Electric Supercharger

[smokeysan]

I am returning to the states from Germany in January and I am looking to add some upgrades to my 01 Bonneville. I am considering an electric supercharger from this website: http://www.yourhotcar.com/prod/Supercha ... _2/548722/ Has anyone used one of these or have any idea about this etc. Is it even worth it? Thanks.

Junk, stay away.

Do a seach here if you want to read more about it.

Thanks I was thinking that it sounded like it might be. Do you know of a supercharger that will mate up with a stock SE easily? Thanks.

No such thing. Its either a top swap kit, entire engine swap, or go turbo.

12 Volts, 2.2 Amps = 24.4 watts.

It's about as powerful as a PC cooling fan (which it probably is on the inside).

There are real electric superchargers. http://www.electricsupercharger.com/

It produces 1 PSI. The up-rated version makes 1.7 PSI. It also costs $300 and up. Power draw is >1500 watts, according to their website.

I dont think that would work well with any blown 3.8

Are you serious? You believe this crap?

The ONLY viable (actually works instead of causing an intake restriction) electric supercharger is this one:

Anything like what is posted above for the import ricer tuner market is a freaking joke on any motor of our size. Our natural aspiration will out-flow any of them.
