the e-ram, my experience Options

[celicaST]

ok, first off, this is NOT a thread to debate whether this product is beneficial or not (ill put that to rest soon enough). ive argued the idea of an electric supercharger on the other thread, so NONE of that here. plus i guarantee you will lose the argument this thread is to document my experience with this controversial product. i realize im taking a gamble, but for $300 i figured i might as well. i wouldnt have bought it unless i was confident it would work. this is what im getting for those who dont know. it is a 833watt, 25000rpm motor capable of delivering 800 CFM in free air
2006 e-ram
it will be installed between the throttle body and the existing stock airbox so as to retain cold air intake. so ill be the guinea pig, and i will post my honest impressions after installation. before you ask, i will dyno only if i can find one nearby, and for a good price. if youre so inclined for proof, feel free to paypal me the expense
also, if all goes well, i plan to run the motor at 16.2 volts to increase its power to 1135 watts to increase boost pressure.

I don't doubt that it wont work if the fan is of good quality. You won't need to worry about leanness at 1 psi. Like Manny showed, id expect about 5 hp.

Btw, that hooks into your tps and adjusts its power, right?

yes as long as the fan doesnt allow significant backflow and the motor is powerful, it will work. it does connect to the TPS, but it doesnt adjust power. the motor only turns on at WOT. it draws 60amps when its on so it can only be on during bursts to prevent overheating and draining the battery. manny do you have a dyno of you car without the injen? i assume both those runs were with it on.

by the way, should be here by next week sometime. im going to run some tests on it while its out of car before i install it.
