Re: Serious Question.

No, nobody here has it, or will ever buy one of those ebay scams. This is not a serious question.

Re: Serious Question.

to spin the blower motor takes power. to get the power means using the alternator more which takers power away from the engine and since nothing is 100% efficent you will lose power at the alternator, and at the blower as heat. got it?

Re: Serious Question.

if your talking bout the cheap ones on ebay uhrm yeah dunt tink so... they blow what 350cfm? if u ask me if its not measured in psi its not feasable.. iv seen somethin called a e-ram however.. but like 1stgen said it draws power and runs the alt. the eram gives u a proven 1 psi and i think i heard on a stock civic 1.5 it was like 8 hp on the dyno or something. but that also has a 700 watt 55 amp engine.. so thats gonna have ur alternator on overdrive.. meaning its gonna suck whatever power it makes right back out through the alt. id just play it safe and go the 16g route

lol it doesnt have to be measured in psi to work... 350cfm is more air flow than the stock T25 has! so it might work, never tried it, would be interested in seeing how it works but you would definately need an upgraded fuel system!
