My cousin bought a crappy electric supercharger the other day, and I must say it looks like a piece of crap. There is no way these things can work, right?[/align]

 

correct

 

Do a search on this site for Electric "Supercharger" or check this thread out: https://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_64298/tm.htm

 

how could it work.. or atleast work and really do much more then like .000001hp.

 

pardon my laziness, as im sure that ive said it before, but there are SOME that do work.

Thomas Knight makes a kit, but it is just as expensive as a normal supercharger setup.

A friend of mine sells e-charger kits on ebay, and he sells a ton of them. He has even had people send in dyno sheets showing gains. Just out of curiosity, I put one on my stratus, and compared to the stock air box, the gtech showed gains...not huge gains, but it is a cheap upgrade.

 

first time ive heard positive about this subject, lol

 

Adding power with an electric supercharger desn't really make sence due to the losses in the electrical system. I guess if it was used in bursts like NOS it could add power when running off the battery but a true "supercharger" setup doesn't make any sence to me.

 

I agree with patrick. Some actually work.. but not by much.

 

It works kinda in the way straping a leaf blower onto your intake does.. but not as well

 

Forcing air into the motor without a tune FTW!!!!!
