Has anyone tried one of these or know if they work?

Yea right

 

The concept seems like it could work but I would sure like to see a dyno with a before and after.

 

Scam....250cfm isn't going to compress anything.

 

That is a joke.

 

Now if it were a leaf blower, that would be a different story!

 

I've seen a leaf blower on a Honda Civic!

Read reviews on these electric blowers before - they can often SLOW DOWN the incoming air because they can't spin fast enough to keep up.

To have an electric supercharger work effectively, you'd need a HUGE electrical feed and means for producing and storing this power. Not really practical.

 

Woah...never heard of these. I'm going to put that in the BS bin until I see dyno results or first-hand experience at least.

 

I am pretty sure that you can plan on leaving it the BS bin...

 

its definatley BS. Look on ebay and you will see this electric "supercharger" for many many cars...complete BS!

 

I figured it had to be BS. Hilarious all of the BS items for cars on Ebay.

 

Feel sorry for the fool who buys this. I hope he can afford a new motor!!!!!

 

try using a leave blower instead. lol jk dont try it only works for hondas. but dont even think about it it wont do anything for u

 

Not worth your money, and if you can afford a Lexus you shouldn't cheap out on the parts you put in or on the car. Vortech, Blitz, etc

 

These electric superchargers have been around for a while and all evidence points to them NOT delivering. They generally actiavte at WOT, and here is the kicker, when its not in use you have less power than you would otherwise becuase there is more restriction. When it does kick it, you lose even MORE power, quite possibly do to the extra drag on the alternator in addition to not nearly enough "boost" if you can even call it that.
