He braggs about the positive feed back,
but those were for clothes hangers, you
should read all the negative on the supercharger
I saw 1 + feedback, that was it

This is a scam, 500 CFM is too low and
there isn't any boost with it, POS stay away
and the dude is a Liein bastage

Looks like a repainted heater blower motor...aren't they $50.OO rebuilt and less in a P&P. I know poepe will try/buy anything this proves it. On the other hand gotta give em credit for making cash on nothing, it is a "free market". Happy holidays!!!

We talked about this some other time on this board.  Then they looked closer to leaf blowers.

It all basicly come down to you won't get any boost out of any electrical device.  It's just not practial

I wouldn't say you can't get any boost out
of an electric blower, but not that blower, a
squirrel cage  isn't designed to pressurize a
air charge, you need a radial flow fan, like in
a turbocharger.

Silly E-bay guy Squirrel cages are for hamsters  :P

I tend to agree that the squirrel cage type blower is useless in the application.

You mention a radial type fan blower.. There used to be a blower set up on ebay that used an inline blower and there was movies of this thing blowing a log across a garage floor.  If the CFMs and the pressure that the blower creates exceeds the intake on the engine would this not be beneficial to performance?

Not trying to defend anything here just thinking that there is some pretty powerful electric motors out there so wouldn't this work?

Volume, like a jet engine or that blower
that blew the log, is good, doesn't mean
it will boost, the fan might stall at little
pressure, and a motor to run that is going
to be heavy, and consume big amps, so
??? what's the point, put on a turbocharger
look ma, no wires  ;)
