Re: Questionable electric Turbo

The normal electric "turbo", I would have to agree that they are crap. But these look kinda interesting...but Im not paying that much to try one out.

Re: Questionable electric Turbo

there are systems like these that do work - knight something or other make a gooden, the problem is they have to be used like nos - occasional usage for bursts of power. the ampage comes from the battery which needs time to recharge after each burst. unless you get a second battery then you can use it till the batt's dead but thats adding more weight. if the systems set up right it can be awsome, theres some rice burner out there that went from 100 bhp to 220bhp so it possible. anythings possible.

Don't waste your time bro, just do what this Fiero owner did, and swap to a newer Supercharged 3.8, Click here. I would. I've seen entire engines, w/tranny's, going for less than $500.00 with very very low mileage....
