ok, i know we have intakes coming out, but is what this site advertising feasable? i have never heard of something like this and want to know if it is something worth looking into. http://www.autoaccessorystore.com/home. ... id=952&s=1

this is the first car i want to mod the engine on so i really dont have an idea of what some of this stuff works with. sorry if this is a retarded post.

im pretty sure i just slapped myself in the forehead

The answer is no. It is definately not something you want to waste your money on, especially when you can get that on Ebay for like $30. It's just a fan that is supposed to draw in more air into your engine. You will not see the kind of gains they are advertising.

These POS "electric superchargers" have been ragged in the "forced induction" forum.
(See: http://www.solaraguy.org/viewtopic.php?t=8678 )

Please don't waste your hard earned $600 on this "oversized electric hair dryer".

no way was i spending that much money on something i had never heard of. if they were that great they would be all over the place. all well, guess we just have to keep playing the waiting game, which has proven to be truly wonderful as we all know

there actually is a good one out, but it costs a lot of money and you have to buy big heavy batteries and they are a pain in the a$$... ya just forget it happened

The Scion TC has the exact same engine as the Solara and Camry i4. Couldn't the Solara use the same supercharger as the TC? (with little modification perhaps?)

Or how about the tC's intake while we are asking?

intake maybe ok, but keep in mind that the engine room lay out might be different because different chasis. If for sure it will work for 4 banger solara, the company woud say it work for solara.

and yeah, that just a blow drier work on intake. if it really works, magazines would talk about it. it is so lame just like no magainze would bother to talk about how much down force you can get for aluminum wings on a FWD cars.

haha, damn that has to be the most expensive fan to date i have seen online. Guess the plastic case costs alot to make.

I don't think the CAI for the tC will fit, but maybe a short ram will.

Well, the tC supercharger is finally out!

I wonder if we could use it on our 4 banger manual trans solaras, like mine!!!!

Funny this thread should come up.

There was a film that was linked on the forum fairly recently. It showed before and after results putting a leaf blower into the air intake.

I myself am working on changing the voltage in order to be able to run a leaf blower on DC power. Just a few more tweaks left (the converter I have seems to get awfully hot and the hood needs a bungie cord to close) and then oh boy!

Once TRD releases the auto tranny brackets for the tC blower, I'm buying one

add on super charger for us?
