What kind of supercharger is this?

I was browsing ebay and came across and interesting supercharger for 159 dollars. Seems kind of wild to me. Can someone explain what this is and if its good or not? thank you

are you the person who put a bid on this? if you are, i just wanted to say that you are stupid...this is nothing from junk...if its not you, im sorry, but i just saw that someone had placed a bid on this...it will do nothing for your car.

it might rob hp sence its getting in the way of air the engine should be pulling in on its own.

Its electric so it wont rob hp if it was belt driven it would it is still ****

There is no way that fan can move enough air. Our engines are 2 liters, so that means that for every crank rotation, the car takes in 250 cc's of air. At 3000 RPM, thats 50 revolutions a second. So every second, 12.5 liters of air are going into the engine. A fan that moves that much will require more electical power than you car can put out. That fan will just impede the air flow with the possible exception of idle, and make your car slower will making that jack *** richer.

Not Recommended For Use With: Turbocharged or Supercharged Cars

It says it right there

I think they sell these at Boat part stores for about half that. Still a dumb waste of money for an XD. Let some Civic fool waste his rice, er, money. Like NCspecV81 said, piece of sheee-yat.

OMG thats the ub3r l33t +300 hp supercharger ive been looking for! :clap:

[SWortham]

Elantra2.001 pretty much covered it. Electric supercharger's just don't work. The rate at which the electric motor can spin the fan will not be fast enough to keep up with the N/A airflow, and even if it could, the benefits would be minimal.

Unfortunately, if you want to supercharge your car, it's going to cost you a lot more than that.
