Biggazvr6 0 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Right, here goes. Not sure if this is in the correct section or not. I've read alot of stuff about these eBay electric superchargers. Some say they don't work, waste of money. On the other hand they claim they work. I'm open minded so I've ordered one. A good friend of mine has a rolling road so I'm going to perform some back to back testing on the rollers to set the record straight. They supposedly supply 3-4 psi of boost. Theorectically the MAff should compensate the fuel for the potential boost at that boost level. I'll probably wire it so it comes in on full throttle rather than an on or off switch.So I await my delivery with anticipation. Im guessing it won't work but we'll see what happens.Stay tuned............. Link to post Share on other sites

Biggazvr6 0 Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I think a leaf blower maybe slight more aggressive than a electric supercharger! Fueling will be checked during the experiment and it will be aborted if tolerances are not acceptable. Link to post Share on other sites

Biggazvr6 0 Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Thing is tho mark, has anyone ever done any real testing. I'm not saying it will work, or that I'll leave it on if it does, it's purely and simply a tester! Thanks for your obvious support tho from one home modder to another!

bungy 2 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I'm not saying anything for or against although I do have my own views on the subject. I do find it strange that this has to be a re-occuring subject and i'm sure will be repeated many times in the future. Good luck with your testing. Link to post Share on other sites

russj249 2 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Any update with this? Very keen to see the results, any problems benifits etc.as a lot of people do, i have my reasons to believe these won't work, but I can't back anything up until tested otherwise.

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Fair play to you, it will finally put this subject to bed, or open up a can of worms depending on the outcome of the rolling road sessions.I think wew ill turn this into FAQ once we know the answer for sure Pete Link to post Share on other sites
