Electric supercharger

My cousin bought a crappy electric supercharger the other day, and I must say it looks like a piece of crap. There is no way these things can work, right?

Utter waste of time.
If these items were good i'm pretty sure that most car manufacturers would think about using them.

After he's fitted it you might like to point out the electric dump valves also on Ebay.

Fantastic bit of kit.

No really, convincing people to part with £100 for f*ck all is fantastic

Basically its like installing a mini fan halfway down your induction pipe, and let it blow air, To be honest I cant see how this will make a bit of difference, but the idiots in the Nova's have got something to brag about with the 1.2 Supercharged Nova!!!!!

it must work - they've even put a trade mark against the equation...
more air + more fuel = more power.

If the scolls on the conventional supercharger span the way the showed, it would suck air out of your engine

Awesome, they even list a fitment for my 300ZX TT. Now I can have turbos AND a supercharger

Comments:
a). For future installations in 911's...send less green wire and more power red wire
b). Tell those when testing their car...hold on to the steering wheel when accellerating...my hands almost came off the steering wheel when the eRAM kicked in due to the unexpected power! I will send pictures and additional information. Let me know where to send the info to!!!

I thought scrolls compressed what was there as they met in the middle?

No, the fluid of any gear pump travels round the outside. the closing of the scrolls in the middle seals the 2 sides providing the non-return action which allows pressure to be built.
