Electric SuperCharger

ChunkFunky · 02-24-2003, 11:09 AM

I was checking out EBAY for superchargers.. just seeing what they are going for, cause I was thinking of going that route ad I found this.

Electric Supercharger

I thought this was kinda funny.. I cant see how this would be able to push enough air... but who knows.. maybe I'm wrong.. check this thing out and see what you think

If your engine doesn't pull more than 170 cfm from the factory, you have a problem. This might work on a gas powered weedeater, but it is crap for a car.

Ah come on, half a million ricers cant be wrong....

Well I thought you guys would enjoy it... like I said, i thought it was funny... but who knows... maybe it can work... though I think maybe the possibility of an electric blower COULD work... though i suppose if that were the case, we'd have seen them by now...

the funny thing is that, that is a bilge fan for a boat. it would give you about 1/2 psi at idle, and nothing more.
they are selling them for 35-60 dollars, and you can get them at a boat store for $16.

by far the funniest thing i have ever seen someone try to sell.

That one is just a blower unit off of a wood furnace.

I did see a review of a legitimate electric blower once. It was dynoed on a v6 firebird and added less than 1hp. It was manufactured in Japan and wasn't sold directly in the US. It cost way too much for what it was, too.
