    Electric superchargers. The cheap crap.

    I've been thinking this morning and i cant see any reason why this wouldnt work.

    It sucks more air in. I dont want one but can someone explain why this doesnt work?

    Think of the size of the motor you would need to force that air in to the engine, and then think about the drain that would cause on the charging system in turn a drain on the power the engine produces in the first place. Plus the weight of such a motor. Get a proper supercharger if you really want one.

    The theory is sound but putting into practice is another matter.

    a turbo can put 30psi into a pipe with a hole at the end, the electic superchargers can produce 1psi into a closed pipe if that makes sense

    If you buy one, you may as well fit 4 dump valves and tickle the carb top with your tounge whilst poking your cock in a pint glass.
