supercharge your 240 for only 69.95.........yeah, w/e

[SHIFT_240sx]

so im reading super street when i see an add in the back, it states that you can supercharge any car for 70 bucks, at first i was like stfu that probably doenst work, w/e, then a friend of mine got one for his kia(lol) and he said it worked pretty well, anyway, i was just wondering if anybody from here has tried one of these "superchargers", any info would help.

is that the thing you stick in your intake. then wait til it dissintegrates into your motor.

or is it the little electric air pump?

either way you get what you pay for....

Shift have??? how do the pace setter headers on your 240sx sound. How long you had??? I was thinking about getting a set for my 240 but peeps on here say they are junk and that they will crack.

[SHIFT_240sx]

they sound really good, but like i have a hollow cat and good piping and muffler, it all depends bro. but for me it sounds really nice, just get ceramic coated headers ive had them for about 10 months now and i really dont see any visible wear when im under the car. + they are cheap, but do some more research before you buy them, just to make sure they are what you want

I think it's a load of horse puckey. I'd bet $70 it won't make a positive difference on your car. The nature of the advertising is a warning. "Supercharger" is not a made-up word. It has a specific definition. They're careful to say "supercharge your car" and not "put a supercharger on your car".

One of the rotating NICO ads was for this product. I had them remove it. Didn't take any convincing--the folks that run this site think it's worthless too.

Check out the photochopped screwdriver and product in the pic!

i knew some poor unnameable person who tried this thing. one of those little vanes came loose in his intake..it was very bad.

[SHIFT_240sx]

thanx for the insight everybody, you reaffirmed my prior feelings toward the product, this should be a warning for future enthusists so that they dont get screwed over. thanx again

Bah, I scoff at this device.Scoff, scoff!My design is much better. A midget with a bellows is mounted in the engine bay, and he pumps like a madman. You have to feed him once in a while though. And clean up his poopies......

[SteezOnSkeez]

yeah i know a kid who took something that looked like a computer fan and put it in his intake. I guess it worked but it was pretty lame and on a buick

[sdtouge]

consumer reports did a report on this thing and said it was not true.

scam.

Their were some honda guys who fabbed one up a while back (It might have been over on homemadeturbo.com.). Apparently an identical version can be bought for marine use for about 20 bucks... something to do with the bilge pump I think. Cooling maybe? Not sure there.

Anyway... their results weren't positive. I think they reported a decrease in power due to the large chunk of plastic cloggin up the intake.

I know of buddy of mine got some kind of device that he added into his induction pipe line, right before the TB. This was an electric fan system. Didn't gain in notible power now gas milage increase like the ad said....

Adam, on my old 13 I had the Pacsetter header, and here is one man's opinion, fittment could have been better. I filled the AIV with a JB weld compettitor, the EGR could not be fitted, and so had to be welded in place. But I enjoyed the fact that with a straight pass exhaust, it quieted down, and had a less wicked witch sound and more like a, now I am Paul Tracy, Kenny Burns, etc (your favorite racer, sound). The gains were nominal in the low end, off idle it took some time, but such is the case with a larger exhaust. The high end felt GREAT, and yes it deserves a set of capital letters. I just bought an OBX for my new 13, and it is a 4-2-1 instead of a straight 4-1. I am hoping for a better autocross type of a feel, good midrange, ya know. Anywho, I am working on an eaton charger kit, and please check my post give me some idea as to if I need to do this just for me, or if I need to be making a kit.

By the way, it leaks just more than a little.

back in the days when it first came out, my friend got one, installed it, took it out for a test drive, and the damn thing broke, lodged a chunk of plastic in the throttle body and he totaled his ride. enough said.
