    Electric Superchargers

    Are they as hopeless as I think they are?

    Completely pointless

    I can however sell you something that to the naked eye looks like 2x PC fans and a Argos induction kit - But between you and me (I dont want to give the secret away) It'll add at least 10-15bhp without even being wired up

    + Ill sell to miggers for this one time offer of £49.99

    YES

    £49.99

    Dont delay - Buy one today !!!! . . . . .

    Western union please - In the name of the price of Nigeria

    Ideally anyway - Sadly in my hometown the king has no western union available to himself

    However if you send it to his personal friends address "Big Joe Douchbag in Wexford" then I shall make sure he gets it

    Pm sent with details

    An intercooler isn't needed, simply set the device to "cold blow".

    Ive already beat you too it and am currently running 700bhp from an otherwise standrd 16v, I plan to add an Ecotek valve and a performance resistor later in the year.
    Couldn't think of anything good to put in here.

    Like its stolen
    Electric superchargers genuinely DO increase WOT economy.

    (by making your car less powerful, lol)

    If I get a custom manifold made up (my mate Big Simon is ace at papier-mache, I'm sure he could knock me something up from loo-rolls), can I use more than one? I mean... like one per cylinder?

    Can these be used with my ebay resistor too? I mean... I want to add horsepowers, not take them away!

    What do you think I'd get from my diesel? It's 82bhp standard, so with four of your superchargers, I should get at least 142bhp???

    No but apparently your car mats will fall out the floor when driving hard.

    hmm? when i buy my cheap runaround we'll get all this stuff and rolling road test it. i think the combined total power on a mk3 astra td should be around 400bhp. well get they silly stck on shark fins like the evos have to keep it stable.

    Stupid Skyline owners, if they really knew about mods, they'd be sticking these things all over their cars, the limitless potential of an electric supercharger.
