I seen on ebay they are going for around $140. Do they really work? I know forceing air into your motor can make more hp but they are cheap looking.

 

ROTFLMFAO


think about it.....

 

It's a scam. That's all there is to be said about it.

 

I would be pretty pi## if I was the person who bought one for $140. and it sucked.lol

 

 

On a big motor like ours, it would more than likely hurt performance because it would be an obstacle in the airflow. In small engine 2L or less, i would be at least willing to try it.

 

I'll cut you a deal....I'll rebadge my girlfriends hairdryer and write "electric supercharger" on it and I'll only charge you $100.00.

Sorry...couldn't resist!

 

These sound like junk. Most of these claim to flow 900cfm, but probably flow less. As far as what throttle bodies will flow according to TPIS:

48mm, 668 cfm
52mm, 790 cfm
58mm, 1000 cfm

So on stock 48mm there might be a some gain, but at the point you have a 58mm TB, you would be creating a blockage.

 

They create no boost. Boost gives you HP not Cfm...

 

Damn that's ridiculous... I remember a while back some guy got cheap and posted about how well an electric fan would work and peope were clowning on him bad... Might as well get a hamster to turn a fan wheel it would be cheaper and do the same thing.

 

i believe it. im gonna bid on it. LOL just kidding. that is soo funny. thing is some people out there will buy it. if he can sell them and people will buy them all the power to him really. cause if people are stupid enough to buy it thats their problem not his.

 

Since you asked a serious question (but are getting silly replies ) I'll go ahead and move it to the Forced Induction forum rather than the Lounge.

The guys over there can explain why or why not this could/can't work
