this is beside the point but how many bars is 1 psi

[vbrock1137]

Regardless of performance, $300 for a fan!? No way.

Damm those look sicc. If i had an extra $600 i would cop those fo sho. Asumming that you can really gain 27 hp from the 1.7 psi super charger. Anyone know if that company is legit?

1bar= 14.7psi so 1psi ~0.06bar

i have installed those on two BMWs.
first one, 1984 318i, had a 7hp gain with the single blower e-ram. the second one,
1986 733i, had a 11hp gain with the dual blower e-ram. But both cars had pretty old batteries and alternators(if they were new, the e-rams might have spun faster, thus providing more boost). Is the mod worth the money? you decide.

if you have money to spare, it will be interesting to try it out, the testimonials seem to be positive.

thanks more a more constructive/objective opinion

[jnolte]

i think this may be kind of a waste of money. I would rather get a full exhuast, chip, magnecor sparks and wires first b4 throwing big bucks into a maybe...

good point

[r_widjaya]

I borrow ( want to buy previously ) one of those last time and put it in my golf ... in my opinion nothing happen, and doesnt make any difference ( unless you go for dyno ) ... other than vaccum cleaner sound on your engine bay( no offense but its the truth ) ... and i just return it to my friend ...

this is pathetic. come on, a plastic tiny fan giving 14psi???? u know how much a METAL sc or turbo has to go thru to give out 14psi. this is fake. if you want a cheap mod, get a good 30k rpm electric motor and hook it up to a sc/turbo. this will give u real hp's!

[e-low]

Where did you get 14psi from? Its says there are 2 models, the 1psi and 1.7psi.

[jnenad16]

personally, I would not use it on my cars because the blower motor does not look like it can sustain repeated daily use, which is why they put wire mesh on both sides of it. just thought you guys should know.

Think of how much profit these guys are making. How much could a fan possibly cost? For $100 I might try it, but $300 for 1 psi, no way. Price is way too high imho.

He pretty much sum it up what I am gonna say to this.


Looking by the dimension of this tiny fan, it's highly unlikely it produce anything near what the manufacture claim.


Plus what happen when the engine reach upper rpm, when the engine suction force is stronger that this fan... it's just useless mod... (no pun intended to anyone ;) )

The only fan I can think this fan actuall deliver more air than engine rpm is at idle (my $0.02)
