>I've got news for you: This ain't working.
1) If the "electric supercharger" could pump enough to have a tangable
effect
on hp you'd be replacing batteries and alternators on a regular basis.
<<<<<<<<<<<<It works, and will give you 3 % period. Ive dynoed it , the
racing pros of FREY racing saw it and its understood by everyone.
A . It only draws 30 to 40 amps. Less than most stereos,
B. It is only on for 7 to 10 seconds under WoT only. on
laguna its on for 40 seconds a lap on a 1:51 lap time. (which it is racin=
g
2 times per month on a street car) I run on a lightweight VW battery that=
has lasted all season and shows no sign of wear stock is a 75lb battery,=
VW is 18 lbs. You do the math here. MY altenator has lasted over 5
years withno matenance and brushes look half worn (normal)
2) With a stock battery and alernator once voltage collapse starts you're=
ECU
will be going haywire and you can say good bye to ANY power increase.
>>>>>>>>E C U will not go Haywire and does not go haywire, where did you=
get that one? it only comes on for a few seconds at a time and only draw=
s
30 amps max.
it produces however, 500 cfm at a .25 to .5 psi which is enough to remov=
e
any restriction and provide a little compresson too!
PRoved on the dyno, 9 hp on a 4.7 liter 4 hp on the 1.6 liter
3) Rob is right - the MOMENT the "electric supercharger" comes on you hav=
e
a
load on the engine
>>>>>>>>comon guys, its not much of a load, the Altenator can only produ=
ce
90 amps max anyway, and at 1 hp draw you are getting 4 -8 hp gain. thats=
due to the MIRACLE of air fue mixture burn energy production. wow , what=
a
concept.
Of coarse there are ways to work around all of these issues, buy why? T=
he
only thing I can see a scheme like this has going for it is the ability t=
o
schedule engine load by running two batteries (one engine management and
one
"supercharger") and electrically switching the alternator on and off. But=
I
just don't see much upside here.
>>>>>>>>>>> NO need, its dyno proven, track proven, batteries still inus=
e,
Altenator fine, cpu working fine, air fuel mixtures at optimum for power=
and saftey and its easy to install and good value for the buck. WHAT MO=
RE
DO YOU WANT.
Now, where did i put that air tank and who said they had some old Lucus
injectors....
