an electric supercharger that is not a joke!!!

[Ricochet]

What about power at an autocross track, road course, or any other kind of gas, brake, gas, brake, gas etc. racing? Sorry but I don't see it as a great use of money when just a little more could purchase one working all the time.

Then those people just wouldn't use the kit. This, turbos, and SC's all have their purpose.

Team KLR...u said that this product is not for hondas...then why are u posting it in the HONDA/Acura forum?? Just asking..not tryin to be a dick .

I want one. That link isn't working though.

I HATE the idea of the constant drag of a supercharger and quite frankly don't want my engine ripped to pieces installing a complicated and hefty turbo system. Not only will it add weight with the intercooler, but installation will be murder and I'll have to mess with the delicate balance of the intake and exhaust of the integra type r I'm about to get. This quick boost will mean I wont have to upgrade the internals because the boost is in very short bursts. More importantly, I won't have to add a permanent fixture to my engine that will damage it every time it engages, and I won't have to mess with the perfect intake and exhaust. I'm a believer!

Now fix the link.

You're a moron. Turbos easily bolt right up and add less weight than swapping in your overpriced itr engine. They don't tear up your engine unless you abuse the power and run more boost than it can handle, which idiots like you probably would.

This quick boost will mean I wont have to upgrade the internals because the boost is in very short bursts.

Probably the most retarded thing I've ever read in my life. You're still boosting, and if this kit doesn't bump the fuel when engaged, all it is is a fuse to your engine ready to blow. If it DOES bump fuel, a short burst of boost is still boost, and if your internals can't handle the pressure it will break whether the shot lasts 2 seconds or 15.
And wtf are you talking about a delicate balance of the intake and exhaust..? wtf? Please stab yourself with a lead pencil.

Hmmm...thats all i have to say. You may want to look into buying a air driven spindle that runs at 150,000 RPM's and go from there. Dont go electric..thats just my worthless 2 cents on this one.

[HyperS]

Ricochet, how much more does it cost to get a turbo setup with the ability to turn it off at a moments notice, only to switch it on at the last minute!? A lot. And don't give me this "all you have to do is modify the yackity fuckwhat". Large boosts in a very short space of time will harm the engine, BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT THAT A TURBO THAT IS A PERMANENT 'ON' FIXTURE OF THE CAR WILL. The electric will let me engage this 'boost' right from the word go and make up the lag before the v-tec kicks in, which I CANNOT DO WITH A NORMAL TURBO. THIS IS ALSO CHEAPER, AND GIVE ME THE REQUIRED BOOST, AS OPPOSED TO INSTALLING AN OVERKILL TURBO, JUST TO LIMIT ITS ABILITY BECAUSE I WOULD NOT THEN OR EVER WANT TO INCREASE THE BOOST.

Put that in your turbo and inhale.

[Ricochet]

omfg... why would you ever want to turn a turbo off? You're using retarded arguments, sounding like you work for them and really trying to sell it or somehting. This fake blower kit costs $4,000 right? A Greddy turbo costs $1,600, and mods to make it run perfectly reliable would probably tack on another grand or so. Boost starts rolling in around 3000 rpms, way before vtec. You're fighting a losing battle man, if these blowers were so much better don't you think you'd see them featured all over magazines and aftermarket part sites?

[CivicEXRider]

I'll agree with Richocet on this one. Obviously this guy has no clue about turbo's. Why do you think so many car's come from the factory with turbo's? It's power on demand. It'll only give boost when needed... IE. you step on the gas harder than normal. I can drive all day long and never see anything over 0 psi.

Boost in quick spurts isn't going to help your motor at all. Sudden changes IE.. N20 tend to tear stuff up more than gradual hp gains throughout the RPM range.

A good example... Take a hammer and push it against your head. Next hit yourself in the head with the hammer. Let me know which one hurts more..

[tran_nsx]

an electric supercharger that work in spurts? no thanks. if i wanted a supercharger, i would have just got the the real thing, that way my power is always constant, instead of waiting it to be recharged. how is this going to benefit me? superchargers applications are better for autocross, due too their decrease of lag, but what i don't need is my power to just die after 15 or so sec. and be recharge.

[ra227]

I agree w/ you tran_nsx its a waste of money...and Ricochet w/ the stabing w/ the lead pencil On a side note I actually saw this product in a magazine, only an ad, not a cover story or anything so someones giving them money. Oh Yeah Hyper S just stop talking...

[96Civ]

Hey, I have an idea! Put that Electric supercharger to good use, and put it on a Hybrid! They need all the help they can get.

And hell no, get that ES The HELL away from meyh car!!

[doug294]

I think I somewhat understand what he is saying about it isn't for everyone. I couldn't get the link to work but I was thinking this. I have a 91 Honda Civic. I am going to rebuild my motor for low compression and I already have a turbo setup. Now when I am done with my motor I will probably run about 20 psi when racing. Now with my built engine running 20 psi and I am racing, say I need that little extra push. If I kicked this in it would give you that extra power you need. 70 hp...I could spend $400 on nitrous and get 100hp easy with the push of a button. If these could sell for about $300-$500 they would be a good deal. $4000 is really waht is holding this thing back. I'll tell you what I'll do, send me one and I will put it on and let everyone on here know how it works out LOL..it was worth a try. Anyways, that's just my view, I could be wrong.
