I don't know if it has been posted on here before, but it's taking the internet by storm!!!!
I'll post a link, but it's down right now because the server can't handle the traffic! no joke. this post in a gm forum has an insane amount of views, regarding this revolutionary technology. direct exhaust injection!!!!!! the guy wants to do this on his C5 corvette.
hope the link is working again soon....

this is the blueprint. basically, he thinks he can bypass a turbo (since turbo's use exhaust gasses to increase hp) and make it much more efficient by just routing the exhaust right back into the combustion chamber!
read the post! you gotta see what this guy says and thinks!!!!!
since the link isnt working right now, here's the original post. but you have to see all of the posts to see that this guy is dead serious, and i think he might have more than a couple screws loose....

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.
What do you guys think?
