http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_dialect

Mandarin ±±·½Ô’/±±·½»°: This is the mother dialect of Chinese living in northern and southwestern China. It is the basis for the official spoken language of Chinese which is called ÆÕͨԒ/ÆÕͨ»° Putonghua in the People's Republic of China and ‡øÕZ/¹úÓï Guoyu in the Republic of China (Taiwan).

One distinctive feature of Mandarin is the partial loss of tones in comparison to Middle Chinese and the other dialects. Another is the loss of consonants on the ends of syllables, so that while Middle Chinese had an inventory of "-p, -t, -k, -m, -n, ng", Mandarin only has "-n, -ng". In addition, Mandarin underwent less tone splits than the other dialects. As a result, many words which sound different in dialects such as Cantonese are homophones in Mandarin. Mandarin has adjusted by developing compound words in order to make up for the development of homophones. This is less common in other dialects.

Wu …ÇÕZ/ÎâÓï: spoken in the provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Wu includes Shanghainese. Wu dialect is notable among Chinese dialects in having kept voiced consonants, such as /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/, etc. (These may in fact be better described as voiceless consonants that create a voiced breathy element across the syllable: i.e. /p\/, /t\/, etc.)

Hakka/Kejia ¿Í¼ÒÔ’/¿Í¼Ò»°: spoken by the Hakka people in Southern China. Despite being a southern dialect, Hakka was the result of northern immigration. The term "Hakka" itself translates as "guest families". Hence Hakka is has kept many features of northern Middle Chinese that have been lost in the North.

Min é}ÕZ/ÃöÓï: spoken in Fujian, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Southeast Asia. Min is the only group of Chinese dialects that cannot be directly derived from Middle Chinese. Due to its great internal disparity, Min can be divided into five groups of dialects: south Min (which includes) Hokkien, Teochew (Chaozhou), and Taiwanese), east Min, Putian-Xianyou, north Min and central Min.

Cantonese »›ÕZ/ÔÁÓï: spoken in Guangdong province, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, all over Southeast Asia and by Overseas Chinese. Cantonese is spoken in Hong Kong; the language of Taishan is also classified as Cantonese. Cantonese has the most intricate tone pattern among all Chinese dialects - with varieties having up to nine or ten tones. It is also the only dialect to have kept the full complement of ancient Chinese word-final consonants (p, t, k, m, n, ng)

Xiang ÏæÕZ/ÏæÓï: spoken in Hunan province. Xiang is usually divided into the "old" and "new" types, with the new type being significantly closer to Mandarin.

Gan ÚMÕZ/¸ÓÓï: spoken in Jiangxi province.

(The following three dialect groups are not always classified separately.)


Hui »ÕÕZ/»ÕÓï: spoken in the southern parts of Anhui province - usually classified as a sub-branch of Gan.

Jin •xÕZ/½úÓï: spoken in Shanxi province, as well as parts of Shaanxi, Hebei, Henan, and Inner Mongolia. It is often classified together with Mandarin.

Pinghua ƽԒ/ƽ»°: spoken in parts of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. It is sometimes classified together with Cantonese.

Hong Kong speaks Cantonese (traidtional font Chiense)
China speaks Mandarin (Simplified Chinese)
But the kit is of Japanese origion. So I figured it wouldn't hurt to at least check out that magaine for it.

Take a look at the 3rd pic, i believe...

It seems there is a "sub-computer' installed that looks as though it connects into the ECU in the engine bay...but of course this would have to be done no matter what...I don't think it's possible to make this, or any for that matter, car FI without an ECU mod...

Blitz superchager is adv in Japan Option magazine with the Trust Turbo...

I would prefer the Blitz compressor - it says in the Feb issue (only an ad) that it is available in Japan this Spring.

Yes They dyno it and it gains about 50-60ps with significant torque boost.

Remaing question is: need ECU update..? Look like they did in this mag. Blitz ad said normal ECU compatable.

Oh I have one more question: need to change the exhaust..

I won't rush into it. I will do the exhaust first... (I think it will be still about 1-2 years from now~!!!

Don't mix HK people to mainlander.
HK people speak Cantonese and is slightly different than the 1 they spaek in Guandong especially the word that they use. you will know who is a mainlander and who is from HK by talking to them.
HK people use traditional chinese font where mainlander use a shameful simplified font.
HK people can read or understand Mandarin but they have terrible pronounciation which any Mainlander or taiwan people can tell right the way they are not native mandarin speaker.

Its not about the overall power gain but the gain through the mid range that will really help out the 8 in terms of performance. Try and get even a 10 hp increase below 4k with Canzoomer's mod.

yeah that is where it is on the CZ stg2 i believe, in the midrange as well. Stg1 has a 20whp increase at 6k rpms. If i was going to shorten the life of my engine by forced induction i would want more power out of it than that, plus rotaries work so well w/ turbos because of the high flow exhuast and large rpms for a large range of rpms available to a spooled turbo.
