supercharger

[rednorfolk]

Has anybody on this forum experimented with an electronic supercharger? I've toyed with the idea of the mini turbocharger and I see that other members of this forum have usedthe mini turbocharger and was wondering if anyone has used the electronic supercharger (as seen on ebay). It looks really easy to fit and use but I don't want to waste my money on one if anyone has fitted one on their diesel engine and found it is crap. The engine I'm going to be using is a Yanma 456cc 13bhp. I love it here, I feel like a mad professor although my wife would probably prefer it if there wern't so many explosions coming from the laboratory (the shed)

look into how many volts and amps they draw. You may find out the weight of batteries to operate it make it only viable for drag racing. Even then, a well engineered turbo or belt driven supercharger will net better performance.

I took a peek at Ebay all I see is a squirrel cage bilge blower the won't do much of anything. The thought that they would add boost to a car engine is nuts. save your money.
