Electric Superchargers?

[Massive]

well ive been looking around for a supercharger kit and stumbled across this

http://www.akamoto.co.uk/electric-supercharger.asp#

i really dont see how this will have any massive amounts of gain however i am very tempted to try the one with dump valve just to see if it work :amuse: they do look pretty cool though

Leave well alone. At best they'll obstruct engine breathing. At worst you'll wind up with shattered bits of cheap plastics being drawn into the intake manifold and further into the combustion chambers.

If the latter occurs then is bye bye car,

@ massive, don't even think about it! this nonsense has raised it's ugly head on here before; it will only end in tears for you

Its a fan. In some pipe. :amuse:

 

[Massive]

i know i would just be funny to see if it actually did anything, gonna buy something like a venom kit, and save up for a real supercharger :twisted:

If you like rebuilding engine then go ahead.
These are utter rubbish and as said if it fails then you'll be looking at a possible rebuild.

This is like 1980's hifi tweaks. I'm not denigrating high end audio, I use high end audio indoors but I don't have (and never have had) specially painted bits of paper underneath plant pots in the listening room.

If you think I'm being funny then look here:-

or, here; http://www.belt.demon.co.uk/product/odl/One_Drop_Liquid.html

for the really silly stuff.

If that's not enough, then look at the other PWB products

Wow.

Just...wow.

Oh, but yeah to the OP. the electric superchargers are snake oil. don't do it.

You're better off with a good brand set of super lightweight rims - if you haven't had it yet. Go for the one that is less than 5kg.

 

[SLEEPER]

As above they are simply nonsense


If you really want more air through take off the filter

That is probably safer !
