Hee hee hee



No doubt some people do actually fall for it though otherwise they wouldn't keep advertising them.

Im crying as made on Blue Peter surely

[steff]

I'll have twelve, do you take western union transfers?

[rfoster]

Hey don't be so hasty. I have three of these installed in parallel on my car and it gives approx 60 bhp increase over standard. And with the passenger seat folded flat to lose weight it's definitely faster that an Exige S now.

/not really

[james33]

More like youve fitted 30 of them and .6 of a bhp achieved. They probably decrease power.

Look, they are £299 each so there is no way thay aren't genuine. Come on! Who is going to pay that sort of money for something that doesn't really do anything? You'd have to be simple or something. My cheque (made out to cash) is on it's way already.

Anyway, money is no object as I'm helping this Nigerian prince with his late fathers fortune so I'm gonna be rich I tell ya, rich!

There may be some truth in it - its been done before: http://rotarynews.com/node/view/381

[james33]

Well it must be genuine if it was pitched at the us market

I believe this is useful on exige without air co.........


to extract air from the cockpit under the sun after a fast run ....

It weight less than 15 kg and so is in pure Lotus style ....

I like this bit:

EBayScamMeister said:

Please be aware, As the Generation 2 is controlled by a full throttle NOS style acctivation switch, The second that you come off full throttle the Generation 2 Supercharger will disarm therefore the pressure leaving the dump valve is almost silent.

What a load of bollox!

how many can I install in parallel ? if it's 20bhp pr unit, around 4-5 of them should be sufficient.At least for a while

220bhp here I come

Hi new to Lotus, just brought one he he!
As far as superchargers go ive done quite a bit of work on them n these ones are rubbish. The power requires to run an e-charger is massive, you need 48V batteries and over 60 Amps to get enough power to run a unit at decent boost pressures. For 300 quid the motor would be rubbish n 40,000 rpm sounds quite high. also for small comprssors your looking at speeds in excess of 60,000RPM for decent boost. As far as the claimed increases i would suggest that the new air filter probably gives feel of power 'increase' as it improve the throttle response.
Bottom line if you wana supercharge, because its awesome, you need to spend cash and lots of it.
www.rotrex.eu.com very tidy units

This is great!

I remember a chap on t'internet who had written a whole web page on "super charging" your car with a shower extractor fan - I wish I could find the site, it was so funny.

The guy seemed to be taking the piss out of himself towards the end because he realised his installation was probably robbing his car of about 10 BHP - brilliant!

Anyone else see that one??
