Its also sold under the name "Tornado". Do a search in Tech and you'll find lots of info to help you determine if its right for you.

No man that dont work There is no "Cheap" S/C.....I have never had one or know any one who does but I just dont think that a 70 part can give you the 70 or so hp it says...I would think that it would hurt you more than help.... Have you ever had you air clear off while your car was running? I did one day while I was clean the engine bay just for a Sec or 2. If you put your hand on the intake hole it sucks really hard I just dont see that thing even keeping up with the air that already going in the engine.

yep bud sorry those are just not working... they don't compensate for the rpm at all... I mean superchargers and turbos increase flow as rpm increase.. not to mention that that is just an electric fan from a bilge pumpput on there which turbine characteristics are VERY different than a turbo or super.. These things have been running around for a while and unfortunately they are no good.. But I mean if somebody actually took the time to design one as a supercharger and programmed it and all then it would be interesting to see... but still I don't think many electric engines would be able to turn the turbine that fast so doubt it would work one way or the other.

If you had bothered to read the ad, it's not a supercharger at all. Says so in black and white. All it does if impart a swirl effect in the intake air to help the fuel atomization. As for if it actually does that, thats the 64,000 dollar question.

Still didn't click on the link did you? How'd you get thru school without cracking a book? There's NOTHING in the ad on that link that mentions ANYTHING about electric motors.

Its a stainless steel fan that goes inside the air intake hose and sometimes on top of the carb when the air hits it it suppose to turn and as it does swirl the air as it goes in the carb. Sounds good on paper but doubt if it actually does anything.

It's just a piece of sheetmetal cut and bent into fins, the fins are supposed to make the air swirl, which is supposed to better mix the air and fuel. NOTHING MOVES! lol

No, those don't work, but there are cheap superchargers out there... if you consider $450 cheap. I scored a vintage but perfect shape Paxton SN60 setup for $450, and by all accounts, that is pretty cheap supercharging.

Well, after 1865 posts, somebody finally called me an idiot. I wonder what took so long? Bad thing is that it came from a newbie who wants to "supercharge" his car with a Turbinator, doesn't know what a stroker is, and can't spell knowledge. Oh well, take it with a grain of salt I guess.
