I've seen these DIY supercharger bolt on kits and i'm actually considering giving it a shot to improve my track time. I mean i'm open minded to trying new things but i'm still skeptical about this so-called 80hp gain mod.

Has anyone had the ***** to try this "revolutionary" bolt-on supercharger?LOL. I've done a little research on it and from what i've read it won't damage your engine, require any tuning, or affect your emissions. It's activated by a switch or trigger that last for under 30sec which is ideal for a 1/4 mile drag race.

I mean if it is as good as they claim it is why not give it a shot? It should cost under $240 shipped which is just a mere fraction of a Kinetic IM that only offers 14hp gain.

So members before you decide to let this "discussion" turn into a "debate or UFC" event,know that you're not obligated to comment on this thread

 

No, don't waste your money. Do some research this thing is not a supercharger by any means. This is nothing but a glorified air cone with an obstruction that will actually impede air flow to your engine.

 

Isn't the purpose of the fan to force air at a higher vilocity than the regular intake? So you're saying an actual intake will draw in more air than this supercharger kit?

I mean "they say" that it's dyno proven so i'm just curious to know if ther is anyone out there who was bored enough to try it.

 

If that is all that kit includes then that is a rip-off. A supercharger is more or less an air pump driven by the engine that forces more air into your engine. That little fan is not gonna force more air into the engine or increase the amount of air the engine can suck in.

Modding a car gone wrong http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=VjE3NjDdfts and @ 3:55 is an example of the obstruction. These guys don't know what the hell they are doing.

 

agreed. dont waste your money on that. Even if it does increase airflow it will increase HOT air into the engine which wont help at all anyways

 

The *****? No, no one has had the ***** since your a ballsy guy why don't you try it?

 

That's a totally different one.That's just a vortex,this one is electronical with a powerful motor.Check it out

All that thing's doing is obstructing the air going into the manifold which will give you a decrease in power.

Imagine if that thing broke apart in there

 

what if i said i saw a test on one of these type contraptions and it actually did increase air volume going to the manifold?... like significant enough to possibly see maybe a 5whp gain lol... ill still pass though hahahahahahaaaaaa

 

I would have to ask you, how tiny was that motor?

 

I just lost all respect for you

 

i have been looking at these gismo's for a while now. mechanically it should work, i think they are only saying it produces a lb or two of pressure, this would increase and thrust air into the engine, right? So in essence it is doing the same thing as a huffer would be doing.

So whos going to get one and be the guinea?

I am waiting for someone to engineer a supercharger for these 6th gens.

 

That **** is funny///

 

No, its just a fan its not going to do anything except obstruct the intake pathway. There is no way that thing can compress air, look at it.

 

I guess nobody has anything good to say nor is there one person who have any experience with it. Who knows I might just try it and do a dyno run with and without it,also at the track with and without it.

Start reading. You should be the guinea pig.

 

That was one of the funniest things I've ever read

 

Nobody will get one but if you want to test it out and do dynos with it....GO FOR IT...no butt dynos please....GL....

 

Lol, a brushed motor! That will burn up fast. Don't waste your money. Probably a 12t 550 motor if that.

 

 

Well I doubt i'll do it now. Seems like it's more a money grabber than something force induction mod.

 

Bro, save your money and do a real super charged build. This thing looks like a total EPIC waste of time and an even more EPIC fail. My boy had a supercharged 4th gen pushing 17lbs of boost daily. Can that little "fan" do that? lol Cmon son!!

 

I have no intentions in doing a supercharge or turbocharge. That's about a 5-8K done right and another 3-5K to rebuild the tranny. If i'm gonna add that much power i'd have to rebuild the engine too, so for that reason i'm sticking with the bolt on's.

My car isn't brand new so putting power to strain the engine and tranny is just asking for it. But thanks for the heads up

 

Np man, but truth is you gotta play to play. If you want power, do SSIM, Port n polish manifolds, Nwp spacers, custom intake (3") and a Vafc tune, otherwise dont believe the hype.

 

So far I have the light weight crank pulley,CAI,red top optima battery,catback exhaust,my 5pc spacer kit and BOP will be here any day now,timing advance and i'll get the racingline y-pipe by spring. So I should be doing much better times come spring.

Still have to tune it up because my car engine light came on last night and i've lost the acceleration. The members told me it's most likely the Mass Air Flow Sensor

 

I said it first

 

HAHAHAHA..... Nope.

 

That's a knock off! They have actual electric superchargers, you will never find one that cheap tho. My buddy was running one on a sentra Ser... He seen some nice gains with some tuning but it's nothing like belt driven or exhaust driven forced induction. Look for a stillen kit if you really have the need for speed

 

^^ you, dont bump old threads. Your bump was useless, we all know what you are doing in making random posts to up your post count

 

Dude, chill out.
Your not a mod so quit bashing guys for posting every chance you can. He was just responding to a thread that was just created last month. Its not like its over a year old.

 

That's not new or "revolutionary", that products been ripping off people for at least 9-10 years now.

 

this, I remember seeing these years ago at autozone.

 

Yup, total pice of crap. It was like a thin blade made out of sheet metal. LOL

 

Do it, it works. My car saw 100whp actually. Its great.

 

how is it running naow?

 

A real vortech SC for our gen is very expensive. I lucked out and found a used system. Cant blame ppl for trying to find a cheaper option
