I know those are cack but is there any reason why it wouldn't work? All the principles seem to be OK but when people ask me why these are shit I can't explain because I don't fully know. Someone enlighten me

pani k...thats why i posted..if you get more air and the ECU can sense it and give more fuel it must give some benefit???...Or does the AFM curb the extra air?
..i have no idea on these things LOL.

a little lightweight fan that generates 120mph wind? general consensus is that these are no better than the air cooling fans you get in a pc and restrict airflow not improve it. whether thats true or not i have no idea as i have never seen one.

Its a bit like I use a spoon when I eat a dessert, but I would use a different implement for digging a swimming pool.
Im touched you read my threads in so much detail though

so its basically a crappy little fan that will never get any meaningful supply of air into the engine for shit.
LOL @ the dumbass comments though that it makes a huge difference!

Electric superchargers ready for production
Posted on Tuesday 1 April 2008
Current hybrid technology uses electrical energy stored in a battery to power an electric motor connected to an internal combustion to drive a car’s wheels, but there are other ways of harnessing electrical energy to help save fuel. Engineers are now developing a new system where electrical energy can be used to drive a supercharger to help aid the car’s engine during high-load conditions and thus conserve fuel.
Conventional superchargers are powered by a belt connected to the car’s engine. As more power is dialed up, the supercharger draws more and more power away from the engine and in turn burns more fuel.
UK firm Controlled Power Technologies (CPT) is now testing an electric supercharging system developed for small fuel-efficient engines being progressively introduced by carmakers to reduce vehicle CO2 emissions. Dubbed Variable Torque Enhancement System (VTES), the new system is ready for mass production and can be applied to all types of petrol and diesel engines including those already turbocharged.
Initial testing has shown that a 1.2L engine with an electric supercharger can provide the performance of a 2.0L motor, with typically a 40% improvement in acceleration times over a non-forced induction motor of the same size. For diesel engines, a near instant air supply enables delivery of high torque with minimal particulate emissions, helping to keep CO2 emissions low.
CPT has signed a deal with Switched Reluctance Drives Limited to start developing OEM units that will eventually appear in production cars. No release date has been given but given the desperation in the auto industry for cleaner and more fuel efficient cars the wait shouldn’t be long.

-it does work. you just need a larger fan......and NOS. american engineering, better and cheaper than british engineering.

A mate of mine works for fords as a mapper on the diesel engine side and theyve been gettign good results with eletric superchargers at the low end of the rev range (no peak power gains though), but obviously the motors are NOTHING like on a cooling fan like the ebay rubbish
