Just a big SCAM or is this for real????

I was searching on ebay and this intake blower popped up. Now I have seen these blowers before and they were all a bunch of B.S. but this seemed different. Heres the auction:

I just wanted to know what you guys thought. Is this a big scam or a great deal?

BIG SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!! stay away from it!!!! Anyone that buys that must also have the "Tornado" vortex creator intake also!!!!!

There are two forms of forced induction, Turbocharging and Supercharging. An electric fan that is just barely stronger than a blowdryer is NOT a supercharger!!!!

ya, its just a scam, i cant believe people are actually making money off of that

isnt nitrous another form of forced induction as well?

In response to your question 97eclipseRS. Yes, I guess Nitrous is a form of forced induction. I should have said "there are only two mechanical forms of forced induction, Turbocharging and Supercharging." that would have been more accurate..

I stand corrected...

Just look at how many threads pop up about it every day on every car forum. Then think about all the people who buy one to find out instead of asking on a forum. They make a lot of money.

those are just sumps from boats. It's a big scam.

n2o is not a form of induced induction, you are not pushing (compressing) air into the chambers, what you are doing is introducing nitrious, which is introduced into the intake tract of an internal combustion engine, the effect is like a super charger or increasing the compression ratio of the engine.

n2o has more oxygen by weight than the atmosphere, the nitrogen reduced the temperature of the engine, thus weilding 25-35 percent more power using a small shot.

the compresion is increased, air is not pushed into the intake tract.

this is a common thing for people to get confused, technically nitrious is not a form of induced induction.

so if it isnt a type of forced induction then would a 2gnt with an all motor setup and nitrous still be considered all motor if the nitrous was used?

They're absolute crap. No electric supercharging is available

Not in the slightest- nothing in being forced.

No. It's a motor with nitrous injection.

KenshinXero · 12-02-2003, 09:45 PM

I dont know if the 2gnt would still be considered all motor, but in my book, I wouldnt say that it is being forced induced. Anyways, check up on this thread from my local dsm club, http://www.miamidsm.addr.com/phpBB2/...pic.php?t=1478 . its a pretty interesting read.

You can tell that it is fake right off the bat. Anyone who writes that much down as a description is obviously trying to rip you off. I especially liked the part where he said he can hang with vettes and has shocked a couple by beating them. Real intelligent guy
