Check it out.

looks cool says it works. not sure how much more power you'd see for the price though.
$189.99
Not to be a buzz-kill, but I've read forum posts from a few people who have tried these and say they noticed no major difference. Also those threads went into extensive detail on why supercharging a 2-cycle engine does not work well(if at all). Do some searches about this before dropping $190 is all I'm saying :)

Notice they make no claim of boost pressure and there is no waste gate. :wink:

My experience with supercharging real motors, tells me that o-ring driving this thing means it makes no boost. It uses a helicopter type fan in the housing, basically just beating up the air. And SAR is correct, you don't supercharge a two stroke piston ported motor.

Been there, done that, and it doesnt work!

Unless I completely misses the idea, this thing would make less power than a good tuned pipe system. The cooling fan probably helps as much as long as the cowling fits snugly to the inlet! It seems that burned gasses do not contain the oxygen left to do anything more than push fuel into the lower crank case, since the piston does the porting.

Ray and I both tried to steer these guys down the right path, but I think they knew better.

They are trying to compress the incoming air, nothing to do with exhaust gasses. But you are correct, a tuned pipe is the path to the promissed land, as far as two stroke piston ported motors go.

OK then I have another power solution. NOS baby. And it does work!!
Strap on the blue bottle for more HP!! :mrgreen:

Yes, in four stroke speak, Nitrous does work.

No it works on two strokes as well. piston port engines reed engines to.
we've been doing this on the drag bikes for a while.
There is a video of them using the NOS on a truck you can clearly see and here it works.
