its lame to be honest. plus you could take the money you would buy that with and buy a nitrous kit with way better results. ok even if they make as much psi as stated (1psi) think about it every n/a car has 14.7psi@ sea level from factory. say you had a civic ex (127 bhp) break it down to the wheels (110 whp) divide that by 14.7 then multiple that by 15.7 (atmospheric pressure + 1 psi) you get 116 whp. the same amount of power by adding an exhaust. (which is not button activated)

first i have to say that you are dumb ass!! nitrous sucks because its bad for your engine and shortens its life, second you only get power for short bursts, third you have to fill the bottle, nitrous sucks massive balls!! i don't know where you got the 1 psi from but your stupid if you think anyone could sell you 1 psi for 100 bucks, second you dont even have to go to the site to see that they claim 8 PSI. and an electric supercharger like that would work perfectly and much better than a waste of money on exaust for something that doesn't sound good anyway, what you tunner guys should do it instead of wasting all your money on a bunch of *** get a 350 V8 pump it up a little witch it so much cheeper and easier than little 4 cylinders, stuff it in your little ass cars with a munci M-21 and a 8.5 rear with limited slip and go have some *** fun cuz a v8 and rearwheel drive is always fun, like you front wheel drive guys just don't understand what your missing, and watch all your little friends lose very easily!!! and hey you've got a V8, you won't even need to race all you have to do is give it a little rev and you'll scare the *** out of them!!!

Sorry for bumping this old thread but don't waste your money on these. I was thinking about getting an electric supercharger too, but it looks like these things don't do crap. I was reading this electric supercharger article, and it looks like these things don't work at all

First off - V8 boy is in the wrong Website. And also a jerk.
I've never used an electric supercharger, but I bet you will not be satisfied.
I'm running a Zex dry kit 82011 on my civic ex. The results are what you're going to be looking for.
Very easy to install and I run the lowest HP shot of 55. You don't need to adjust the ignition timing or anything with that shot. Just change to 2 step colder spark plugs. I used the zex ones.
I've had no negative wear on my engine and ran through 4 bottles so far.
The kit cost me less than 300 off craigslist.
To compare I can stomp 1.8L turbo audis, V6 VW's, and stock B series hondas no prob.
Good luck with your car!

Nitrous is bad if ur using stock parts but if u build the motor right and have it tuned correctly with a good engine management system ur engine will be ok.
