Junk Electric Supercharger or Turbo [Merged 1-7] intake fan gimmick

[dTERM]

http://www.electricsupercharger.com/


Anyone used this? They claim 5-15 HP gains...even on an already compressed intake system. 1-3 pounds of boost from an electric fan for $300. Let's hear it, anyone got one, anyone got pics? Howabout dyno test scores? The ones on the web site look good...but they ARE selling it.

Maybe you could use one to blow air on your SMIC....

Or you could install it in the compartment on the passenger side as a crotch cooler!

yeah i thought about that but that might just be a waste since theres already a butt load of air going to it when your moving, but i dunno what does everyone else think?

maybe you could use it to cool off the intercooler after a run? or would air not do much for cooling it?

Wouldn't it just melt

I was thinking same thing, but then again, the stock BOV is plastic so I guess not.

haha there selling tons of those things, look at the other auctions, silly scammers. If you really can get them for 15 bucks i wanna find a use for em, hehe

This will allow you to control your boost without having to purchase a $300 boost controller or timer.

LMFAO!!!! my turbo ain't timing properly so ima get one of dees!

Well, if you read my post you would see that i said it was a scam and i even added some sarcasm in for good measure. A turbo does not build boost directly in porportion to what is being drawn in. It builds boost exponentialy. As you force more air in, not suck it, then you have more exhaust energy and pressure. With this you will turnt he turbine faster and it will build more boost and so on, again build boost exponentialy. A SC, like this little POS being sold does, it lineraly. You force in an amount and thats it there is no extra being put out.

I know exactly how a turbo and SC work. I have educated myself enough to know that this is a gimic.

WHOA there...I DID read your post as i added a smiley for sarcasm also.(Guess only you can be sarcastic) You must have either misunderstood me, or just tryin to start something cause what you are saying has nothing to do what i was saying.I don't care about the linear or exponential both of them BUILD boost this thing doesn't.

How would you control the air flow of this device??? A turbo has the air coming from the engine to drive it, and a SC has a belt. Therefore each works according to how fast the engine is working. This thing just constantly blows the same amount of air no matter if you are at a stoplight or redlining it. I don't get what we are having this friendly feud about??? Love thy Brother......

Sorry. i get frutrated at work sometimes and then take a break and post. i see what you are saying, but I doubt it would make more than a pound or two and only at idle or low rpms.

It's all good.

Its a dam leaf blower.
But i have seen the same thing, but it was a converted leaf blower. The guy claimed that there was some added power.

Some guy around here w/a big block nova put a leaf blower into his intake.. gets 7psi, and some decent power too.

i am going to have to call BS on that. How does he account for the pressure and idle. I also doubt that a leaf blower has enough to feed a big block at 6K. Is it fuel injected or does it have a carb?

Maybe it is possible?

Wow, I don't think that one's Photochopped at ALL!

This is Supercharging High Intake Technology.

It will most definitely add S.H.I.T. to your engine.

 

[n0va91TSI]

they are pretty cool for little cars that are normally aspirated. My friend may get one for his chevy spectum 1.5L SOHC. Seems ### for DSMs but that cuz were spoiled with aftermarket options. some ppl cant get turbo exhaust manifolds you know, and this is a way to get some forced induction. the trick if finding out how much your engine can flow in CFM and then see if the blower can push that CFM or more. I think its cool they have these electric turbos but no way they can push enuff air for a DSM.

 

['96_Talon_TSi]

Hey cool, i have a lawn mower!

It may be B.S. I haven't seen the car myself, although i would like to as much as any of you. I'll see if i can get some info or even pics of it.

Man those little blower things arnt gonna do anything for him, he might think hes gonna get forced induction but hes not, i think you would have to be one ignorant M F'er to actually purchase one of those and expect anything.

that money would be better spent on a intake or something like that. you can get somethign alot better for 150 then a fake supercharger.

maybe you could use it on a go kart.

Great analogy! :laugh:
That thing is definitely a ghetto/trailer trash mod.

I wouldn't really suggest it for N/T either. Think about how a turbo works.. It works off the exhaust side. The air that is moving thru the exhaust side is what drives the turbo. So the turbo is pulling air out of the engine at the same rate that it's being forced in. That thing looks like something you slap on the end of your intake to "Force" air in but you don't have something on the other side of the engine to help even things out. I'm no professional but i would think that thing would cause more harm than good. Just a waste IMO. Your turbo is much better.

Turbo's do not pull air out of the engine. They are turned by the pressure and heat of the exhaust gases. Real superchargers ( Vortech or Kenne Bell ) force air, and they have no "exhaust" side modifications. All of Kenne Bell vehicles put down their power on stock exhausts.

That ebay crap is not worth it. Where are the fuel mods and all the supporting hardware? Leave ebay to ricers and home decorators.

if you really want one of these things, go to sears and get a leaf blower and hook it up... i believe they are on sale right now, or they will be this weekend... i SHOULD know cause i work in that department and all.

 

[karbon]

I'm having trouble finding information on this technology, however here's the basic idea:
As your engine runs, some power from the DC side of the electrical system is skimmed off and stored into capacitors, then some kind of trigger is tripped at WOT, and the capacitors discharge to run a supercharger. It'd work better than the leaf blower idea, wouldn't draw too much from your alt., and would be like getting a small shot of nitrous every 5 minutes or so, or however long it takes to charge. It sounds neat for those that don't feel like selling their N/T for a turbo. If anyone else has heard more about this, feel free to school me on the subject. I thought it sounded neat.

 

[RiceKiller_TSi]

Yeah, this thing is a great idea.
Go from 95hp to 95.5hp and be able to blow the leaves off the driveway when you get home.
