Thoughts on a Electric Supercharger?

[pfifer]

Anyone every use one of these on the 4.0L? The price is not bad, seems better than getting a 6000+ kit.

Heres the link:

no really Prepare to get flamed in this thread. Do a quick web search and you will learn real quick, an elctric SC cannot work for an automotive application. That tiny motor cannot compress enough air.

Might as well try to fab up a supercharger from a leaf blower.

I saw one on youtube or one of those vid sites... lol

almost pee'd my pants, they really believed it was helping... must been the two stroke fumes that weren't getting out of the back seat.

Actually it's a bilge vent fan for a boat. It will move air, not compress it. I thought I'd seen the last of these type threads when I stopped checking in to the BMW forced induction page.

well maybe it'll cool the intake air a bit... lol

that's as bad as the AIT mod using a resister to make the computer think the intake air is freezing.

they are junk, i knew a guy that bought one of the doubble stacked ones and it did basicly nothing.

[Jamzjeep]

Don't flame the guy. He had a question and now he's educated on it. That's what this forum's for.
Better he came here than buying the dam thing.

wow. you can't be serious.

[mightydog78]

is this an air conditioning upgrade?

[Greg_Volkman]

it produces roughly 250 CFM

well, given the fact that a 4.0L probably sucks 400-550 CFM, I would think that would be a bad thing.


The simple bottom line of an electric supercharger is that for one to actually work, it would require an electric motor big enough to suck more energy from the engine than it would produce.

They are snakeoil.

I'm thinking about doing twin leaf blowers myself:
