Air intake blower?

[dafirebird]

Has anyone heard of, or used a MIMOUSA air intake blower? This is simply an electric fan to install in the intake; after the filter, and before the throttle body. (I would add a link, but, due to my computer illiteracy, I have no idea how, sorry)Maybe try to copy/paste to the search bar what is below...

wow, that has got to be the biggest scam ever IMO. If it truly works ALL THAT well it would need something to pump more fuel in to the engine to compensate for the air so it doesnt lean out. Just my thoughts..

The only thing about this particular piece of junk that surprises me is how much they're charging for it. [img]graemlins/omg.gif[/img]

there is supposably an electronic, high power turbo... not like one of these knock off pieces. I saw the link forever ago. The thing REALLY DID generate 7PSI of pressure, but killed an entire battery on one run. They charge like 1G for it, its like a can of nitrous I guess, because you have to let the battery charge back up to full before you run it again.

I did a little write up about a similar device and a real electric supercharger a while back in the fellowing thread.

At BEST the Mimousa and similar devices MIGHT help to overcome a bit of your intake restriction, but I still think it's a little shady. According to their web site, this little marvel consumes "just 2.2 amps" which means that it's really a 26.4 Watt fan blowing in you intake pipe to help your engine breath easier. I think a good cold air kit will do the same thing much better.

(Btw, real electric superchargers consume kilowatts not watts. Lots of kilowatts.)

$600 dayum, i would hope it works really well for that much.

Thanx for everyone's opinions...thought i'd check with ya'all before my friend picks one of these up, only to find out it's probably not worth it.

Thanx again, Paul [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

running that much on a stock alternator will fry the regulator...

$600 haha, for the .0005 psi it actually produces, you might as well spend the money on engine mods that work, like cam, valves, head, exhaust.

those things make me laugh and then cringe that they actually get people to pay that much for small plastic fan.

Yup. The article I saw with the real electric supercharger showed that the car actually has a complete second electrical system to run the supercharger that he only turned on when he needed the extra power. It was kinda cool but pretty useless for day-to-day driving.

I'm not actually looking to buy one of these pieces of crap; one of my co-workers wants to upgrade his Honda Civic, (riiiiicer!!!) and he asked me about this thing. I've never heard of it. Thanx again for everyones thoughts...Paul
