Gimmic

Boy racer at work bought one 2 years ago span fine when the car was on tickover but second time out it auto dismantled  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

good job it was made of cheap plastic  he found most of it but not all :twisted:

clbarclay:
A typical car alternator can develope in the region of 0.75KW of power.

Not found an acurate figure but from numbers I've heard quoted a typical supercharger will consume 5% of the engine power to work. So say superchaged car generating 200hp (apporx 150KW) would require 7.5KW of power or 10 times the output of the alternator to run the supercharger :roll:

Guardian.:
did you really need to ask!

solihull-mick:
total junk !!!!

Evilgoat:
There is one that REALLY works.

Its 2 starters attached to a roots supercharger and uses 2 truck batteries in the boot!


These are just garbage. I've had something working on smaller engines, but think of how much a 110cc engine produces in KW and we were using a 1.3Kw leaf blower.
