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.

these things could work, but there is so much speculation becuase they are soo cheap, and they arnt proven, few if any people have them to tell us how good they were. if you believe in them so much, buy one, dyno, and prove us wrong

At electricsupercharger.com they have lots of proof Of course, they still could be pullin our legs, but it just makes me wonder. Isnt it about time somthing that is a good price and gives good results come out on the market?

Im sure they work. Why wouldnt it if it supplied enough pressure? Its just making it easier for your car to breathe which is what everything tries to do. Ive asked my father about these long before I went turbo, him being an engineer, and he said sure it would do something. He said he didnt know just how much but he was sure it would do something, so it isnt horseshit, its just probably not the most cost effective way to get power unless you got one of the higher powered ones that would push a high cfm with not a great amount of power draw. That would be the tricky part because once you start drawing on your electric power you would sap some of your horses immediately anyways, but theres a catch to everything.

If you want to try it I say go for it. It should do something.

ya, they have proof, just like those guys who put resistors in your ecu that gives you 40hp

valid point, but for some reason i feel like these guys arent fibbin

That thing might give out better result if theres another electric blower from the exhaust manifold to balance the intake and exhaust cycle. Also its better to install the intake blower in a separate pipe merging the other pipe from the normal intake pipe so that the electric blower doesn't act a restriction during normal driving.

Oh, its no restriction. Its alot bigger than stock piping, but i cant remember what size, and comes with K&N Filter already attatched It acts as a decent intake when not in use, and you can only used it when you have full throttle.
The blower from the exhaust manifold is a good idea... then u basically have a mini turbo :laugh: im not sure how you would adapt the blower to fit exhaust though...

The blades still acts a restriction cuz its in the center of the pipe. Maybe they should make a electric powered exhaust blower made up of aluminum. Probably like a muffler type with aluminum fan blades.

Hey www.boosthead.com has an actual eaton supercharger kit now for 3 grand just use the model search. I posted on this about 3 months ago when Thomas knight emailed me he was doing a 420a S/Ckit. Looks good now

 

[atblacktalon92]

Those are for 2G 420A only

Find a true dyno test, post it, and then tell us it isn't horseshit.

Could there be some reason these aren't on every race-ish car out there? Such as, they do not work?

Ya there is a reason. You have CHOICES. You can get a supercharger, turbo, nitrous, or this eaton "supercharger"
Why would it be horseshit? Its the same basic idea as a supercharger or turbo. I bet their were guys like you when turbos first came out, calling them horseshit.

 

[realitytb]

Yes, turbo's work. Which is faster, a stock n/t, or a stock turbo? Ok then. Having or not having a turbo has nothing to do with its PROVEN power adding abilites, its the money (and small amount of luck) involved. You missed the point. NOBODY in this forum has one of these electric superchargers on their DSM, even though it promises guaranteed results. Dont you think thats a bit odd? I do.

Nitrous is actually cheap. How much is race gas? Average $4.25 (up 10% in two years) around here. Compare that to $2.14 for premium gas (up 60% in two years, but if you factor in the 3-5% inflation monetary inflation rate, its the same as in the 80s) and $3.74 per pound for nitrous(up 2% in two years.) Point? Nitrous is cheap, cheaper than race gas, and will be cheaper than premium soon. Also, nitrous is not safer than that crappy supercharger, but it is more effective, and is more safe than the gasoline in your tank.

Last point. Im looking at your profile, I dont see stated one in your car, or on your wishlist, nor did you say you have one and youve experienced the results. So how do you know its NOT crap? Dont bother contradicting my opinion again until you KNOW.

So, because i dont have anything in my profile, automatically means i dont know?
Nitrous is still alot more expensive than the e-ram. That was my point. Nitrous is cheaper than race gas... and what did that have to do with my point at all? Nothing. My point was that the cost to run nitrous effectively in your car is alot more than this e-ram. When you have nitrous, you MUST run premium gas or higher, plus the cost of the nitrous its self. THAT was my point.

I never missed the point. Nobody has one of these superchargers because they are NEW PRODUCTS. So it is not odd at all that no one has one. Most people in these forums have turbo's, so they dont need an e-ram.

Dont bother contradicting MY opinion unil you learn to contradict better.

Because you dont own one, you are not the expert, therefore you have no base for your arguement that Im wrong.

Nitrous is still alot more expensive than the e-ram. That was my point. Nitrous is cheaper than race gas... and what did that have to do with my point at all? Nothing.

N20 is cheaper than you make it out to be, and I proved it with those numbers. Why is N20 more expensive to run effectively on a car? Simple. Electric supercharger guarantees you, what, 15-20 hp? Now contrast that with what you can get from N20. Nuff said.

I never missed the point. Nobody has one of these superchargers because they are NEW PRODUCTS. So it is not odd at all that no one has one. Most people in these forums have turbo's, so they dont need an e-ram.

They are NOT new products, and I dont know where you got that idea. This company may be new, but the idea is not. Most people have turbos so they dont need e-ram? Correct me if Im wrong, but dont turbocharged cars still have an intake? If this e-ram was so awesome, they would have one. Nobody wants to miss out on cheap hp right?

Dont bother contradicting MY opinion unil you learn to contradict better.

Your post is a tedious, homogenised, chameleon-esque scribble which amounts to nothing more than the demented cacophonous racket of a drugged lunatic banging loudly on kitchen pots and pans. Your post is an orgy of stultifying verbal depravity; an exercise in literary impotence, and an offense to all of good taste and decency.

If there's an idea in your head, it's in solitary confinement. Is that a conclusion or simply the place where you got tired of thinking? Anyway, who was talking to you or even taking you under consideration?

wow, you REALLY need to get a life. Go drive your dsm (if you really own one)

No, those pictures in my gallery are 3d renderings, created in Photoshop.
I see you dont even have a gallery, or a vehicle profile. Hmm....

 

[realitytb]

no i wasnt "owned" i just realized that i dont care what you say, or think. i dont have a profile or pic because i dont want one. And if that really is YOU on that pic, MAO.

 

[realitytb]

BTW, im done with this topic. I still think the supercharger would work, which is what this is all about anyway, not argueing with close minded idiots.

I wasnt saying that if you wanted the ultimate drag monster that you should use an electric supercharger. Im merely answering the guys question with a valid point. I fail to see how this would not benefit a car if like I said it was flowing enough cfm to make a difference. Seeing as how you and I have a turbo then I could see why we may be partial but he is merely asking if this would do anything that would be justifyable of cost. I say yes.

I fail to see how a hp gain from electricity is horseshit, because I seem to remember ohhh quite a few years back that their were cars invented that ran on strictly electricity and still some made today. I also recall quite a few cars that have something called electric motors, hybrids, that are powered by electricity and by a gas motor when needed. HP from electricity ... not a new invention ... and proven to work.

Not race cars of course because batteries dont save any space or weight but it certainly doesnt mean they're useless. All things considered ... I would say investigate just how much cfm the unit flows because this was the only concern my father had and just make sure that this is somewhat higher than the vacuum your car may pull when you flip the switch and I cannot see why this would not create power.

Thread closed until something factual actually comes of this product on a DSM.

OK guys that electric supercharger from ebay for $300 isnt really anything because i have it and when i connected it i thought would make my car was faster but hey anything you put on a N/T you think makes you faster and if you do have it DONT TAKE IT OFF because after i took it off i found out my damn car won't pass over 4000 RPM's until i put it back on all it does it pushes more air into your Throttle Body thru the intake.At the shop that i went the guy told me i have to connect it to the Air Sensor which really sucks it didnt say anywhere on the product that i had to do it. Now all i got is a 420a GS N/T that wont go over 4000 RPM and i posted here before about my car not going over 4000 RPM. The only way it goes over 4000 RPM is if i take it on the highway and go 75 thats when it hits and goes over thats the only way

im sorry im having trouble understanding what your saying. could you make it more clear? and gramatically correct?

 

[atblacktalon92]

True that.

: Drops to knee and bows head:

"Father forgive him for he know not what he's done"

Did you pay $300 for it??? From now on do searches and ask many ?'s before buying some products. I hope you get it fixed. Hey at least come Fall you won't need a rake anymore.
