Force Flow 8.0 Twin Electric Intake Supercharger

[sv477]

Hey Guys I came across the Force Flow 8.0 Twin Electric Intake Supercharger on ebay and was wondering if anybody has used one of these or know someone that has, they apparently pump out around 3psi.??
Is it worth buying or is it all bullsh**??

I think you mite find it would be wiser to save your dollars and go buy a decent charger, you can buy second hand Powerdyne of vortech for around 3grand that will give you approx 250-300kw...

Just go for a real supercharger.

The force-flow was originally designed to give a quick boost at full acceleration, after a few years of developement, the owner realised that the force-flow is actually better suited to smaller cars eg 4 cyl, 4wd and motorbikes, this is where the most hp gains and spikes in efficency has been seen.

Basically a 4 cylinder motor car will recieve 5-10% hp gain and 5-10% fuel economy.

Forceflow has fased out the twin electric forceflow 8.0 and is replaced by the force-flow x4 brushless system.

This system is in the process of an overhaul, and a new force-flow product will arise with more boost and efficency, also carburettored vesrions and high end race versions will be coming up in the next 12 months.

Their original setup that is controlled by a trigger swith will be the basic model and there will be high end versions that are activated accordingly to how much accellerator is being pushed, this is the concept for the race version, which will draw 100 amps, it will only work on cars with high-end electrical sytems(dual drycell batteries and soleniod,high-end alternator and car audio capacitor) as most cars only produce 85-120 amps max and the car uses most of that.

The high end unit will cost approximately $1800-3000 AUD to install, with all wiring and hardware included, eg dual batteries etc. The car would be off the road for less than 48 hours, and there will be no need for an intercooler, no risk of blown engines, no need for miles of uneccesary piping.

Force-Flow is a mod for those who want more without having to spend more 3 days after installing a turbo, which is what happens to all revheads, you get a cheap turbo, hook it up for under $3000 and 1 week later you have blown your donk and your up for thousands, or you can get a turbo done the right way and spend in the versinity of nearly $10,000 aud before you get quality.

Dont knock what you dont understand!

Dont knock what you dont understand!

i understand the laws of thermodynamics, i understand how many hp are required to turn an alternator loaded to 150a+

What i dont understand, is how these supposed miracle devices are all over the internet, yet i have never personally seen one fitted to a car.

I dont understand how many cfm this device will produce at the supposed 3psi, because no one ever advertises the truth.

I dont understand how an electric fan powered by the engine will force more air than an engine can aspirate much higher than idle, unless perhaps we are talking a lawnmower engine, but i guess ill have a hard time pushing it with the 1000cca batteries, and my wife on the bike trying to turn the 100a alternator to keep it charged.

I dont understand how these miracle devices proliferate, when the 1800-3000 dollars would be far better paying for a decent exhaust/tune and make more power, more reliably, with no bullshit promises, or fairy tales of horsepower increase.

To the OP, dont waste your money on crap, blow it on red at the casino, at least youve got a 50% chance of being happy lol.

This supercharger works excellent, 20 psi without any problems, not a toy, Theoretical no load output shaft speed is 120,000 rpm @ 12v and 240,000 RPM @ 24v. Actual load speed are about 30% lessthan no load speed; approximate loaded speed is 84,600 rpm @ 12v. With 24v, the speed is electronically limited two 150,000 rpm. Computer programmers comfortable progressive boost option and it is a must for drive-by-wire vehicles .. I have it on my honda civic 1992 model 1.4 LSI, 260WHP! but I have unfortunately no pictures of the car on my computer .. : ( I have twin supercharger and 4 extra batteries of 180 amp each and upgraded alternator, I use another two 40-farad capacitors on each supercharger, yes it is stereo capacitors I use! I have''NOS''buttons on the handlebars as akktiverer full boost on the superchargers!! ;)
