hill_bill10 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 just wondered if they are any good? my mates been looking into them, i wasnt too keen at first but after looking into it it doesnt look to bad as long as you buy a decent one.also do they need a air flow meter for them to work? therefore rendoring them useless on a starlet os it has a MAP sensor instead.anyone got any knowledge on these?

ep91face Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 waste of money google "electric superchargers" and scam or rip off after it and youl see just what theyre worth, apparently most dont even create enough air to compensate for the power drain it takes to run them.

nastyrash 2003 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 yep thy bad news, u need a 50V battery at least to get any kind of air movment that will give u any kind of gains. plus with thm having a fan with bearing taking up most of the intake track the air it moves just gives u back the air lost by this restriction plus if the fan or bearing fails than into the engine it goes. if it could be done then it would be on production car. look into CO2 cooling for N/A thy work better, or noz. or a sprintex screw type charger have fitted 1 of these to a civic type r and gives the best low down booste of any supercharger and is so neat and compact its un true plus u do not need to run a intercooler as it does not compress the air or add heat. I lov um lots thy sexy.hope this sheds som light chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hill_bill10 Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 cheers guys, from what ive read and seen in videos they looked the part. my thoughts are maybe they need a MAF sensor to work? and with the starlet havin a MAP sensor it doesnt have one, maybe thats why it didnt make much difference adz? bin looking into nos too, doesnt look to hard to do tbh just quite expensive.
