Do some searching on this forum and you'll find a similar thread. No, it doesn't work.

 

they are all crap. the only ones with any credit to them is the E-Ram, and i believe the other name is EL Prototypes. the ELP one is a few grand, and a PITA to install, and the E-Ram is a few hundred bucks for a few HP. not worth it in the long run. stick to regular mods.

 

All of them are gimmicks.......
Notice the one guy used his, and now he's selling it (says he used it 27 times)......that's how long it took him to find out he got burnt.
Notice the wording in another one of the adds......"This is better than nitrous with no effects on the engine in any way." Exactly, NO EFFECTS IN ANY WAY! This means you feel nothing at all, except stupid, for believing in one.

 

Oh god, we're back to these questions again...

 

they work, but youd prolly get a better gain if you put a garden hose on yer IM and blow into it every once in a while

 

I saw on Homemade Turbo.com where they made one and they actually experienced a loss in power. I looked around on the net and couldn't find one dc powered fan small enough to fit under the hood that had the output that they are claiming.

Correct me if I am wrong but at higher rpm's your engine is pulling ~ 400 CFM of air. So those dinky little inline fans would have to produce more than that. As a comparison, those squirrel cage fans that run AC units in houses- 1.5 HP prouces ~ 500 CFM. You do the math.

 

Somethin like that, just don't buy into one.

 

I search somewhere on the internet and some dude made one and tested on his civic hatch and said that he lost power instead of gaining.

 

what a joke,

they are all crap, Street Sniper's comment is perfect logic, you'd have to have a fan as big as the one for your household AC unit if not bigger under your hood to make any noticeable changes
