Supercharger - lmao!

30 amps, so that'll be a 360 watt fan then.  If it were a hairdryer, it'd be underpowered.  So I'm sure it'll make a huge difference to a diesel air intake.

On the bright side, if you rev the engine, I'd imagine it would act as a little wind turbine, and top up your battery a bit.

You reckon it's not on sale in "germany, france, the netherlands or the USA" because those countries have laws against selling worthless tat ?

I'm puzzled why it has "snorkel" in the listing. It bears no resemblence whatsoever to a snorkel and that cone-shaped air filter couldn't be used with a snorkel anyway!

(Ok, I know you can put one of those on top of a snorkel, but still!)

i did some rough calculations in my head, a 4 litre v8 theoretically pulls in 4 litres of air, for 2 revolutions, so each revolution is 2 litres
at 4000rpm, thats 8000 litres of air a minute
i dont think that fan will be able to pump that much air at a decent pressure

You could buy one to blow up your air bed when you go camping  :lol:

It would be quicker than blowing it up yourself thus leaving more time for beer :dance:
