Z_Dust Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 While searching around at ebay I ran accross something called an "electric turbo". Basically what they sell is some type of housing with an electric fan that installs at the TB. In theory it forces air into the TB, therefore allowing the engine to create more HP, right?. Is this a bunch of BS? would this be doing the same as a forced induction hood. I know enough to know that this in no way will ever replace a real turbo or a cam upgrade but would it help in feeding more air to the engine? I'm thinking the engine can suck air faster than that fan can push it in anyways, in that case it will just be in the way and probably reduce air flow.

Guest smoov280zx Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 I've got a genuine nissan electric turbo, came on my 280zx, but it was installed wrong. They were using it to cool the fuel injectors, hah! imagine that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
