Electronic Superchargers & Earthing Kits

for starters, the link above doesnt show any electric super chargers as we know them. ie they arnt the blower type. looks at the site.

secondly, to make 2psi the so called electric supercharger has to make the 2 psi pressure ON TOP of what the engine is sucking in.

the blower type superchragers are rubbish, the things shown in the above site are rubbish.

Ohh fair enough just got the link working in mozilla, hadnt seen it earlier, assumed he was talking about the type i was above.

dunno anything about these kits but they look like they'd work almost as well as the turbonator...www.turbonator.com... buy 3..

.. just looked at the product mentioned, and not a "Supercharger" as we know it but more a brand name that represents Voltage stabilizer kit.

I dont how people can charge (no pun intended) $999 your for what is basically a few capacitors and larger guage earth wire.

f*cking tossers. You may as well go buy some cheap magnets and stick 'em up your arse.

Please keep any ghey external electric supercharged 2 PSI hoo-ha out of this thread!! :)

Due to the name 'Electronic Supercahrger' I was under the impression that this actively raised amp/volts or the like :D I have no clue about electrics if you have'nt guessed :)

It's obvious there is no viable reason for them to be asking the stupid amounts of $$$..

But could someone go into more detail how these are meant to work and what benifits can be had?

theres no way you can actively raise voltage/current.

best thing to do, is have a nice clean set of battery terminals, clean connectors on your alternator, and some nice thick wire bolted from various points around the the engine to the engine bay. Also have a fat wire running from the negative battery terminal to the clean spot on the engine and car body.

a good earth can solve some weird problems.

you can invest in a kit if you want name brand stuff, or you can go to dicksmith/marlow and get some thick black cable and make your own kit.

for ~600 you can run at 2psi... on a small engine.

Think about it - they run on 12V DC...

I did a fair bit or research on them - for my magna (when I had it). It it was $200 I might have considered it (and it still would probably have been a waste of money). If you really want, I could share it. Just don't expect me to be nice about it.

You have a turbo charged car. Why get 1/4 kw for the first 1000 rpm in return for blocking the air intake when the turbo spools? spend the money on something that improve your car

Im an auto electrician and that has to be the biggest load of horse shit ive read for a very long time. The weight gain from installing it would cancel out any performance gains.

Due to fools spamming up this topic.. This is what the so called 'Elctronic Supercharger' looks like

-It has no fan

-It does not make boost

-It does not restrict the inlet passage

This is the $999 version :cool:

Noticed an ad in HPI #67 for an Australian company called Cre8tec. The product they were advertising was the 'Electronic Supercharger' Wich they claim can increase engine torque by up to 20%!! Umongst other things. Has anyone used this product? Is it probable that it could help with increasing turbo response?

Also have heard stories of slightly increased turbo response from installing Earthing kits. These are getting cheap now days.

Thoughts and experiences please :(

Forgive me for getting the wrong impression. Understandable (I think), but wrong nonetheless. It "supercharges" the electronics. Looks like an earthing kit with some sort of ballast(capacitor?).. Um.. an expensive earthing kit.

I don't see how this could have an effect on boost (unless your plugs are dead to begin with - and even then...)

So, sorry I was wrong, but I still say its a rip off. you could DIY it pretty easy - though I wouldn't really like to think about what a capacitor would do to voltages and power (electric - real and 'imaginary') when the spark plugs are firing. I guess it wont kill the car... and if you DIY, you can always unDIY...

**fool spamming up the topic, out

    • Thanks for the reply, So i've continued playing around, and fitted the injector adaptors onto the injector, the fuel rail is not able to be mounted now as the injectors sit a bit further out. I suppose the point of the adaptors is so that the injector nozzle isn't so deep into the intake? I suppose 1mm extra on the o-ring would do it but still can't mount the rail onto the intake haha. Waiting on a reply from Aeroflow I'm sure there's something stupid that I'm missing...
    • EMJ33 or EJM33 - west end
    • I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?    
    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys.
