Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior electric S/C

i was reading import tuner and they had this "s/c" where it goes right on your Intake, and its run by battery.
it only lasts 12 sec and it rechargeable.
They tested on altima where it only had 130 hp, and when they turn on the "s/c"(from a switch where you can install it on your dash), it boosted up to 250 hp to the wheels(supposely) for that 12 sec.
That's really good right?!. You figure 1/4 mile last around 15-16 sec for our cars. And this will last almost throughout the race. and its rechargeable.
anyone have this or have any idea on how it works???
pros and cons???

why not just buy a leaf blower and hook that up like a Turbo.

It's

RICE RICER

yeah i know i think its ghey too, i'm just asking anybody know about this product

, that's

the good ol' TK supercharger, what it doesnt tell you is it makes your back side heavy, thus having our handling celica lose its ability to turn at high speeds

i read the same thing...but i dont trust the gains at all...ecpesially when it claims to be better than the normal kind...

this thread is

which import tuner is it? i wanna see it, what did they say about it?

i dont think import tuner commented on it they were just paid to let those idiots put in their stupid ass electric s/c in the magazine as an ad, and they claim all that it can do when it really cant, theres just no possible way, period

i have a sport compact car w/it, after dinner ill go pull the deails, its says like 15,000 watts

Rice isn't bad... if your eating it with some chicken.

if its import tuner, it must be true!!!

I don't have a prob w/ ricers...its just the fucking asshole thats thinks his ricer is the shit...talks shit and tries to show off...

130 hp to 250 hp for 12 seconds! to the wheels(forgot that part )

i am not going to go too much into this,but a couple off my boys(students) wanted to try the same thing on a civic,it gave something,i felt some kind of diffrence,but nothing like even adding an exhaust.
that was a small electric charger that go after the air box.i think they bought it from ebay.
its not practically possible. the motor would have to be huge to make the boost,and the electrical system would not handle it!

Ya, you would prolly get better gains by hooking a pipe from your ass to the engine, when you fart its just like NAWWWWWZZZZ!

Go ahead and get it, and at the end of the day you can attach a hose to it to suck the leafs up off the lawn

OH!!! i see them in every magazine...no way!! i'd rather get a tornado..

LoL
