Legit?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Super...spagenameZWDVW


Is this legit? im not buying but its under $200 and its instant power at a flick of a switch. I think they are crazy. Is there such thing as an electric supercharger? cause i have never heard of one but i think this is just not right

I agree with you I have never heard or seen anything like that. I can't believe there are people out there that put things like this in their cars.

rip off.
actually decreases power because it blocks airflow.

anything to good to be true.............is.

There are not many ebay items that are worth buying. but good job for asking first.

Ebay ones i wouldnt buy, but there is actually an electric supercharger out there that works...i beleive it is 3000 dollars and produces about 15psi. There is a load of special battery cells in the trunk however.

I found the link of the article on it, if you want to know more just go to his website. Very legit and badass if you ask me.

I'll buy the E-Ram and dyno it. You get your money back if you don't get a %4 in power thats like 5 - 10 whp. I would never buy the ebay ones but this company seems to have a nice product and with these lancers only $300 for this kit might give you 10whp is the best mod you could do.

98 civic engine probably has the closest hp to our car?
3hp upgrade with the e-ram?
thats $100 per hp


That would make rrm's ic kit around $10,000
