Holy crap dude, how fast were you going?
but still AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA @ electric super charger

GoldieGoldie97 · 03-30-2007, 03:25 PM

that red "supercharger" looks more like the body of a leafblower to me..

betcha parts of it will rip off in a few thousand miles, clog up the throttle body and intake valves, and eventually destroy the head and you'll end up blaming something else quoting, "those damn 1.9's!"

edit: that checkerboard filter pattern is SO ebay..

second edit: how come you didn't extend out the filter down out of the engine bay like you did with the red one? that would probably make a lot more sense if you have the piping

no no no no no no no

on the electric supercharger.

Rip that off right now, sell it, and buy a CAI.

Just search anywhere...

The electric supercharger is not actually a very exciting invention.

There's no laws-of-physics reason why a forced induction device has to be spun by exhaust gas pressure or a belt from the engine. An electric blower certainly can do the same job as a turbo or belt-drive pump.

The problem is getting enough pressure. The people selling cheap electric superchargers - and there are plenty of them - like to talk about the amazing air flow statistics of their ferocious blowers, but they fail to note that the static pressure capability of those blowers is not nearly as impressive. Let the blower fly around on the end of its cable, or just use it to ventilate your house, and it will indeed shift enough air that you'd think it'd have a fighting chance of doing the job of a supercharger. Actually connect it to an engine, and its flow will plummet. Merely hooking up a fan-based blower that can shift 600 cubic feet per minute (when hanging in space) to an engine that natively inhales, say, 300cfm of air, will definitely not give you one atmosphere of boost.

Forced induction for engines is, by definition, not happening at atmospheric pressure; you want boost, more air being crammed in there than you could get just from a big tube leading to the outside world. Electric blowers don't come anywhere near delivering enough compression power to make a difference to the operation of normal engines, unless the electric motor involved is so inspiringly humungous that it's got similar power performance to a real supercharger or turbocharger - and, then, it can be argued that you might as well have a real supercharger, running directly from the engine via a belt, rather than an electric motor running from the alternator which in turn is running from the engine. There's no way for that electromechanical train to be more efficient than a humble belt.

Most cheap "electric turbos" or "electric superchargers" are actually bilge ventilating fans for boats (they're meant to be preventing dangerous fuel vapour buildup belowdecks), possibly with impressive jet-engine-ish decorations, generally sold at a monstrous markup. The suspiciously cheap eSuperchargers.com proposition is different; they're charging people $US14.95 for the privilege of being told to buy a bilge fan.

Seriously....it's like ricing out your car...I'm actually embarrassed you drive a Saturn.

im not gonna rip it of yet till i go to the dyno here in a few weeks when i get my neck brace off , but the e turbo had a whole page in s3 mag if ya know what that is . but yeh some people hate the hair dyer its your opinons its helps for cheap so ill keep it for a while longer gave my cavy 53 hp more on the dyno .

but other then the gaybo hairdryer hows the change from a auto to a 5 speed cool huh lol.. i got a question how is every one runing ther cold air on the right side ?

the cars got a 108 miles on it all standard **** i was wondering if i can get white guages for it ?

of course you can, you're on here enough to know that white faced gauges, strut bars, intakes, exhaust, tires, wheels, and 5 speed swaps have been covered so many times that they should really all be combined into one post and banned from conversation altogether

don't try to change the subject lol

edit: a-HA! i found the company i was looking for "tempest"

https://tempestperformance.com/on-sh...od&productId=1

they say 1-3 PSI gives UP TO 45 horsepower and you get a FREE ebay IAT chip (5 cent radioshack resistor) to help boost your fuel!!! AMAZING!

E-DUBB · 03-30-2007, 09:57 PM

oh noez!!! teh electrik soopa chargar!!
