Has anyone herd of a turbonator? - Club4G Forum : Mitsubishi Eclipse 4G Forums - 2006-2012 Eclipse Authority

johnyb · July 10th, 2011, 06:43 PM

Here the link Supercharger Turbonator Stage 2 by Supercharger

They call it a supercharged turbonator... says it can give you a 10% hp gain.
they have a stage two and all that or w.e

Its just a fan inside your intake...
I personally think you will loose power from that and that this piece is crap.
How ever.. i have read reviews stating it works and some that say it doesn't.
Has anyone herd anything.. If it works its cheep enough to go for.

My next question is... they have it shown on a stock intake.. would it work on a cai. Like gain power from both?

akley88 · July 10th, 2011, 06:52 PM

dont waste your money

johnyb · July 10th, 2011, 06:56 PM

are you guessing? or do you know electric superchargers are crap

akley88 · July 10th, 2011, 07:05 PM

there are no dyno sheets to prove their theory of 10% increase. the only company that makes a working electric supercharger that i know of. THomas knight.

akley88 · July 10th, 2011, 07:07 PM

the electric motors in those things are not powerful enough to spin fast enough to produce any kind of boost.

ALBOE · July 10th, 2011, 07:19 PM

step up your game bro, and buy it, and dyno before and after please

johnyb · July 10th, 2011, 07:19 PM

So would the thomas knight one be worth it?

akley88 · July 10th, 2011, 07:22 PM

yeah it would be but when you look at how much other stuff you need and how limited it is, using nitrous or turbo would be cheaper and better. the thomas knight unit is like 3000 last time i checked. what all do you have done to your car.

johnyb · July 10th, 2011, 07:24 PM

I just got it, so just an intake. and some exterior shit.
i wanna supercharge eventually. so id rather go with a real one rather then adding 4 extra batteries and shit.

akley88 · July 10th, 2011, 07:25 PM

you have the 2.4 right

johnyb · July 10th, 2011, 07:27 PM

yes sir

akley88 · July 10th, 2011, 07:38 PM

there are some other bolt ons that you can do before going FI

johnyb · July 10th, 2011, 07:40 PM

yea i know. Tb, heads, and cat back.. anything else?

akley88 · July 10th, 2011, 07:46 PM

cam, nitrous, ud pulley, tuning.

FeaRlezZ · July 10th, 2011, 08:44 PM

FIC is a must need if ur runnin full bolt on. . ur not experiencing the true gains that ur modded car has to offer

4gcarbon · July 10th, 2011, 09:08 PM

looks just like an SRI and they call it a supercharger to get more people to buy it..

4gKILLSYOU · July 10th, 2011, 10:08 PM

Just like those Ebay "chips" 500HP and 1000MPG haha I almost bought an eletric supercharger but someone explained it would be the worst decision ever.

FeaRlezZ · July 10th, 2011, 10:13 PM

^ everyone has to b honest until there is a dyno to prove it then no one can really say anything even though i think it is bullshit as well

johnyb · July 11th, 2011, 12:37 AM

idk what FIC or Cam stands for =/.
are they pulleys easy to put in?

Steveo · July 11th, 2011, 01:52 AM

Hahahaha

FeaRlezZ · July 11th, 2011, 08:01 AM

^^ lol

NitroGlisson · July 11th, 2011, 09:00 AM

I sure wouldn't recommend an electric charger. What I read up on about them is they draw so much power that you have to add a second battery and possibly a stronger alternator. Save your money for the real thing and that will also buy you some time to study up on just what is involved with what you are wanting to achieve.

johnyb · July 11th, 2011, 03:55 PM

lol cool laughing instead of just telling me...

akley88 · July 11th, 2011, 03:59 PM

fic is fuel and ignition controller its a piggyback system. cam is a camshaft.

johnyb · July 11th, 2011, 04:24 PM

well thanks for clearing that up.

Steveo · July 11th, 2011, 04:33 PM

Sorry nothin towards you just a shitty gimic of a product

johnyb · July 11th, 2011, 04:37 PM

i figured as much.. theres so many gimmics out there and it honestly didn't make sense how a fan would produce more hp... looks like it would just clog the pipe and worsen gasmileage

Do some research man. None of us expect you to know everything right away coming here, but when we say stuff at least have the sense to use the Search button to find out what we're talking about.

Do a little forum lurking and surfing. If you can't find the answer then feel free to ask any of us. Putting up threads like these just lead to you getting flamed by the member having the worst day.

I swear....like 7 or 8 threads on this "Turbonator" now...all of them end in epic facepalms.

johnyb · July 11th, 2011, 06:29 PM

apparently it would be you having the worst day... don't come here and start shit cause i said the word head cause your boyfriend doesn't kiss you after.

Elemenohpee · July 11th, 2011, 06:31 PM

^ hes not starting shit. its just the fact if its not you their are 10 other people like you (no offense) who will ask the same questoin. This isnt me taking a stab at you im just saying, these things wreak of scam. Asking questions is never a bad thing though, but I promise if you typed a few key words in the search bar you would of gotten the same results as this thread and prolly seen the same members who gave you their .02 give it to someone else as well.

Nope, not having a bad day and I wasn't starting anything with you. Obviously you wanna be the shit starter.

Consider yourself a lost cause already asking retarded questions that any person with BASIC knowledge of a car or engine wouldn't have to ask due to it being a common thing to know. You know what? Just go drive your car around until it starts smoking white and the SES light comes on along with the oil light. Then come ask a question on how to replace your entire engine. Oh by the way, since you most likely have an automagic transmission go ahead and rev it to like 5500 rpm <-(That means revolutions per minute) and then drop it in drive and see how big your burnout is and find out how much a new transmission is gonna cost you as well.

You're a fucking waste of space. GTFO

Douche nozzle.

johnyb · July 11th, 2011, 07:30 PM

im 18 i have a pretty good knowledge for something i just got into.
i also know 300 hp with a soft top is a pretty fucking stupid idea..I see your an asshole, hope you don't drive like one.. you flip a spider buddy and your gone. I know enough about cars to know that convertibles get laughed at when they roll into cars shows. Its a forum made for people to freely ask questions with out getting trolled on. so you GTFO prick.

Elemenohpee · July 11th, 2011, 07:35 PM

umm we have multiple drop tops at our car meets and half of them can bust me pretty good they all get mad respect, you can go over 300hp with a soft top lol. If you want to get technical you will create less drag pulling 300 horses in a 0-60 than you would a casual stroll of 70mph on the highway using half of that power...

300hp? I achieved that long ago youngin and you'll most likely never see that with your GS. Don't be the new guy starting crap. Just don't be that guy...

The last one was "4gwaaaaat" or some shit. He's practically a ghost here. Don't do that to yourself.

I've never got laughed at when rolling into a car show. I normally get alot more comments then the coupe guys when I roll in. I don't know about you "buddy" but I don't drive a spider. I have a Spyder. Learn about the car before you talk shit please. So yet again showing more ignorance.

You know what, you're absolutely right, this is an open forum meant for people to ask questions, but I do believe in the forum rules it asks you kindly and nicely to use the fucking search button before asking a question that may have been asked 4000000000 fucking times.

johnyb · July 11th, 2011, 07:41 PM

soft tops and high speeds are always a bad idea... there ment for blondes who drive casually and were little scarves. i didn't say they couldn't go fast... i said there a dumb idea and everyone knows it.

no offense but there are a lot of very powerful convertibles on the market

deprydation · July 11th, 2011, 07:49 PM

Obviously this guy has never heard of:

That would be the 2011 Gallardo LP570-4. 570 AWHP from the factory.
I believe the top speed is around 205...

He showed his ass when he made that stupid comment.

Also, in order to make any convertible, it has to be capable of sustaining an roll over accident at a minimum of 35mph. The roof rails on the Spyder are capable of handling a rollover. Please just stop making an ass of yourself.

That argument as a whole... is just fucking dumb. boohoo a little bit of wind is in my face, a convertible has every right to go as fast if not faster than any car on the market. As long as we keep "supercars" out of this discussion a convertible is not impracticle in any way shape or form. Again why would you think 300hp is too much for a convertible?! You opinions are unedjucated and unjustifiable

Lets discuss this.

You're saying Ford is stupid when they made the Mustang GT convertible?
BMW is stupid with the Z4, 135i, M3, M6, and various other models?
Chevrolet is stupid with the Camaro SS convertible?
Nissan/Infinity is stupid with the 370Z/G37 convertible?
Mercedes-Benz is stupid with the new E class convertible?
Porsche is stupid with the new 911's?
Nissan is stupid again with the 300ZX Twin Turbo?

I think I've proven enough to show how ignorant and stupid you are. Considering all of these cars are WELL into or HIGHLY over 300hp you sir are a confirmed dolt. Please go play in traffic.
