electric supercharger

Has anyone tried installing the Vortex Electric Supercharger (located at [URL="superchargertuning.com) a 13B twin turbo RX-7? Or, does anyone have an opinion about the product?

No. You can be the first to get "respect" back from your car with one of those in your "engine enclave".

it will go post turbo. The pressure of the sc + the turbo will increase boost by 200%. Since the boost is so crisp and consistent there will be no need to run the secondary injectors unless you double that boost for the 700whp mark.

It looks like you were seriously looking for an opinion. Without getting into all the reasons why it's garbage, it's just garbage. This product should smell fishy to anybody with common automotive knowledge. If you do have a turbocharged car, or you may even have an FD, I urge you to learn about how it really works. If you don't than honestly you will probably just end up breaking it somehow. All the best

First off I don't think that P.O.S. fan could even keep up with the airflow when running at full boost. Secondly what do you think will happen if something breaks off of that fan and finds its way into the turbos?
Having said that if you put one of these inline with that electric fan you'll get 800HP at 40MPG.

It looks like a booster fan for HVAC systems when the room isn't getting enough air.

Oh no.....not again.
Isn't there some way to automatically block certain keywords from ever becoming threads?

I dont see how something like this could EVER be baught by ANYONE. Who would buy anything that says something along the lines of "dont ever be embarassed again" like this "fan" because thats all it is will turn your car into anything more than it already was.... this is the definition of rice.
