Default Flame on! Electric Supercharger part 2!

I know you are about to flame on so do so its ok.
BUT, I was thinking of trying this out. It has a lifetime satisfaction gurarantee. Also its very cheap. Also you can return it for your money back.
I'll be a guini pig if you all think I should try it.

I emailed them and this is what they told me.

Hi Richard,

We do have a supercharger and performance chip to fit the 350z and it
is in stock.

Our superchargers work on highly advanced technology new to the
industry. It works by compressing air using a centrifugal turbine. The
results are more horsepower and torque for minimal price.

Extraneous sources have tested our units in lab, and have reported
information as follows:

Air Pressure : 1.256 PSI
Air Flow : 856 CFM
Power Consumption : 765 Watts
Spooling Rate : 27500 RPM
Size : 4"x4"x4"


Customer reports have shown that vehicle has given 33-34 HP and 22-23
FT/LBS gains on average when using our supercharger and performance
chip.

They have been designed to do the very efficiently.

We offer a lifetime satisfaction guarantee on all of our products here
at North End Tuning. No harm will ever been done to your engine by
installing our products. If you ever have a problem with our products,
you can just send them back for a refund.

I think you will need a tune for that to work. also other ricers that actually have stuff like this only use it for a short amount of time since they drain your batery real fast.

well since your testing them... what will happen if you bought 5 of those things and put them back to back or have a multi intake tube with them bolted on.....

so what happens when the batteries die? Do you go really rich or do you just replace and recharge the batteries all the time?

LOL Those wont work, those cheapo electric "superchargers" are made for boats to vent exhaust gas out of the engine compartment, from an inboard motor so the boat doesnt burn down. I have a link with several to choose from. Have fun when the plastic blades come off and get stuck in your engine.

here this one almost looks like a turbo, maybe you can put it on and trick retards into thinking you really do have a turbo.

What's the output of the stock alternator? That thing is probably going to draw well over 50 amps.

Sigh.... I don't know how many times people need to hear this: BOOST ISN'T CHEAP! Please post a before and after dyno just for the books. Hopefully then people will stay away from crap like this.

The theory behind this is sound. Electric motors are capable of many things. You'll probably need an altenator upgrade and maybe even twin batteries. But if we can ear drum killing sound systems running an electric motor should be possible.


RAM AIR worked and that was just using air off the hood.
