yep complete rubbish, there an electric turbo

 

[sebsktm]

doo they work?
like, do they actuly do anything at all?

 

[short.y]

ive heard theu do nuthing..but they have positive feedback for them, so dunno

 

[DvDRip]

it would either do nothing at all or it will decrease power

 

[GenuineRider]

seen them a while ago, was tempted to get one, but i heard you have to change a lot of things on your engine so it doesn't blow ya engine up, wouldn't mind grabbing on for experimentation, wonder if you can make your bike "dose" with one on

someone do a review

 

[Hillz]

kids have been asking about the electric turbos for years, if some1 did a search they could see....

it is basicaly a air filter, with a electric fan that spins around........ nothing more

 

[Atomik-Rider140]

wow i want one now

 

[roost666]

someone do a review

here is ya review.....................it is a scam absolutely no power gain at all, would only do more harm then good.......these belong at the tip

 

[GenuineRider]

hmmm, i may buy one next week if i have the spare cash and do a proper review for yas

 

[Atomik-Rider140]

yeah some one needs to actually prove it, just by looking and examining it on the net isnt a review.

 

[roost666]

ok then but i tell you now im not wrong lol

 

[nafe]

ive seen people bidding up to $250 for them, absolute joke.

Ive studied the workings of turbocharges and internal combustion engines for 3 years at tafe. . take it from me, attaching a fan to the air intake of the carburettor will NOT increase power. . i can explain it using Reynolds number, laminar flow equations and venturi pipe diagrams but il save you the time and just tell you.

It will not increase power, most likely scenario is that there will be a decrease in power.

 

[minibikecr@zy]

The only smart people with these, are the ones selling them to stupid kids for massive profit =O

 

[china boy788]

when you start them dont they just kill your motor??? i seen that b4 posted up on miniriders some where

 

[thump*140]

stupid part of these "turbochargers'', is if they are electrically powered, then technically they are a screw/centrifugal-type supercharger.. and i dont imagine they'd be "forcing" a great deal of air down the throat... now, a belt-driven Roots-type blower on a mini... heh heh... would be worth trying... but only on a 150/160 with a stock flywheel to have the torque to spin the thing...
