popular mechanics had a good article on these a while back. The worst one was so dodgy, pieces could potentially very easily fly off and down into the intake.
I dont even need to waste the energy writing what the test results showed...

[DJ]

That almost as bad as the special stickers you could stick on the underside of the fuel tank

[bluemaumau]

yea theres some really dodgy stuff on trade me now huh.

these people must actually waste their time importing this BS then waste more time selling it, knowing full well it aint gonna do shit.

BASTARDS

[Adydas]

Let me get this right..

If you put $1000 worth of fuel in your car youll get $310 worth xtra free?

[Mad Murphy]

What else can you say other can crock of s**t? Another one of those "if it actually worked we'd all already have one" products.

[Adydas]

Lets collectivly rip this shit out of him..

[Lloyd]

Come on... these type things have been around on trademe for ages. Couple of threads on here even. Nothing new

[blackie]

Can everyone stop posting these ghey threads about electronic superchargers and shit.....

[Ae92typeX]

lol, angry

[Emperor]

Ohnoez! It's illegal to discuss stuff on a forum!

No, please do it while im driving

yeah but at least SOME of the electronic superchargers work.

[Adamal]

yeah but at least SOME of the electronic superchargers work.

Physics says no

physics says yes

give the electronic turbine enough power to flow enough air and it wont work because?

[Stealer Of Souls]

Physics doesn't say "NO."

It says "Very difficult to do".

thats more like it.

there have been systems around that do actually work although not in the traditional sense that a supercharger or turbo work.

more in the sense on NOS,

you generally have a large number of batteries, or you have some way of stealing as much power as possible from your alternator
(this isnt done at the same time as using the electronic supercharger)

the next step is to have a whole bunch of (i am pulling figures from the air right now cos i cant remember the exact ones)

60amp capacitors, and a few other bits and pieces.

you have the power flowing through to a compressor turbine that can

- handle the power
- flow enough CFM at enough pressure

some of these systems can provide up to 8 to 10 psi (i have seen 14 claimed)

for periods of 10 to 15 seconds.

you activate them via a button.

so as you can see there is a huge effort with only a very short reward,

and as far as I know the cost of a lot of these set ups are into the thousands, so unless you have more money than sense or for whatever reason you can't actually turbo / supercharge your car,

then these electric superchargers are pretty pointless.

there has been previous discussions on this and I have seen the formulas for what it takes to flow air.


and for any ppl who wonder why in simple terms most of these electric chargers dont work..

read up at how much air your car sucks in at sea level atmospheric pressure.

then think about how the compressor needs to provide roughly 15 psi of air at the rate the car sucks air in, to get the boost to cancel the vacum
then it needs to flow more again to actually provide +ve pressure

[sergei]

what the hell is "60Amp capacitor"???

[Inane]

a component capable of handling 60 coloumbs per second of current...


ok so I should have said "very powerful" capacitor, rather than a high amp
