funny you guys just did this b/c I was thinking how fun one of those would be as I was passing it today. There are a ton of them in Boulder now

blown 944

with that said I wonder how many smart cars actually constitute a "ton"

TurboTim

It is kind of fun and funny at the same time.People are pointing and staring and laughing.But now.......they are like holy sh*t!

And we did it clean too.There is a cat pre-turbo.This car will easily pass the CA emissions and still has a 90% increase in power.

Clown car but nice work on the turbo.

great work Tim! The funny thing is I wouldn't be surprised if this became a big seller for you guys

CPR

Great work Tim!

And as stated ^^^ this may take off like a rocket for you guys....maybe even as a "factory" package. Sounds like it is time to contact SMART

Own Goal

Very impressive bit of engineering. However, first time I saw one of these little wonders it brought back memories of one of my High school buddies. His parents gave him a Renault Dauphine (ok, I’m a 60’s guy). He was not too proud of it to say the least given what other guys had, but being a creative sort he figured out how he could impress girls with it. Like the not-so-Smart Car it was tall, narrow and handled like a wagon. So, he bought two Bell crash helmets for he and his date/pal etc. Had it down solid in about a week he could roll it anywhere and anytime. While other guys might curse the drive in or someone’s house he’s just come flying in and do a roll. Amazing some of the really hot girls he got after ending up in their front yard. Yea, parents being parents that didn’t last too long but he had his identity. Maybe the Smart will continue that heritage with this generation…..

Can we say "autocross"?

It seems like you're only making 115 when you blow air on the intercooler, which would never happen in real world conditions. I don't see how there will ever be any airflow through it. Was there no room to put it up in the front of the car?

Like those fans make that much difference anyway.

ShApE

They actually do make quite a big difference. But I bet you could get some super slim pusher fans on top of the IC to help cool, or maybe a water to air IC. Either way, its a badass kit and I had no Idea that they were rear engine or rear wheel drive lol.

Lorax

That's what I was thinking.
