hahaha . i think the electric supercharger has been posted on here bout 9.8 million times. It dosent work. once you get going its just restriction in air flow. ther is a big differnce between a fan and a turbine.. Just always remember this with cars.. cause its almost always true. If you think you found a sweet deal and its way under the price of the normal part.. its not gonna perform for ****

I'd have to say do not buy it, but this on the other hand http://www.turbonator.com/ Yeah it is basically a electric version of that Tornado fuel thing. I wonder if that would actually help?

The other day (4 hours ago lol) i was on ebay and i came across this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...956189564&rd=1
Its an electric supercharger, and its perhaps the most oddball thing ive ever seen. If you read on it tells you how it works and how easy it is to install and that it gives serious rwhp numbers. I want to see what you all think of this, beacuse to tell you the truth, it seems like its worth it for 80 bucks even if it doesnt work right. I really am at a loss of words and want to see what you think
It would work on a civic or accord or something, but our mustangs suck so much air that the "supercharger" couldnt keep up, it would probly just be sucked into the intake manifold since it would act as a restriction. Heh, v8s are much cooler, try sticking a banana in your tailpipe and see what happens, just dont stand behind the car, lol.
It would not work on a four banger.

just no. Simply NO.

It creates NO positive boost. None. It takes more energy to turn the electric fan than it produces.

It WILL NOT WORK ON ANY ENGINE.

Period

I don't see that thing much boost if any. remember 4 won't increase pressure, it will increase the volume of air coming in. Your engine has to use power to pull in air, using something to help push air in will take away some of the work the engine has to do. But you also have to think the alternator will have to work harder to produce power to make them move, so I'm not sure which way is more efficient.
