Electric Supercharger

[MyztikRacing]

does anyone know anything about electric superchargers??? are they any good or as good as a regular supercharger?? plz help me out.. thanks

 

[zville00SI]

never heard

 

[MyztikRacing]

check em out... ill find a link and post it

 

[kellog]

nope, they are not good nor worth the money.

Never heard of one that actually works. Actually it's not a bad idea, having forced induction that can be switched off but I'm afraid that the parasitic drain through the charging system to move any substantial amount of air would be greater than that of an actual supercharger. You ain't gettin' somefin fo nuthin.

how much would a regular supercharger cost?

 

[Sound Streamin']

Oh s**t, not this again. DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE. First of all, there is NO way in hell that an electric fan can spin hard enough to push any more air than your engine is already sucking in. Some body soemwhere did a test on one of these, and they found that all they do is block the air path and take away horse power.

They are a gimmick that stupid people buy. Don't be stupid and don't buy one.

 

[MyztikRacing]

well wut would a reg. supercharger cost for a 96 civic??

 

[baby99si]

eh hem they are s**t do not get it, ummm like 2000 or something for jrsc not sure though i know you can get a turbo kit for like 1000

 

[loccusst]

Don't buy these stupid things. Get a real one starting around $2469 for jackson racing or get the edelbrock turbo kit wich comes so complete even my 10 year old could do it.

 

[baby99si]

SOHC jrsc are 2500?

f**k i hope not! when you can find a greddy turbo kit for around a grand and see much more impressive times..... sc's are ass on sohc's.

if you're going to buy one of the electric sc's then just give me the money and i'll send you a "tornado intake" those things kick ass compared the electric superchargers

Yeah that is waht i was thinking there is no way they cost that much, and if they do that is f**ken rediculous or however you spell it. Greddy would be your best bet to put on without really haveing to do anything else f**k JRSC

 

[anfrey]

you will probably not find a greddy turbo kit for a grand. maybe for around $1600, then you have to get a fmic and bov and spend on fuel management. if you can find a greddy kit for a grand, LET ME KNOW WHERE.

 

[baby99si]

Look for a used one, they are everywhere for very cheap saw one on clubsi or honda-tech cant remember which with everything except bov for 700.

Best prices i found brand new were here www.city-speed.com

 

[anfrey]

well a used kit is possible, but u have to watch out for issues with the internal wastegate, the actuator may be fuct

 

[baby99si]

oh i know i wouldnt buy a used one, god knows what happened to it and how it was driven. I was just saying i hae seen them for damn cheap. You can probably put a custom kit together for 1000 dollars though, i just didnt feel like mentioning that.

 

[loccusst]

Open up a summit racing catalog and there is the price for a super charger from jackson racing. You only get like 52 more horse power on a si. Carefull on the used turbos.

 

[baby99si]

Or go on there website, i think its a waste of money if your only looking at 40 to 50 more hp for that much money, i dont see why you wouldnt just turbo it.
