Being a Nissan community I have to ask. I know everyone is stoked about the R34's to be legal here, but does anyone other than myself think the S15 should have been produced in North America? I feel in the early era where imports started to become popular they would have had a market.
I don't know about you guys but all I can think about is all the fresh powder thats going to be waiting for my sled to pound it's way through it! That and christmas of course....
I'm getting upset that we don't have any snow here yet! Can't wait to hit the slopes.

Ok. I didn't want to mention it but I was thinking about turbo charging my Vette. I got to thinking about it and how in efficient even turbos are (compressor efficiencies of about 80% at best).
Since a turbo's function is to pressurize incoming air and force it into the upper motor, and turbos are driven by high pressure exhaust gas created from the combustion process, couldn't I just bypass the turbo altogether and route my headers back into the throttle bodies?
Since I have CFI, I could balance the DEI (direct exhaust injection as I just coined it) by feeding one header into each throttle body. Yes, the charge air wouldn’t be that cold, but it would be under a hell of a lot more pressure.
I attached a quick sketch below:
There are still a few things I need to work out:
1) How do I get the CFI aircleaner to fit in a way that hides this plumbing?
2) Does anyone make a V-band clamp that will bolt an exhaust header to a CFI throttle body?
3) What pinion angle should I use in my rear-end? I’m sure there will be a noticeable difference in torque output.
