So like everyone else i'm looking for some more performance at an affordable price. Check out this thing. Does it seem like it would work? They call it an Electric Supercharger System, but it's really just a high powered fan to attach to your CAI or airbox. Someone w/ some knowledge please inform the rest of us. What does the Bean think?

ok well be dumb and get that for your car.

 

[fissiongrid]

Nothing like this works. Don't get it.

 

[Monkey_3]

Try it out let us know if it works.

No I meant the guy trying for an electirc turbo charger. when that cheap little plastic piece of crap grenades, and your engine sucks down the pieces, well congrats to you.

HIT THE NOS!

the only thing like this that has any SLIGHT amount of credibility is the E-ram... and its not great at all...

 

[Adam3324]

that is a heck of a lot of junk and money for maybe 17hp if it works so go ahead try it and tell us what u think maybe even get a dyno it might give you power but its still really ghetto

I gots a hairdryer that you can use. only 300$!

No it wouldn't work too well. If attched to anywhere on your intake tube, once you're past 40mph, the fan blades become a severe bottleneck. Best case scenario- you'd gain probably 1-2hp at the low end and lose a lot up top. Worst case scenario is you'll need a new engine cause the parts are after the filter. Once that comes apart, well, plastic shards and tiny metal pieces from the fan's motor doesn't compress too well

$250 is better spent on an intake, header, ss, or exhaust.

Thanks Bean, I appreciate the actual useful feedback. Not like I thought this was a great idea, I was just curious. There are a lot of smartasses on this forum aren't there?

When cars switch to 48v electrical systems the likeliness of one of these "electrical" supercharges actually doing something useful will increase, but I don't think its going to come in the form of basically a cheap outboard boat motor (thats exactly what many of these "kits" actually use!). Just think when you're not running it (since it takes so much power to run, you can't run them for that long - think short bursts) you've got this fan now in the intake doing nothing but getting in the way of incoming air instead of sucking - not exactly going to do much for you then either. Bean's right - spend $200 and get an intake instead with instant always on +5whp, better mileage, and no moving parts to break.

go for it, and get it dyno!

 

[Sky 3]

I want to say go ahead and do it, just to see what happens.
But that would be wrong......

it's about equal to the number of dumbasses who ask if electric superchargers work.

 

[jdesclafani]

you should buy 2!!!!!

 

[CRiZO]

One of the members of a local forum I'm on bought one just to try it out on his Sentra Spec-V (similiar to our 3), and he actually lost about 10hp on the dyno.

And yes, the blades will eventually break and be sucked into your engine, which will be fun.
