anybody think this would actually benefit performance?

Nope

These seem like a good idea in principle, but I can't even imagine how fast that little electric fan would have to spin to move the air in there faster than normal aspiration. Let alone fast enough to have a ram/supercharging effect.

I've never read anything from anyone on any forum that stated these things work. The only positive claims I've ever seen are from the manufacturers. But I kinda have that 'I want to try it for myself' mentality, even though I don't think they'll work, and ppl would laugh at me

Without opening the link. No, do not buy it.

Another one of those doohickeys that should have never existed...like the clamp-on muffler turbo thingamabobber.

Like said above, the principal seems sound. However, there is just no way a DC motor is going to be able to add any forced induction affect to a V8.

I have seen videos of dyno results on 4 cylinders and I think they probably do work for small displacment engines.

Now.. If someone created an A/C based one, I think it just MIGHT work.. Maybe not though.

Deffinetly only buy it for the fun of it, at $24.00 it could be worth playing with just for the sake of something to do some Saturday.

It woulkd work but you would need a larger motor and fan. Still seems a little like strapping a leaf blower on and praying.

okay it's called a 'turbo supercharger' in the picture. no


"Reported Benefits are:"

'Increased Horsepower' - well that would be nice
'Increased Fuel Mileage' - uh okay?
'Better Vehicle Handling' - wat. does it come with koni shocks?
'Extends Engine Life' - just like a real turbo/supercharger does!
'Low cost Upgrade when compared to traditional Turbos and Superchargers' - well how does it compare to a turbo tornado? those are very cost effective too. nosrcsm.

whoa check out this other electric f/i blower i found!!

[jiveass]

yea i always thought if there were a way to feed the cold air from the ac into the intake it could do some good

It doesn't tie into the engine. You bolt it to the trunk of the car and it pushes the car.

Maybe if you string a couple dozen of them in series????

My son put one on his skateboard. he swears his foot power went way up.

[Spaz]

septa busses used to use a electric SC to spool up their large turbo's faster... not sure if they still do or not but more than likely not...

Stick to proven power adders like royal purple, k&n, z max,and wepon x plugs

You forgot about VTAK stickers, and large aluminum spoilers!
