TSIW!

That shit is wack!

There is no way around paying a fair amount of money for more horsepower. Either you need big displacement, or a small engine with kickass internals and some good power adders. (turbo, SC and/or N20)

dude this has already been done. they used to do it for emmsion purposes in the mid to late 70's but no it doesn't make any boost. and excess gases aren't recycled in a turbocharged engine....it uses exhaust to spool a turbine :imfao:

That's an EGR valve, and it's still used to this day. The ones in the early days clogged and jammed hella fast though, giving them a bad rep.

Anyway, since there is virtually no oxygen in exhaust gas, it can't be recycled into the combustion chamber for added power, however it can be recycled to reduce combustion temperatures and fuel useage, which is why it's a peice of emissions equipment.

Anyone who talks about "ram air" in a Honda (or most other cars, for that matter) is full of shit. I mean copious amounts, pouring right out of the mouth.

Turbos do not recycle exhaust gas, they use the energy of the moving exhaust gas which is used to turn a turbine which pumps clean air.
