  1. For the tyre to be level with the guards, it will depend on what size wheel, and profile your wheels are, how much drop you want, etc. For best solutions, you can't go past Adjustable struts with lowering Springs, or perhaps even coilovers (coilovers are the best, not being bi est or anything) :P
  2. 16x9 +15 offset with 195/50/R16 tyres Evo
  3. CUBAI has 16x9 with +15 offset... Not +0. Custom guard pumping had to be made to fit the massive rims.
  4. Incorrect. Superchargers are belt driven and don't rely on vacuum. Turbochargers require positive air pressure from the exhaust gasses to be driven.... so they aren't powered by vacuum either. It is true that the OBD-II standard is for obtaining readings, but it's also common for manufacturers to utilise this interface to connect to the ECU and make changes to their internal parameters. Take the Toyota Intelligent Tester II. This interfaces via the OBD-II port and can modify parameters within the ECU. Those previous two linked devices weren't from eBay so you make the call. Despite superchargers are belt-driven, they still require vacuum for the bypass valves built/ added to them, for when vacuum drops to 0, that's when they are pressurizing the air by 'compressing' it, thus making boost. (Also known as positive pressure). Its not in the Aurion FAQ about these 'items' you are thinking of getting, but have a look at the ZZE FAQ, its clearly marked in there, or better yet search for threads about this. Evo
  5. proper superchargers and turbochargers are powered by vacuum, not electronics :S And 'real' ECUs tap into wiring harnesses, OBD2 is ONLY for readings, can't tune through it. Ebay gimmicks will always be that... GIMMICKs. Use common sense, if its too good to be true, it usually is. Evo

    Went shopping at the wreckers on the weekend and picked up a set of front Power Windows for $70. Includes motors, switches and looms. Also, I see no one realised I have new wheels, they are Rota D2 in 16". Got sick of paying heaps for 17s. And its truely amazing how far I have come from the original charger to today... From 78kw atw to a massive 115atw! ;) Evo
  7. Tidy Sportivo mate, seen your car a few times when I have been out with CUBAI. Keen to meet up next time there is something on?
  8. $200 for a box that doesn't work, or 200 for a Air Intake guaranteed to work and make a difference. I know what I would want...
  9. no, upon closer inspection, example pic is honda... google Scion XB s/c
  10. Hey mate, Think of it this way: THe engine bay shown above (ideas pic) is a LHD (left-hand drive) car. which means the side where the pulleys are on the opposite side to ours (Jap-built). For your application, you would need to have the rotrex the other way around. Custom mounting points for it, and correctly sized belt, and you would be good to go. If there is more you want to know, Flick me a PM.
