A TOY fan in the intake tube is NOT a supercharger.
This thing is designed like $4!@ and simply cannot, will not, ever never ever give any positive manifold boost. If the manifold were to actually take any positive pressure, by the laws of physics, the boost will simply come out past the toy fan and out the air filter.

SNAKE OIL!!!!!

I love how the seller claims he's the "only licensed seller" of that p.o.s.! hahah I feel bad for the people that actually fall for stuff like that! Notice the awesome graph and how the y has no unit of measurement. classic!

its a torque/ power gained graph. so at the given RPM he gained that much ft-lb or HP. he probably did it like that so he could scale the y axis to make the respective increases look larger.

It looks like a motorized tornado. The thing that was supposed to spin the air in your intake to increase power/mpg

Good grief.
Sucks that people in the world take advantage of people like that.
I guess it's things like this that force people to become educated though right?

I remember the tornado. Complete bullS*** and not a damn bit of power added.

Here is another complete BS snake oil utter waste of money: Magnetic Fuel Savers!
Straight from China, this thing is promised to save gas by "causing clusters of hydrocarbon molecules to separate."
http://www.ecrater.com/p/10010641/un...-saver-for-all

WHAT!!!!????????

Gasoline molecules are not Polar Ionic like the way water molecules are!
And even if they were, the hydrocarbon chains are so long that they cannot rotate as freely like water molecules!
Or you would have to be creating so much damn magnetic flux that only a super electro-magnet can create!

A super electro-magnet capable of manipulating gasoline hydrocarbons would have to be so strong that it could levitate a frog! Magnets as powerful as these will literally pull rings off you fingers, tear your belt buckle off your belt, and you could be standing 25ft away!

There is no way a magnetic fuel saver from China is going to save you gas.

No, no! It worked JIM.
It's just that... it precipitated global warming at an alarming rate.

It has been reported that the engine made 318 bhp at 11,000 rpm and redlined at 14,000 rpm. It was composed of metal cylinder sleeves, metal combustion chamber tops, metal piston crowns, bearings, valves and seats, and a stock 2.3L Pinto crankshaft. Nearly everything else in the engine, including the block, rods and piston skirts, were made of Torlon thermoplastic resins manufactured by Amoco Chemicals Co. The motor was never put into a vehicle."
