i have seen the Jet Steam for the RX8 on net .....
i also had read many posts here about if it is working and if it not
SO pls i want to ask ANYONE have ever tried? or putted something similar to this ???

I gained +80 horsepower from one of those pumps you use to inflate an air matress. I JB welded it onto the intake. Its sick.
The point of superchargers and turbos is your introducing compressed air into an engine... get a good intake, or hell, keep the stock one and you will get more air pulled into your engine than this fan can pump in.

OP, it's time to re-evaluate the physics behind a super/turbocharger....
leaf blower motor strapped to your intake: low pressure, high volume
turbo/supercharger: high pressure, low volume
consider which of the two systems is most beneficial for a system that relies on the amount of oxygen contained in each volume of air passed through the combustion chamber.
fluid dynamics ftw

Well to be perfectly honest, there is this article i was reading that stated a electric roots type supercharger helped a altima from 115whp to 208whp, but this unit is vastly different then ebay electric superchargers, and it looks like it almost costs more then current kits.
This setup required 3x odessey batteries in the boot.
Interesting read however

Exhaust gasses are still free.
I already struggle to understand the use for a supercharger given the modern turbos' efficiency. Adding 3 batteries and a supercharger for a 90% power gain (140lbs) when you could do that with around 40 and a way smaller headache sounds just dumb.
