I think this kind of thing has been mentioned before, but I'm wondering: Shouldn't there be at least a small improvement in performance? It seems to me that a dedicated high airflow fan could possibly be more beneficial than just the standard ducting that relies on vehicle speed to provide airflow. I seems fishy since there are several of these for sale, always at 135$ and with variing car model applications.

 

Are there even any kind of mechanical superchargers in existence that could be bolted on to a Subaru?

IT DOES NOTHING>>

don't waste the money

Hmmm.............................ya sure?

Absolutley right -

that is no more than an A/C fan hooked up to the intake - not worth the power it is consuming to run

 

The only supercharger I have heard that does anything is one off an early MR2 - it is belt driven, so you would have to deal with that headache.

 

If you want performance, go turbo or XT6 engine - they are the best (and pretty much only) ways to REALLY increase HP.

yes..

 

i would have used bigger font, but caleb would probably try to give me a spanking for doing it

:lol: :lol:

There wont be, because the draw of that heater fan motor cannot produce anything more than a gentle low pressure breeze. All it really is doing is drawing power from the alternator and introducing more restriction into the intake. A little motor like cant even keep up with the air going through the motor at idle.

What about high performance alternators? Say if one were to use the older GM ones that do around a hundred amps?

this wil not push enough air to even make a difference

Ok, I've been reading some of the older threads about this (as I should have done anyway) and I get the point.

 

Hey, I'm a college student, all I do is dream about free lunches.

That thing will draw power regardless of the alt. it is hooked up to - the bigger alt just drags more off the engine - a lovely vicious cycle isn't it - and you VERY quickly reach the point of dimishing returns

 

Cut the bottom of your airbox off and you will see a greater difference than if you were to install that piece of crap

I can relate

now that he know's

 

 

lets pleasae lock this..?

Sure, go ahead, this thread can be killed.

i cant personally do it, cause im not a mod..

and i think caleb is ignoring me now after the spanking joke..lol

I just read your sig, now i might be doing the same frickin neons

Alright already..

 

Jeez.. being brad's pet mod sure is demanding work.
