Saw these on Ebay does anybody know anything about them, they say upto 20BHP, seems abit unbelievable to me, anyone any ideas.

I'm sure Peter will be along shortly to ensure you also buy some 'restore' so that your engine will not fall apart with increased power, as well as advice on how to erect a mast and pickups ala trolley bus to power the thing.

I take it you're talking about the electric things?
I saw these and thought they looked to good to be true and I got some interesting replies when I asked the question on here and all (as I suspected they would be) were negative, don't even think about wasting your money

"Up to 20 bhp" is entirely believable. Bear in mind that "0 bhp" and "-10 bhp" all qualify as "up to 20 bhp".

Thought as much just an overated electric fan

Hey don't mock! I've got one on my 400 and its now pushing out 18,000 bhp! How amazing is that?

All these rip-offs on ebay make me laugh, like those power boost valve things, what a load of rubbish!

But I thought I'd heard of properly supercharged Chimaeras or was that flannel?

They work, but they cost a bit more ...

Um, 'power boost valve' is just a fancy name for a rising rate fuel pressure regulator - nothing especially 'snake oil' about that as it does what it says on the box.

I think I might try a 3kw heater fan instead, aswell as the extra power at least it will blow some warm air on these cold nights

.. It took me ages to work out why all the cars in Finland were plugged into the national grid

Don't laugh but Pasco has installed a mains powered water boiler to warm his up before he gets in

Could always stuff a couple in the rear bulkhead vents, for emergency fart dispersal
Sure can't think of any other beneficial use for 'em
