What the hell. Look at this quote on thier web site.

"Engine Life With A Turbocharger

A properly engineered and fitted turbo will, if anything, enhance engine life. The engine will experience an increase in heat, but with boost pressure not exceeding 0,6 bar, without an intercooler, the engine will cope with the heat increase. The conrods and crank will benefit substantially as the turbo produces more power throughout the power stroke. This gives a constant load on the components and assists in cushioning the inertia loading, - with a consequential increase in life expectancy of engine components."

Complete ********, just like thier supercharger kit. I wouldn't install anything from these people on my Z, even if it were free. Geez.

 

this has all the earmarkings of a scam/hoax

 

Exactly.

 

Yes there have been delays related to having a final product to market. But borrowing my car for development in 2003 for 4 months just to perpetrate a hoax is unlikely to me. Basically I loaned my car to them (strangers at the time) and when I got it back it had less than 100 hundred miles driven on it meaning they either used it for computer modeling and development or to make the hoax more believable...hmmmm I think the former is more likely.

I don't know the latest information (it's been a few weeks)...i'm not the type to tell someone how to run their business nor bug them everyday. But I do know that this project is a coordination between consumer products for us and sanctioned racing...meaning it's only good enough for us if it's good enough to race.

Please be patient...good news is coming. God knows I'm the most anxious...been waiting for a year almost for my blower but I'd rather wait for a developed system over a rush to market plan and I've talked to them enough to be completely confident in them. Hopefully in a few weeks, we'll all hear and see what I've been waiting for.

 

If this Supercharger does come out in the market I think it will be the best buy out of all the superchargers out there right now and probably will be the most reliable.

 

absolutely, no doubt about it...........it is a "Dream in the Workes"....

 

Call me a skeptic - but check your odometer cable.

So, a company can spend upwards of 1/4 to 1/2 million dollars on developing a supercharger, castings, computer, plenums, fuel control, injectors, upper manifolds - then build up inventory to sell the kits but they can't afford a $30K car for development, shows, ads, and to give to magazines to tout their own product?

I've got some snake oil around here somewhere.....

oh.. found it. Wanna buy it?

 

I suppose they could've done it like Greddy and have people bitching and whining for a year and a half even though they had all the coverage in the world.

 

Regardless, I would never buy a product from a company with such missinformation on thier web site such as the statement I posted above.

I hope they do release it, but posting crap like that on your web site makes me think 1. They don't know what they are doing; Or 2. they are tring to misslead thier customers.

I don't like superchargers anyways!

 

If accountants thought like this, superchargers would cost twenty million to develop. "what's the cost of a car when we have suchandsuch budget?" "What's the cost of a yaght with our budget?" "Hey, it's cold in here. Throw another roll of hundreds into the furnace."

If they borrow someone's car and have a slightly cheaper blower in the end, all the better. Still, things have been awkwardly silent on the dreamworkes front. I don't think this was conceived as a fraud, but perhaps they found the task far more difficult (expensive) than they expected.

 

A quarter or two delay in a brand new product development/introduction are quite normal... If they found a flaw in the casting or they needed to modify the tooling, it could have pushed them back a quarter easily...

 

I am a bit confused - is DW supercharger up for grabs or not. And was the carb certification obtained?


I know that earlier there was some discussion about warranty. I was just wondering (maybe if Jeff can confirm) - by installing the DW supercharger at 5.5 psi - are you voiding the factory warranty on the engine or not?

 

Man that thing aint for real....

 

O_o

 

What makes you think that? Becuase it was delayed...?

 

Thats why Your in CA..And Dreamworks is in Brooklyn NY..This whole damn thing is a scammmm!!!

Oh man...that's why I had to meet them in an alley at 2am while cats meowed and bums turned over garbage cans.

I don't see the relevance between where I am with where DW is and how this would be a scam unless dropping off my car was actually a figment of my imagination.

 

Was the drive from anaheim to NY fun? **** man Tell me it was and if they call me, I'll drive there with you, that is if you want to drive to NY again........LOL.....

 

Maybe they have a R&D facility out in CA...?

If jimster716 says he let them use he's car, I believe him... Wha'ts his motivation to make that up?

Only time will tell I guess...
