thought it was kind of funny, but cool at the same time. Now some of yall might be able to adapt a simi-cool super charger to your car with this idear!

thats been out for a few years.

Only lasts about 15 seconds at a time

I know.. but still, its kind of crazy, thats a little bit different than that cheese ball 1 motor hair dryer thing you find all the time.. Thats a M46 addapted with 3 starter motors.

those starter motors have a Ton of torque. Much more effective than a little POS bilge pump or whatever they use.

Exzactly, but he has to have 2 batterys in the trunk for when he opperates that thing lol.

yup. Thats the downfall of that system. Like any other method, it takes power to make power.

Well sort of theres one system to get horse power and not loose hp.. The EPS for an EP3! lol. it only uses power when needed and you save 5-7 of normaly "hydrolic" system .

sounds like this is a couple years from being a decent option

Honetstly this is useless in our cars. If you can get say 15 seconds from it, then you are not even able to keep it running for a full 1/4 mile pass. On top of that try tuning with that.
Seems like a great idea for 1 guy to do, but in the end its not worth the work.
Small turbo would be the best bet still

If you can add fuel, it could make a big difference on the civics.

I dont remember how much off hand, but i think it will move enough air to make about 5 psi of boost on small displacement motors. That is enough to put you in the 14's if you are a good driver.

Yeah i also remember reading its like if you run 5 psi. Someone should try it and see how they do.
