does anyone have this installed or know antone who does/did?

 

I would say hell no.

 

Consistently using something like that will drain the battery.

 

It should have an on/off switch

 

I bet this works just the same as twin turbo's! huge power gains! Bahahaha This product is a JOKE! Dont waste your money.

 

It does, but thats still a lot of draw on the battery.

The only time I could see that thing being practical is trying to loose a tenth or two at the drag strip.

 

i have the turbonator.. my car is stupid fast now

 

Become "stupid fast" for only $15!!!

Ive got 4 and mine is insane fast now.

 

its true, you're stupid if you think its fast

 

Man... so 5PSI electrical supercharger??? Can I get two of them to put on each throttle bodies? Will that equal to 10PSI of boost????

OMFG I'm ordering mine RIGHT NOW!!!

 

Um, you guys do know that the Stillen hybrid Altima uses a vortech electric supercharger right? I've always thought if one could have batteries strong enough, it could work. Hybrids obviously have the battery power to support this.

 

^If our cars had the adequate juice to power one of these constantly, then I probably would have installed something similar to this. Stillen's hybrid, is that turbine capable of continuous operation without killing the batteries?

Honestly, I think the idea behind this is good but most cars today don't have the power requirements. Just imagine how efficient a turbo would be if it was powered by an electric motor.

 

never even heard of this before.

 

Vortec's superchargers are basically belt driven turbos. But in this case, it's an electrically driven turbo.

Considering how much amperage it takes to drive the wheels of a car, the power to drive a supercharger shouldn't be that hard to do.
