El. Supercharger For 1.8 Vvt-i

[igormus]

hi there

does anobody know whether the subject petrol engine has been designed with posibility to instal an electric supercharger?

i am in doubts yet that it can be. i do not like to melt all Al. pistons (!!!) due to power increasing.

please send some coments by return.

thanks a lot/igor

hi

in case they do not enforce the power then why the are sold on the market? is it just to sell?

just a marketing hype!

every one thinks turbos = power

so they give u an electrical one!

I woud spend your money else where,

Ie Intake kit,

Port and polish the head

look at the intake manifold and out going mainfold.

exaust and decat'ing.

They are akin to the "+20bhp" kits sold on eBay that are a resistor in a fancy box.

In some cases these electric superchargers actually restrict airflow and cause a loss of performance.

There are now electric superchargers being developed that actually look like they might work. But they're quite large and require lots of electrikery to run.

Not a trivial task to fit, and given the power requirements will be more like a short NOS shot than a long term power boost.

The toy ones are, as others have said, less than useless. Avoid at all costs.

yes i understand it very well

that is why i have only asked with plenty doubts of its performance.

i have seen this charger is only equipped with small round filter mounted and it is more likely that this filter's life time is in fact less than a normal one.

so i will forget this point at all

thanks for all -- YOU have just confirm all my doubts
