Electric Supercharger, WTF???

[Ross D.]

ok well having a look around ebay and came across an Electric Supercharger, seen that and was abit like WTF? so i went in for a look, reading along it said gains of up to 40HP. Is this because they are useing a leaf blower to force air in or is that normal? because dont they use big fans when dynoing? anyway open it up and have a look

thats the ebay link

the leaf blower is cool, especially when they open the nitrous bottle in front of it.

the electric supercharger is bull**** and not worth a cent

[ScoHar]

yea electric superchargers probably use more energy (electrical) than the put out (watts)

How about putting this type of thing in a new section: Rice mods that cost heaps and destroy any street cred. you might have had.

Should include plastic fake intercoolers and whooshka blow off valves.

HAHAHAHA omfg that would be funny, an air horn compressor setup to a BOV and a chrome coated plastic intercooler HAHAHA fricken rice.

an old friend of the family was once telling me how he and his mates used to glue train whistles in the intakes of their old holdens. used them to scare people at pedestrian crossings with a quick blip of the throttle.

Bahahaha, i forgot about those things LOL.

They are as gay as those exhaust tips with flashing lights in them, those fake blow off valves you wire up under your car, neons and chrome hubcaps.

Well, you basically just gave a definition of Lighting VP's car! He definitely needs an electric supercharger to finish it off!

[alien]

LOL, LightningVP doesn't have a blow off valve. Or Chrome hubcaps :P But you got him on the other points

I'm trying to decide whether putting a duck-call on your BOV fits into this category... I don't think so, reckon it's just funny.

[Zuicider]

[savage1987]
