Re: HKS ghetto, doesnt work, half turbo supercharger
 

The HKS does have a planetary gear system to raise the rpms at approx 6:1 ratio, then figure a 2:1 drive belt ratio..........

Thats 12:1 ratio and 8k rpms = 96,000 turbine rpms.

Played with one this weekend, but not a HKS. HKS uses a bigger inlet housing and impeller..........

You cant compare the hks to that garbage bkst5yu487yt posted....
I mean comon, quit being so pro-american and accept that there are better products out there made in other countries.

Ummmm, correct me if I'm wrong, but that IS a supercharger called a "Centrfugal Supercharger" compared to the commonly seen.....my mind is blank. :l

i haven't looked into the differences of the companies or brands. but i do know that hks kid is legit! it comes with everythign you could possibly need. it even has a t/b spacer. there is some R&D going on if they are shipping that kind of stuff with it.

Re: HKS ghetto, doesnt work, half turbo supercharger
 

turbos are centerfugal superchargers also they're just turbine driven and not belt driven.

Re: HKS ghetto, doesnt work, half turbo supercharger
 

im talking about the one u mentioned earlier, obviously not the procharger

Re: HKS ghetto, doesnt work, half turbo supercharger
 

well i can agree that they are too expensive for what they do. but it doesnt mean they dont work

from what the website says the purpose of their little s/c things is to add a little kick in the butt to an engine, so 4-5psi will probably do that.
