    This type of electric supercharger is not effective in increasing HP output of any engine. Believe me, I have tried it first hand.

    For the same money, it's more worthwhile to install a nitrous-oxide kit.

    here is a pic of this particular electric super charger



    this is suspiciously cheap, not to mention they did not mention the boost generated. but what I want to know is if it can produce even low boost same with low pressure turbos then it could be something to look into as a cheap alternative.

    comments and suggestions please

    I doubt if it can do any level of boost.

    BTW, looks like it came from an electric leaf blower which it probably did.

    And where will it get 15 amps?

    Loss ≥ Gain, I would think.

    it looks more like it would obstruct airflow rather than increase airflow into the intake

    it would block air flow when not operating since I think it uses a scroll type fan.

    Not pixie dust and caviar dreams?

    Who knows... maybe it gives a 5 psi boost at idle... tapering off to 0.000001 at 2000 rpm...

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    maybe from idle up to mid-rpm, the fan could blow more air than the engine could inhale by itself

    but at high rpm/WOT, the engine could inhale more air than the fan could blow

    the fan would end up obstructing rather than helping

    there's no short cut

    it's either you turbocharge, supercharge, or inject happy gas
