    Default Electric turbos??

    i was looking at turbos and came across these eletric turbos... they connect to the battery and have a switch in the dash to turn them on.. they were saying there like having 15 - 25 sprays of NOS ... what are your views about them.. im not looking for my vs to be a power horse but to have the extra kick to blow the commodore wana bes ( fords lol ) and to have something under the hood thats beasty lol, while trying to keep it standed sorry if im repeating my self or not making sense!!!

    so what arer your views of them?? or is there something else i can do to it for the extra power and sound ect ( i know the exhast)

    theres a company in england that has made the only true electric supercharger ive seen
    it runs on 6 seperate batterys (laptop batterys i think they were) in the boot in series and can run up to 40 psi
    for 30 mins on one charge it was in a civic from memory

    all the bilge pumps and pond pumps in the world wont increase power more than 1 kw or they would burn out....

    They're an excellent idea - buy 6 (one for each cylinder).




    But not really.

    You will need this: SoundRacer | Give your car the sound of a V8 using your car to get the most out of your electric turbo an exhaust whistler.
    Take it easy...But do take it...

    Do not argue with an IDIOT.
    He will just drag you down to his level an beat you with experience
    .

    Some people take me the wrong way, Like smacking up Marijunna.

    Commodore wana bes? You obviously haven't lined up against an XR6 turbo running only 14PSI have you. And thats just the first upgrade.

    You don't have to like them, but you would be a fool not to respect them. IMO

    Those adds are trash. If they really gave you any boost it would blow your plastic intake pipe off.
