Honestly, those things never really get my attention, it's crap. Suggest a true intake system for your car like Weapon R for example.

Actually, it's the fan off a leaf blower with a 12v electric motor on it.

You'd get the same results by sticking a PC fan in your intake tube. Since it's just a 12V blower it only runs on one speed, you'll get the same air at idle as you do WOT. This just screams disaster, but if anyone has the $200+ laying around give it a try.

Those stupid things act more as a wind block than an actual booster. I believe my friend tried this on his Hyundai and he LOST 3 hp. Not to mention is sounds really really stupid. Imagine a hair dryer inside of your engine. So not cool.

However, if you have a really strong alternator, you can probably effectively use a heavy duty leaf blower with a variable throttle in conjunction with your gas pedal to jump your car about 20-30 hp depending if your injectors can take it. Some guy did this to his S10 and jumped it from something like 180 hp to 225. But his car was on a dyno and the leaf blower was plugged in.

Compressors compress, blowers blow, not that hard. That POS, is indeed, a blower.

few problems with this.
1. are u serious? its like asking if the temperature chips that add 50 hp really work.
2. what REAL vendor uses geocities? i mean if u cant afford to buy a real domain with your own address whats the point?
3. an ELECTRIC turbo? just hook up a 120mph leaf blower to a pipe that leads to your intake and just turn it on when u want the extra power.

there actually is an electric super charger for cars. its good. it works in short runs [you turn it on when needed] because of the power it consumes. its it worth while? I think the best isthe turbocharger. and nearly all ''electric supercharger'' are rip off crap

have a look at this guys. dont even bother looking at those leaf blowers, its a failiure.

there are some out there that acually work but its not as good as you might think. maybe 8-10 hp at best.

....rubbish
pure rubbish...


turbo works off exhuast gases
this POS however is an air compressor attached to a 12V power source that acts like a leaf blower or fan adding air into your intake...its bogus rubbish

save your money and buy a nice intake brotha
CP-E makes a nice MAFci tunable intake for the newer VVTi 1mz (2002-2006) and the non-VVTi 1mz (1994-1998) that is good for 10hp

hahahaha. the amout of power it would take to turn that thing to even make 4 lbs of boost...it would flat your battery.

ya i figured they would be ****
but i dont fell like spending that much money on a turbo
but its probaly worth it in the long run

you guys are dead wrong. the electric supercharger exists. like i said, most things, and im thinking ebay, are just gimmicks.
