) and going for a full cyl head job and a bushings and suspension upgrade.
i'm quite sure that if you do this your car will feel much more together and the engine will produce a bit more power.

oh and for the record

most of us have heavly modded 924s.

i figured that. sorry im gonna stick to what i know best. i was trying to avoid head work on this car of any kind to get power, the 924 was fun for awhile and cool as a first car but i guess but its time to move on, i got a 3.2 ported supra turbo thats been sitting for too long now. the 924 just isnt worth what you put in compared to what you get out of it to me. im no purist, lest of all with a porsche of any kind, i view it more of a audi or a vw. but im not gonna b on here anymore after this, i realize now these 2 cars dont really hold any intrest to me anymore. thank you for helping me realize this and finaly be able to let go of them, if anything it was worth that in itself.

Hey Slade, welcome to the forum, stick around man, this place is always in need of different ideas.
Even if you get blasted for something, there might be someone out there that can benefit or improve on an idea.
There is a wealth of info here on things that will work and will not work. It seems everything has been tried.

There are plenty who want better performance without spending a boat-load of money.
The things these people have done to their cars is inspiring, if only money were no obstacle

.
I'm working on a Top 10 list of mods from here to do to my car,.... then getting a second job

.

I also believe these cars are more valuable in their uniqueness than other cars. I mean, how many others do you see on the road?
Sure we have to live with the 'that's not a real Porsche" crowd, it only makes the bond stronger.

It has become my duty to keep this car alive, just to see the look on their face as I go zooming by

.

for better results use a large bilge pump blower, these can move more air and create lots more pressure than the design your using.

What he said. As above - it's your car - I EFI'd an N/A for goodness sake.

ha ha, well of course not if you buy the cheapest one you could find.
I did say a large bilge blower.
http://www.outdoorsuperstore.com/product.asp?prod=258926
a quick search, there are even bigger ones.

These can help reduce the vacuum or build a tiny amount of pressure and produce a small amount of power if the fueling can adapt.

I personally think the gain is not worth the cost and would never use one, but to say they dont work without any first hand knowledge isnt right. i would guess the air flow isnt enough and the only gain is to be had at just off throttle where you dont drive anyway.

good for slade, he tried something new and unproven.

Edit: oh and his test was flawed, the bilge blower design needs some back pressure to work properly. he could have quadrupled the cfm by blocking 3/4 of the outlet on that blower. when you take a blower like that and start blocking the outlet you can hear the motor ramp up and feel more air coming out.

Whilst I hear and accept all that has been said about the eram I must admit to a hankering to see what if anything it might do to a roots supercharged car feeding the blower. The roots is sensistive to good air flow into it and so I wondered if it might help that by feeding the blower.

It would not be a closed system hence no pressure just flow. To be sure it did not restrict the flow at full chat it would be in a second leg with its own intake/air filter but pointed at the blower inlet.

Just a thought.

Cheers
