Funny to see all the ricers calling each other ricers. Believe it or not though there was a local company here (off Schertz PKWY)years ago that had an electric supercharger that actually worked very well. It was a black Civic coupe that was fugly but they brought it out to the track and it ran low 14's high 13's in the quarter but it was a complicated mess and teh kit was super expensive and heavy as ****.

It just wasn't cost effective considering you could get a Greddy TK or JRSC for way cheaper. I always appreciated the ingenuity though.

I think this is a repost. However, it is still funny as hell. The kid installed the electric turbo backwards and swears it's on right lol. So much fail ftw.

I'm gonna get them and install them on my exhaust pipes to make the exhaust exit faster and push me along the track.

A water spray works better.

Mike + John + Vin =
(I would say John is probably going to be the guy in the middle)
