THATS NOT A SUPERCHARGER

here are a few different pics of superchargers ..... as u will c none of them look like $2 fan's u get from the local $2 store like that one from ebay ......

also read through this http://auto.howstuffworks.com/supercharger.htm ..... with that ebay product i simply cant c how its adding any power ..... in fact all i can see it doing is creating air restriction in your intake causing ur engine to choke .......

Benefits of the Turbo Spiral are:

Increased Fuel Mileage

Increased Horsepower (Kilowatts)

Promotes a Cleaner Environment

Increased Torque

Extends Engine Life

Ok, I can see how idiots can swallow the first 4 "SCAMdvantages" but "extends Engine life"?? LOL

In the Ebay Ad.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Is this an Electric Supercharger ?

A. No, this is not.

Q. How is the unit powered ?

A. The unit uses your vehicles intake system to power its blades to spin at up to 65,000 RPM. The patented angular blades create greater efficiency in your combustion process. These conditions create better performance at higher gears and increase fuel mileage at lower gears.

Q. Does this unit increase the pressure in the inlet manifold ?

A. This unit does not increase the pressure in your inlet manifold. It increases the efficiency of your airflow into your combustion chamber. This increased efficiency betters your performance and improves your mileage.

That's all you really need to look at to see that this thing is just a plastic circle with fan blades that sits in your intake pipe.

Their key bullsht word is "efficiency".

The displaced voume in your intake that thing occupies, would cause more restriction than benefit it could ever give you...

And because it's cheap junk, you can expect bits of it to go into your engine after 6 months hard boosting @ 65,000rpm... :P

YAY, a 5hp gain on a 300hp car! That's like a 1.6% hp gain man! :D

They probably left the airbox off for the 2nd run...

After the whirly bird, the air has to pass through a small gap left by the butterfly in the throttle body and then get churned up inside the plenum and runners before it squeezes through the small ledge left by the valves before it gets into the combustion chamber and then further displaced. Maybe there is a small appreciable improvement at wide open throttle by speeding up the airflow to the throttle body, but I doubt daily benefits could be observed...

I think achieving helmholtz resonance would be much better.

I can't believe people sell crap like this. What I don't believe more are the people that actually fall for it and buy it. I would imagine it charging your engine... with the pieces of badly assembled aluminium that break off when this thing has air rushing past it.

Apparently is was loud as hell. Haha I can imagine if the guy took it to a performance workshop and got it fitted... probably get ripped off huge LOL

to me, it looks as if it will just push air into the engine, but why use one of these if you could use a leaf-blower :lol:

It won't push air Evan. It doesn't have a motor, it's just a whirly bird in a tube. All it does is make the air swirl that passes through it, from after the MAF (if you're smart) to before the throttle body. Which is a very short insignificant distance...

hahahaha 5 to 10 kw gain lol.

a 7L has only 10kw more than a 3L hahaha.

what a joke!

An American 7L does only have 10kW more than a good Jap 3L :spiteful:

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      Android auto

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
