Electric SUPERCHARGER
Well I gave it a go out of pure curiosity as heard various reports about these things and WOW!!!
I kid you not I must have gained at least 80bhp on my RX8 , I even had a race with a Audi S3 and I totally smoked him, so I’m now on the prowl for faster cars to beat in my electric supercharged RX8.
If your interested this mod only cost me £35.00 off eBay.

Re: Electric SUPERCHARGER
Can’t tell if sarcastic? I genuinely thought electric turbo/super chargers were bogus. Like cold air intakes?

Re: Electric SUPERCHARGER
Buy two and get a 160bhp boost. Oh sod It, for £35 each just buy ten and go for the full 1000bhp experience. Add a hydrogen generator and you could be pushing 1500bhp before you know it.

The eBay ones don’t last however I am involved with a project using the latest Dyson cyclone brushless electric motors running at 20000rpm and initial results are promising.

Re: Electric SUPERCHARGER
That’s just silly as the ceramic Apex seals I had had fitted by a reputable engine builder wouldn’t handle the boost , but he did tell me they are good for Upto 800bhp.
