Electric Supercharger

Hi guys,

I drive a 7th Gen Civic (VTi) Manual (1493cc with VTEC) in Singapore. Came from an ad selling an electric supercharger, which promises a lot.

Just wanna ask you guys in the States, have any of you guys put such things, and how is the performance gains/losses?

Thanks....
Dan

The writeup is as follows:


Air Charger & Electronic Controller

The Only Variable Speed Electric Supercharger in The World! A first from Singapore.

Benefits
Increases Power & Torque across engine rpm.
Variable Speed System Monitors Engine Load.
Separate Electronic Control System.
Improved Acceleration.
Air Flow almost double 1.6cc requirement.

Yes, most of the time they're more of a restriction in the intake. I have computer fans that spin faster.

10,000rpm baby! That's what's cooling my server...along with 3 other fans...

Holding the thing in my hand is a chore...it literally wants to push me around.

er.. its a gimmick. it doesn't do anything to performance... and its rather dangerous to have moving parts in your intake pipping...

what happens if one of the fan snaps? youll find it flying in your throttle body.

dont get it. stay away from it.

stupid ebay lets people sell the worse things.

I saw one of those on sale for only $30 and they are only good for boats. Do not buy an E.S.
