Hey guys, has anyone ever put one of those electic superchargers they sell on ebay on a max? i bet it doesnt make a noticeable difference....but i was just curious.

 

Yea it added 250hp and 5 ft/lbs tq. Such a great mod, better than a real supercharger. Now when i pop my hood everyone goes "daaamn you got a supercharger", im so cool now.

 

Me too. I know it won't make an difference in terms of all out horsepower, but from what I read, it helps when accelerating (if the ECU is designed for that).

I've read that if the ECU is designed for it, the best use is...it'll turn on the electric supercharger for 1-2 seconds to help out power when the car/truck accelerates. You have to realize, electrically...there isn't enough power to drive a motor for long periods of time at super high speeds. Unless of course, we all convert to nuclear powered cars and what not. I've read it's mostly used in long haul trucks and what not. It's just a small helper in saving fuel...utilizing a small amount of reserve electrical power to push the combustion process along.

 

hahahahahahaha

It's on the first page of the bloody FAQs

 

hehe..I realize this, but in terms of saving 3% gas with a properly engineered ECU and electric supercharger, it's worth studying. Especially for 100+ gallon long haul trucks. Just some food for thought.

 

you guys crack me up... in a good way. thanks~ I needed that today.

 

Stop Modding The Electric Supercharger.......no

 

are you serious?

 

ha wth peepz in here talkin about lol

 

175 posts and you still havnet read the FAQ's, its time to spend an hour to do that, this thread got more responses than wheni had problems lastnight when my car woulndt start. its posts like these that probably push my thread to the bottom.

 

there should be a new rule if you post this question your autmatically banned.

 

I agree. We have three of these on the 1st page right now...two by the same person.

 

Now now, seriously though.

I took the heating element out of my hairdryer and hooked that up to my intake. The results were incredible. It took 4 seconds off my quarter mile and it raised my top speed to 180 MPH. No joke. Of course I needed a power inverter to make the hairdryer work in my car but it's a small price to pay. I can blow the doors off Corvettes now. I'll do a write up when I get a chance. Don't buy it off eBay, your hairdryer motor has plenty of power.

Of course for ultimate results, if you have time, use a leaf blower motor and for fuel tie it in to your cars fuel line. It's like a supercharger with nitrous. Sick results. And you'll LOVE the intake sound you get. Talk about a growl.

 

bah, no courage in science. what's wrong with free power?

 

i feel the same way.. the important threads get overlooked for bull**** like this.. be for real... i couldnt get my ****ing car to start last week and my thread only had 2 replies but dumb *** threads like this and "should i put an STI wing on my car" gets the most attention.. ban guys like this.. 175 post. read the goddam stickies.

 

people are so bright. an electric supercharger..........thats funny
