garethr Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Some articles which explain just how much power is required for forced induction: http://www.autospeed.com/cms/article.html?&A=0237 http://www.autospeed.com/cms/article.html?&A=1250 http://www.turbomagazine.com/tech/0406tur_knight_turbo_electric_supercharger/index.html (this comes up so often it should be in the FAQs ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 How many threads do we need about these things? I don't see how anyone can seriously think they'd work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShamelessTT Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 2bh i bet that plastic fan in time would fall to bits and go str8 into ur engine, esp on high performance engines with lots of sucky sucky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I think their designed for N/A engines arent they, dunno how much gain you would get out of forcing a small amount of air into a N/A engine but people seem to buy it, just looked at the sales that Ebay had made and people have bought them for their Astra's etc and give good feedback of extra power felt, but at a claim of gaining an extra 20bhp, I wonder how much of that is the placebo effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 a claim of gaining an extra 20bhp, I wonder how much of that is the placebo effect about 25 bhp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 about 25 bhp Lol, so that plus a little bit more then...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
