This strikes me as an AS SEEN ON TV type thing, but i found it on ebay, an in some ricer mags. they say they make power, and flow 450cfm.

Im sure they produce less heat huh? LOL

 

here a debate link on this product on another site(RICE POWER SITE)

i bet its like that tornado thing. it might provide some gains but for the most part you just paid to bolt a paperweight on yur truck.

 

I was thin king about getting it for my g/f 01 civic. they only make like 85hp. I dont know, I have to agree with the whole paper weight thing.

 

I find that extremely funny. I would just stear clear of things like that. but thats just my opinion.

Also, anyone notice how much effort they put into talking about the different colored lights and stuff at the top of the ebay add?

i remember reading an article about a real electric blower, the person writing didn't make any crazy claims, the cost was alot more than $79 or whatever that one is and he stated it was good for 4-5psi of boost on a small engine(like 2L or less) under 4000rpm, he was saying it would just make the car more drivable and feel like a larger engine but in the higher rpm's it wont keep up and infact becomes a restriction, seems like there was some kind of bypass when the thing couldn't keep up anymore so the air could get around it.

seems reasonable to me but what do i know.

 

i've seen those on ebay a few times with a few variations <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> . nothing more than a few high school kid's economic fair projects.

As much as i dont like rice, and hate driving them, my g/f needs something cool. i think i might do a small turbo on the ricer. i think she'd enjoy it. She likes fast ****, like her 00 gsxr 750 so i figure a tuurbo would be good for her. Thanx guys
