    Correct Insane. Its a Air pump enclosed in a sound proof box. Pump is for the Ekretz mod on my Fanatec CSW. M000000re POWER!!!!!

    This Box will also double as a stand for this Bad boy.

    @bsft - He is going to change his motor from Fanatec CSW wheel with bigger and better one (Buhler motor) and once he meets it's force he would need to cool it better than the current stock fan inside Fanatec.

    Therefore the nuclear reactor ;)

    I haven't ran the Air line yet, so that might not help seeing the end product and what its for. But ya. All thats left is to wrap it in some carpet, Drill a hole for the 1/4" tubing and power to come out and wire up a 12v supply for the fans. Then just wait for the motor's and Mod parts......... Then take apart the wheel and go to the machinist buddy and go to Town Lightening Everything we can to reduce the Free wheel friction as Much as possible......Then Install a Slip Ring like this to again aid in removing the friction...>Then im sure ill find more stuff to do.......lol

    @Nick Moxley

    Great to see detailed work about that mod, I'm impatient to see the final stuff and your impressions how it feels comparing to stock CSW.

    Did Ekretz sent you all the required parts for you to do it alone or does he also takes the customers wheel and do the mod himself?
