Super charging fan, whats this about??

[sparzzy]

it looks like a turbo but plastic which goes between the air filter and air mass meter. or looks like old style hair dryer. has eletric motor which u can have on constant via dash switch or for best results via a switch near butter fly so only comes on when you go half to full throtle. it said to produce 3 bar cold forced air . guy on vaux sports car club stuck it on a 3ltr astra mk2 convertion. will stick some pics up sat eve. i for one think it makes a dif. but having all the other bits done also makes a diff. i got it as i also had a super chip fitted inside my ecu and the comp and gas sniffer said it was running rich.

hmmm, like the types on ebay which im not too sure about.....

[sparzzy]

finally got round to taking photos of electric super charger.

pic of long arm micro switch which comes on when throttle body arm moves. does make a diff to cav.


also put on body kit onto my astravan

The elecy supercharge looks good, would be interesting to see the results from a rolling road session. Liking the van too

Lovin the van

good job in getting the xe in but im still waiting on results on the supercharger.

when fan is on its very powerfull and you can feel the air is cold going into the afm. thats why i put in the 3 bar turbo fuel rail and injectors as the cream 1.7 standard ones where making it run weak. the only down side is mpg. down from 22.5 ave to 19.5 mpg. but as it only comes out weekends i can live with it. it came from the usa. i mailed some people who purchased it in the uk and all who mailed back said it made a diff. having some stainless pipe made to replace the cheap pipe that came with it. larger bore and smooth. tim

Ive got a 3bar on creams and used to get really bad mpg till i changed the temp sensor, made a massive improvemnt to my mpg for the sake of £10 it might be worth a swap?
