Re: ELECTRIC TURBO/SUPERCHARGER

I thought about getting one of these once, I think they'd work great for a modified setup to delete the AC box. That's about it though. They won't add any power to your engine. Sorry.

Re: ELECTRIC TURBO/SUPERCHARGER

yeah they are pretty useless, they dont turn with the engine speed and are set at a single speed, so its not matched to every cylinder pulling in air so there is no real power gain

Re: ELECTRIC TURBO/SUPERCHARGER

My diesel instructor told me that his son or somebody put one of these on a four-banger and he noticed a slight power increase. It came on at a certain rpm.

I would do some real good research. Likely a cheap one won't do anything, and a pricier one could be a bad waste of money. Its been talked about in depth here before, but you need some real information on efficiency-electrical draw and cfm output. Baseless answers won't get you anywhere. Talk to an automotive engineer and don't believe the party selling the product.
