    Electric INTAKE !!!!

    "Honda Electric Turbo Cold Air Intake Mugen Supercharger Fan System"

    Has anyone heard of this electric intake system. According to it you connect it to the gas pedal and when pushed 75% it turns on the fan and sucks in extra air. Suppose to be double the HP of a regular short ram or CAI.

    I'm a little skeptical but what are you guys take on it (FAST OR PASS)

    You can check it out here.

    That may increase horse power by 2-3 hp in the low rpm range but once you go to WOT you car will be sucking in more air than that little cheap fan can push and you will lose power. Also if you ever pop your hood and u have an electric turbo in your car every single person will laugh at you and you will look like a idiot.

    Here's how to get the most out of them after you've been conned into buying one of those: open trash can, place eBay crap in trash can, set trash can on fire, hope the trash can wasn't plastic.

    Re: Electric INTAKE !!!!

    here's the REAL electric supercharger, this is a very interesting article, once you read it you'll understand why the little fan in the intake does nothing but cause restriction. They do exist,they are designed for boost on initial acceleration and the boost tapers off as rpms increase, you either need a 200 amp alternator to recharge the batteries as you drive, or as he describes it, it's like nitrous, you have to charge the batteries at home, just like filling the bottle. It is real though. in the use it's being used for such as drag racing,or as an additional acceleration boost,it works, but it's not limitless you only have so much boost http://www.turbomagazine.com/tech/04...ger/index.html
