Thats a neat little thing. But if it was not enough power for him. Hmmm. That makes me wonder why its enough power for someone else. lol. Now to get his next Electric SC would be somthing.

DRAWS 1200+ WATTS AT 48 VOLTS

so, how would it be hooked up? since he wont answer any questions, why bid? suckers. Get a leaf blower motor & a separate fuel cellfor it. You'll get more than 4psi I bet.

besides auction over, $355.01 & no directions

A while back now,like a couple years ago... this thread came up and the majority proceeded to mock the electric superchargers and somehow I ended up gettign email from a guy that worked for a company selling these things... LOL

If you think it will work, spend your money... if you have any doubts don't.

With things like this your own perception will make it seem like it does something or doesn't do anything.

I would've had a better opinion of him/it if he didn't blatently sat in his ad "I will not answer any questions about it, ~Sold as is"

In my opinion somebody got screwed on this deal ,and it wasnt the seller. For one thing the extra power that you might get from this POS you would lose because of the extra amount of draw from the alternator and electrical system.Plus, how do you control the amount of boost during the variations of the engines RPM range. The reason why he doesnt want to answer questions about it is probably because he is most likely a con artist. The guy should be locked up.

About fifteen years ago my father got an experimental supercharger that operated off of the alternator pulley . You had to use a two belt pulley on the alternator and a bracket bolted to to the alternator bracket to hold the supercharger. He had it on his ford pick-up but he took it off because it made too much noise (sounded like a siren) . He still has it. Ill try to find it and send a pic of it.
