Carbie Car Guys!

Has anyone heard of Madi electric turbo?
Any reports on performance, does it actually work?
Tons of YT vids - theres even a 48v version - none seem to work as expected - well...certainly not as effective as a regular ol' turbo in any case.
Insane pricing on them too, considering
 
Trust me... ed35 with dp, intake and sw is a little rocket. cant wait to mod the s3 as well... but motorplan :(
Same boat although compared to the S3 I am driving a boat.
 
Currently daily a 2013 Nissan NP200 1.6i 8 valve with a pretty monstrous sound system given the size of the cabin (the centre piece of the system being a 12" Rockford Fosgate Punch P3D2 sub which never ceases to bring a smile to my face - thanks @Eurofighter ). Did manifold and exhaust on it as well as some cheapie 40mm drop springs all round. Rides on 15" 8J Equips and stretched 185/65/15 tyres.

Bought a 1973 Datsun 1200 Deluxe as my first project car a few months back.

Picture of that cluster showing 400 000km asseblief. 🙏
A proper kak photo but it is very early lol.
Here you go. Working from home for the last year and we use our Swift for family driving so this poor girl barely gets driven atm.

 
Here's my baby.

Had her for 12 years now.

Megane RS 225 + VAT

Most recent mod is 19T Hybrid turbo.

She's not a straight line racer.. I actively participate in track days (Less so recently) and this car is unreal on a track, especially when she has semi's on.

Any other RS owners?

Nice photo. The sky looks almost as impressive as the car itself.

Im not an RS owner but i do appreciate them!
 
I have an E46 330i Individual with a 5 speed manual. Only mods are ZHP weighted gear knob and catless headers with secondary decat, xpipe with resonator delete and the stock muffler. Sounds intoxicating everytime I go above 3000rpm :smilebounce:

No, I've got the 1200 Deluxe which is a 4 door sedan. Came with a similar carb to the Nissan 1400. I believe a few of the coupe 1200 models came with twin SU carbs which made the little car incredibly quick for the time.

I have a set of twin SUs if you are interested. I know those engines well :)
I was involved with the Buffalo intake etc

Problem is trying to get a manifold that fits :/ I've got a 32/36 that I just need to rebuild. Going to see how it goes with that and then maybe do electronic distribution.

I have the manifold and original air box :)

If you been to Renalult club track days i was the guy in the 4 door megane with imported Milltek exhausts.
If you were at the red star raceway day (renault vs scooby) i was the guy that almost got killed by the dickhead in the grey porsche)
RSTuning software / 19t/ forge hoses, radiator etc

I have had 8 Renault RS's, will post some pics of one of my project cars in a bit

Got it at 120k km about two years ago, paint was fucked, engine was fucked, drivetrain was fucked.
Its on 160k km now.

Since then have rebuilt the entire engine, new clutch, redid gearbox, changed to cup suspension, New milltek exhaust, RSTuning stage 1 software, H&R progressive springs, interior was in great condition the few parts that were fucked i imported new from the UK.

All work either done by me or Paul from RStuning SA

Things left to do are the original OZ rims, get all the dings and scratches fixed and thats about it :)

They are still a minor gimmick, it's just not possible to produce sufficient airflow and pressure from 12 Volts easily. Theoretically with enormous high current motors and gearing it would be possible for small displacement engines but it would be several fold more expensive than existing induction setups.

Very nice e4, bro!

I was very active on the RS Club years ago.. Went by the name JeanRS
I was also actively involved in the Michelin Cup producing all of the videos for the events.

I've had my RST map since 2009 with Paul :)
