Electric Turbo?

[Nebor]

jesus christ I thought this thread was a joke.

An electric blower will NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH AIR FLOW. IN FACT IT WILL MAKE YOU LOOSE HP BY BEING AN RESTRICTION IN THE INTAKE PATH.

There ya go

That's the real deal. A real, working electric supercharger. It require 4 car batteries with a standard alternator. With an upgraded alternator, you can run lightweight Odessey batteries. It can push 10 PSI @ 2000 rpm and drop off to 3psi at 6500rpm. A few minutes of normal driving will allow your alternator to recharge the batteries for another "shot" of forced induction.

Tell you what all knowing nebor, you buy it and PROVE it works.

still stuff otherwise.

Look at the dynos on that page? Or the various national racing news coverage of them running their cars at tracks? They nearly doubled the rwhp of a ford ranger 4 cylinder.

So why don't you spent a little bit less time being a smart jerk, and a little bit more time looking at the information I provided. Sound good?

What racing team uses them?

The same one that uses RICA ECUs and IPD sway bars.

The electric supercharger isn't practical for a racing team. It is practical for cars that have no super or turbocharging kits available.

If you do a search for Thomas Knight on google, you'll come up with countless magazine articles.

I've never seen a bunch of people so inclined to NOT learn something new. VS people must be allergic to knowledge or something.

Hey Nebor's I got this bridge to sell you.

Dyno sheets eh? Oh boy how often are those fake? jesus.

Do it man, dyno them back to back. Would the extra 10hp (MAYBE) be worth the extra weight of carrying a bunch of batteries?

BTW I did. call us when you've spent over 10 years building your own motors and every aspect of your car. Then take a look at the "bRiLlIanT !d3a oF a eBLoH3r!"

10 PSI is only worth 10 horsepower?

Whatever, it's not worth talking to someone who has their ears closed. No wonder VS is the amazingly popular hot spot of innovation that it is. :rolleyes:

[Guest DougK]

Nebor go do it and prove us wrong, or do you want me to whisper encouraging words in your ear to make you feel better about doing it?

Go run it at the drag strip before you install it after you add another 100lb's worth the batteries to the car. See what kind of difference it really makes. :rolleyes:

hahahahahaha....this thread is funny! :lol:

See? You're all over the place in your argument. First you say it only adds 10hp, then you say it adds a lot of weight...

I agree, it can add a lot of weight if you don't upgrade your alternator. And it would be more like 200lbs than 100lbs with 4 standard batteries. But if you upgrade your alternator, you can use 4 Oddesey batteries that only weigh 8lbs a piece. Or if you have several thousand to spend on batteries, you can use those fancy capacitors that weigh basically nothing, and discharge\recharge instantly.

Obviously this isn't perfect for everyone. But it has it's uses. And it does work.

I can't believe this thread made it so far.

[Guest DougK]

Then prove it.

I still say it doesn't. Even if you get a small gain in power (and a useless one at that) it'll be overshadowed by batteries (weight) and price (of fancy batteries). Plus lets go ahead and consider the drain on the electrical system.

Hell you prove me wrong with back to back drag runs (not with 1 pass super "off were talking STOCK and then "super'd" I'll paypal you 20 bucks. Otherwise you can bench race all you want, the experience is stacked in my favor kid.

The real deal does'nt need a few minutes of normal driving to "recharge" so you can have a couple seconds of boost....The real deal [sC or Turbo] can do way more than 10 psi at a more broad RPM range. With the money you'd spend buying one of those stupid things and upgrading batteries/alternators/etc you could have reliably turbo'ed most any car.

You also got to realize that just for that a few moments of boost you get, you got to upgrade your fuel system to one of the standards of any other forced induction application.

Not worth it IMHO.
