i guess its some kind of filter with a turbo combustion chamber. this thing looks like it would actually make u lose power due to worse airflow. whatt do you guys think? and p.s. im not gonna buy this i jus wana see if its even possible to do this.

I love how it says it's an "electric supercharger" when nothing on the intake arm is electric, nor is it pluged into any power source so I would think that you would lose power with this. It's making the air have to make a wierd turn too. This kinda reminds of the front mount cold air intake. Get a bpi flowstack if you want to optimize a normal intake or something like J's or Iceman intake.

That seller sure does have a lot of positive feedback from buyers of this thing, but I highly doubt it works. In fact, it's more of a restriction of airflow.

Ask them for DYNO's to prove that they provide true gains on realistic cars (140-200 hp ranges)

if they can provide dyno's than buy it!

it IS electric, it doesn't show the two wires that come from the motor control box (doesn't even show motor control box, its on opposite side) That's a typical 12vdc electric blower motor used in bilge pumps. For marine purposes, usually drawing out gas from a marine motor compartmant.

Please don't buy that, it would shame H-T on a whole new level. If the motor is plastic and costs less than probably 20$ could it really be that reliable? If the plastic blades brake off and go into your motor, it probably be ugly (unless they soo cheap they melt lol) The filter is pretty nice design though

A leaf blower attached to an engine has been shown to produce more power....but if that POS is as strong as a leaf blower then I'm Goerge Bush

I saw that video. It was a newer civic on a dyno. There was some dude that held this leaf blower while the car ran on the dyno. I think it made like 10hp lol.

I saw an S10 make +30 when they stuck a leaf blower on it. Anyway, there's a major design flaw to these that I, and only I (to my knowledge) know how to overcome. I would patent it, but I don't have the funds. Anyone wanna buy the idea off me?

First, the motor doesn't have enough power to push more air into the chamber like a turbo can.
Second, the pos puts added drain on your battery.
Third, i read an article that said what i just said and they said it didn't work at all.

The reason the leaf blower worked is cause leaf blowers have better motors on them while these motors are small and cheap.
