You can divert the snorkle that goes to the air box to the wheel. Also, you can either divert your IC sprayer, or for the evos without them, we can divert the windsheild sprayer to help cool down the hampster. It can also double as a water feed line in case they get thirsty (besides, we're not ones for animal cruelty... gotta give them water).

Wow... quite a response and so many questions to answer.

Here goes:
The guinea pig and chiuwawa would likely be faster runners, but I'm not sure you would be able to fit them in the wheel. The wheel is kept small for a couple reasons: 1) Under-hood space 2) Keep it light so it spools up quickly
But yes, rats would work well and they are cheap.

I agree with the heat shield / scatter guard . We'll take a look at that.

Sorry, no pricing available yet. Testing may still lead to necessary modifications of the design, which would change the price.

I found a titanium wheel on eBay for cheap. Comes with an albino mouse. I'll keep you guys updated once I get it.

Can we apply this technology in some other way similar to that Miev Evo, but instead of lithium-ion battery per wheel we have a hamster or whatever per wheel?

This is a much better use of gerbils and hardware supplies than Richard Gere's idea.

haha i dare someone to bring their car to the dealer for servicing with a hampster wheel attached to the back of the turbo and see what they say. I bet the first thing they do is void your warranty lol but that would be sum funny sh*t if someone got it on video.

I would be real concerned about over-spooling the turbo. Hamsters can run pretty fast!

New Option to Significantly Reduce Turbo Lag

I would like mine with an imported Syrian hamster backed by 3 dimentional feline motivation. We tried this years ago in Russia and it worked pretty good on our two cylinder East German Trabants. It made them run like scalded rats!
