Re: Light Turbo Charging of X-Trail.....How???

Found this in either the Hot4's or Fast4's mag recently.
Force-Flow Electric Supercharger
It comes as either a single or twin unit but is mainly meant for full-throttle power boost.
It uses a small brushed dc motor turbine similar to modelling electric flight motors which give it a short life.
If the motor could be changed to a brushless motor and a speed controller linked into the throttle then it could be worth trying.
Kev,
These "electric" superchargers have been proven to be worthless, they have been discussed on many performance car sites over the last few years, the result each time is that they are a waste of money.
Forced induction is not this easy or this cheap, at least not if you want to do it properly.

Hi Guys,
Please note that there is a new listing on eBay Australia at the moment advertising a turbo kit that is xtrail specific for $4,000

Re: Light Turbo Charging of X-Trail.....How???
Hi Ron,
Am surprised they didn't provide this information in their eBay advert already, but I'd be asking them the following:
1. What is the boost (in psi) they're running at?
2. What are the real power and torque gains, as the dyno chart they have provided in their eBay auction is VERY questionable and doesn't do a turboed engine any justice.
3. Why is it so expensive?
