Somebody needs to create the following topic:

Mods that don't work, save your money.

And sticky it. Or we are gonna end up with a hundred of these threads
wherein some of our more impatient members will start flaming.

Here is an electric supercharger with a completely different approach and it seems to work!

Combined one of those with one of the ebay mod chips. I am putting down 180 wheel horse and still getting 50 MPG

ChinoCharles · 03-25-2009, 05:16 PM

A charger forces air into the intake system. Why couldn't you accomplish that electrically? I don't get it.

I would think it would work but how well would have to have something to do with the brains of the unit. It would have to have some sort of controller that based it’s speed off the RMP. If the motor just plugged into a switched fuse then it would push to much at some points and be lacking at high RPM.

You would still be having to use some HP to power the unit but I would think it would be less them a turbo or supercharger. If it was set up with a nice interface so the driver could have a few levels to run with the push of a button and be able to tune the curve a little I would think it would work well and there would be a market for it.

*** Warning I did not do any research of the current technology of the current systems. I did look at this link and it looks like it was set up with an on off so would have 2 settings; on and off. The money would have been better spent using to blow cold air into the stock air box.

regardless, electronically, you would just not have enough energy to produce enough power with the system. You could sure produce some good power if you had 1.21 JIGGAWATS!!!!!

firebob · 03-25-2009, 06:41 PM

I’m not saying you’re going to get 12 pounds of boost off of it. But I’m sure there is a market for something that is controllable. How many people out there have products that change there power levels that are adjustable on the fly at the driver’s seat?

If the brains were using a VFD to control the fan then yes you would have a good amount of boost. Yes I am thinking about stepping out side of the box on this and putting some technology that is not common in car’s but something that is reliable and could be made cheap.

I’m sure a system could be put together that would run on 600 watts on full power. It would still need to draw some wattage when you were running depending on the fan setups but it would be a lot less power. I’m not sure on all the cars computer systems but would think you could get away with just grabbing an RPM signal and letting the computer do its job.
