Alright guys i found this e-turbo thing a little sceptical but i said what the hell!
i bought this "ACTURBO" twin turbo set up which is two 12v centrifugal blowers for $650.00 and put them on my wife's KIA(no joke). the guy at AC TURBO garanteed it produced boost under WOT.so i bought a digital boost gauge from jc whitney$30 .to my amazment at WOT it produced 3.8 psi boost and the G-TECH pro is showing me a 28hp gain"on a freakin KIA" anyways its comin off the kia and on my wifes crx si.i'll have pics soon. "laugh all you want i ain't laughin no more" money well spent

 

You were unsure and you paid 650 for the thing? And how does the G-Tech know your horsepower?

 

before the "thing" as you call it the car had about 112hp now peaking about 140hp good enough..don't ask stupid questions. just trying to spred the mod info

 

650 for only that much????

ill take one bottle of n20 and a hamburger w/ the change

 

i have some beach front property in South dakota i wanna sell ya...interested?

 

add N2O and its that much more..........
"i have some beach front property in South dakota i wanna sell ya...interested?"
no but have you had this piece of equipment on your car?
no. go paint your car or somethin i don't have time for people like you
function over fashion

put it on a dyno to see what's up..

 

jesus christ. the guy buys a part while not buying the hype and lets you guys know that it actually makes power and you STILL flame him! Sometimes its sad how this board is going downhill


Nice find. Honostly its nothing I would put on my car, but its cool to find out that that thing actually works.

And those that bitch at 650 for nearly 30hp....go over to any of the NA forums and ask them how much they gained on the nearly 1000 they spent on I/H/E.

 

Electric turbochargers are real, i've posted the link in here before.

there is like a german compnay working on efficient electric centrifugal "superchargers" able to make up to like 9 psi boost on <4.0 litre engines...

thanks for the backup

 

sounds interesting to say the least, how does it work, and is the stuff universal.

 

from what i can tell yes it is universal. and it uses a Wide Open Throttle switchto activate it
it doesn't seem to restrict the flow when its off

 

yeah...glad to hear that it works but...28whp for $600whp... I guess there are other things you can do to make the car gain more (afterall it dod go on a Kia right??)...put they baby on a CR-X and take it to a dyno....

 

Got any pics of the set-up? I am interested and would like to see this...

 

so dont you have to control fueling? thats what i dont get about these out-of-the-box deals: wouldnt it run lean with all the extra air?

 

just about any stock map sencor can read up to 11psi, if not why can a stock integra run 8psi with no problem and no other mods?

Just becaues it can read the boost doesn't mean it can fuel it. It's true that stock map sensors can read 11psi, and goto hell afterwards.. most atleast, but that doesn't mean that they are giving it the proper fuel. Odds are you running lean, and will blow up if you create much more "boost" with not added fuel depending on how rich the kias come stock.

 

If you strap a turbo onto an integra and run 8psi with a stock fuel system you will break things. You did your homework you say?

Edit: Guy above me posted at the same time.

 

At wide open throttle most ECU's run in open loop mode, so they can't really add any more fuel even if they saw the lean condition?? Correct me if I'm worng here guys.

 

the day i put my turbo on my civic i hit boost for less than a second and it wasn't even full boost (like 3psi) and the check engine light went on and it stalled out. i needed an fmu and a map sensor check for it to work right.

 

to all you haters (even though ill never buy a 'electric turbo' in my life)

28hp is a whole hell of a lot more than your little Intake header exhaust gains. Sit down.

did you by any chance read my user name

 

i got to admit 28 hp on a kia is something to look at here, i.h.e is a **** of a lot more than that,,,.....glad to see someone thinking outside the usual box here,,,, my only concern is the fueling,,,, stick an fmu on that **** with a low *** fuel to boost disc, like 4 to 1 or something, that would help out any lean conditions,,, intereting post though,, dont hate on him guys,,, give some credit,,,,he spent 650 and actually shared his experience so we could learn something here,,,,,,,
