Turbo/Supercharger and Intercoolers for RC cars???

[fohnjetzer]

I recently ran across a forum on another site about superchargers and intercoolers for rc cars. I was wondering what everyone on here though about the idea. Will it really work? I thought that that much air being forced into an rc engine would force it to overheat and sieze up? I guess what I am wondering is if this thing is for real or is someone just out there trying to make a cheap buck off rc car owners? I also read something about intercoolers being used on rc cars. If you have any information or comments they would be greatly appreciated.

supercharger work best at blowing motors up. I saw a kid waste his money on it. The motor becomes more finicky and dies easy. It witn worth it unless u drag race.

yes, that's why I clarified. A blower is effective on a 4 stroker. Some 4 strokers come with superchargers already installed or even built into the block

That would be the best way to go, its too bad the 4 strokers are big big $$!

It's too bad OS discontinued that 4 stroker for car applications. It was a 17,000 rpm 4 stroker... damn, that'd be bad ass with a blower eh?
