probably gives about as much performance gain as a MAF Sensor... but hey, don't let me stop you, give it a try anyways & let us know how it goes

Oli, why not just buy it & try it out? All of us are keen to know what its like ... it would go fully sik with the http://www.sunamiturbo.com/ & will suit those 18" chromies perfectly..
here's a few more mods u could try;
Super Cool +HP Mods

if i have done most of the "usual" performance mods, i might really try it. but since i am still looking to do my exhaust, and my bunge of stuff from RPW (65mm TB with manifold and magnecor set) just arrived today which are waiting to be installed.... i dont see how i would want to try this SUPERCHARGER thingo...

but nevertheless, it doesn't look like it will harm the engine in anyway....and for $400 bucks including shipping (although require a month of so to save)....i rekon its worth a try..
of course, if someone else has already tried it and its proven to be a waste of $$, that would be another case...

in conclusion, if its still avaliable 1/2 yr later and still no one has tried it, i wouldn't mind be the lab rat....

Richy ... really, don't waste your money... it is a glorified fan in a box ... not only will it drain some of the electrical power from the rest of the car, but it is essentially introducing a blockage in the air intake pipe ... restricting airflow ... introducing unneccessary heat ... it may claim to run at 30,000RPM but in reality its not going to run any faster than an ordinary PC Case fan ...

What Electric Superchargers Really Do! (I like this one

)
http://videos.streetfire.net/video/6f08 ... 022073.htm

Your 4 best options for a boost in power;
NOS:
Advantages: It is good

Disadvantages: It is illegal

Turbo:
Advantages: It is good

Disadvantages: It is expensive

& it causes headaches...
Buy another cheap car for big HP's (nOt a Skyline) (& keep the FTO cause its sexy):
Advantages: Big Powers for cheaps = good .... Dorifting = good

Disadvantages: Not as sexy as the FTO

Sup0rcharginggg:
Advantages: It is Schweeet!

Disadvantages: Ben is too slack getting his finished & blueprinted for us, lol!

(jokes Ben) ... (but seriously .... hurry up!

)

TBH I think it should be stickied, lol

Can't wait to see how it turns out ... the idea of a supercharged FTO is a lot more appealing to me than Turbo..
