Do you think these actually work?

[Ad172UK]

I have no desire to buy one due to the price tag and the fact that i'm after a pipercross viper.

But curiosity has got the better of me so i thought i'd ask people on here if they think it's possible that this may work?!?!

Oh yeah, good for an easy 20bhp!

No, seriously, they are s**t

 

[sideways danny]

be quite funny to try one if it was £20 not £200. Complete waste of money IMO

 

[Ad172UK]

As i thought. Saying that. Its probably only about £20 to knock it up!

Ive got a cheap universal induction kit off my old 206. I might knock one up, sell it for £150 (Under cutting is business :rasp and then with the £130 i could buy more supplies and eventually ill have enough for a full manifold, downpipe, sports cat and cat back exhaust system - LMAO

Its a fan on an air filter, so a complete waist of money. How many production cars have these? None.

 

[ditz]

on a serious note though i wonder if an electric supercharger could actually be done

i mean in theory, i dont see why you couldn't gear one of these brushless motors to turn a fan quick enough to produce positive pressure

must be some draw back to it or somebody would have done it


but yeah selotaping a computer fan to your airfilters a cracking idea

 

[franx]

But this one has a real dumpvalve !! for the extreme overpressures !!! it must be one of the new and improved shitty intake gadgets !!

omfg

 

[fossie]

These work well combined with the installation of a flux capacitor!!!

No, seriously, they are s**t

lol

 

[Mark One]

head down in shame.

It's a PC fan that blows like coughing mouse. Restrictive in most applications

 

[Ad172UK]

Just to point out

As before mentioned ive no intention of buying this just incase anyone feels i am about to buy one!

Just secured myself a pipercross viper tho

 

[mattjk]

I agree they probably are a waste of time but who has actually tried/tested one?

 

[Russ_16v]

i saw a magazine test one of these a few years ago on an MR2 and it made more power without it fitted, and get this:

when it was fitted it made more power turned off than turned on! lol

 

[Eckascliovalver]

I agree they probably are a waste of time but who has actually tried/tested one?

prob someone with lots of money and no brain!

 

[rich_1989]

i bet everyone who works at halfords owns one....... on there c***s!

 

[mx1_champ]

[SIZE=+0]Just want to say a big thank you to E.T.S uk as purchased the Generation 2 supercharger a few weeks ago and works like a charm could not believe the performance gain on my Honda civic 1.4i 16v(00) as if u own one u know its pretty laggy at the bottom end, but with this little puppy installed the pick up is superiorly increased… As in the cold I loose all front traction when I put my foot to the floor ( installed via a nos activation switch which activates at full throttle )[/SIZE]​

[SIZE=+0]Had a few little hic ups when first installed but spoke to E.T.S and they answered everything and had it fixed within minutes was very amazed at the knowledge and understanding these guys have as they’ve tinkered and tried everything imaginable and could answer anything u throw at them. All I will say as if u want a huge gain for little money then purchase one of these as im already considering upgrading to the generation 4 with a nos fueling system[/SIZE]

He loses front wheel traction on a 1.4 civic? Sign me up then!​
