Now a Stock LT1 pulls 850 CFM stock correct?

850CFM=275

1250 CFM=??? Wouldnt this work.

For 100 dollars I am really wanting to try this, but I wanted to get opinions on this.

I think the general opinion is that they won't work. If you want to buy one go ahead and let us know how it goes.

 

If it does not work on the car, I'm sure it will blow some leaves around in your yard.

 

Save your money, buy a K&N filter instead>Snake

 

Yea, I wouldnt recommend it either but let us all know what the results are if you do try it..

 

Be sure and upgrade the injectors and fuel pump to keep up with the extra air going into your motor.

Actually, why don't you just pay-pal me $85 or whatever that thing is going for. Because the end result will be the same for you- you'll have $85 less dollars, and your car will run just the same.

 

For anything to compress enough air to make a difference for an engine, you need to spin a turbine pretty damn fast. For an electric super charger to work, you'd need quite a bit of current.

He's using 18 gauge wire. That is *very* thin. If the current draw from the fan was high enough to do any good for the engine, it'd melt that wire in a matter of seconds.

I've used 16 gauge wire for some high flow fans (definatly not enough to compress air) for a computer. That wire got hot enough for me to bother changing it all to 14 gauge. Not only that, but what I was doing was with a 1 foot wire. As you go longer distances, you need thicker gauge to account for resistance.

 

LOL. You can do this... I seen this on a mazda miata. The guy took off his hood and took a leaf blower and took off the long part and straped it on his intake and then started it up. Now that will give you some real power but you will buy gas for it lol.

 

Hmmm...doesn't this have a striking resemblance?

 

give it a whirl if u got the money to spare.

 

Ya ever think about what happens when the cheap plastic blades break off into your engine
Also, I recall Injuneer doing some kind of mechanical breakdown as to how it was physicaly impossible for something like that to work. I think it would take something like 3 90 amp alternators to produce any compression.

 

Don't waste your money this thing might restrict the intake flow and kill your top end power....just kidding, but it's hard to believe that a crank driven supercharger driven by a serpentine belt can be replaced by a hair dryer. If you try it, please let us know what happens. Do they have a money back guarantee? not trying to be a wise guy but am pretty skeptical about this outfit. Be careful...

 

Alright, thats enough of the "let us know how it works" Just do a search for "electric supercharger" and you'll see 50 threads full of reasons much better thought out than I can expaining why it CAN'T work. PS, I'll buy you one of those for $25 down here at West Marine boat supplies

 

hmmm..................not quite, but this one is damn near identical

 

I did it to my old 98 v6 firebird. One fan didn't seem to do anything so I hooked up two of them and re-did my intake and it dropped my 1/8 mile time down a consistant .5 sec. I had the money to throw down on the experiment but I really don't think it would do anything to a v8. There's just not enough pressure to do anything possitive. Maybe on a 4 banger you'd notice something more. Kinda fun to mess with though
