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.

from the eram website N/A mr2 (more than likely 5sfe)

my car with just the injen short ram with heatsheild.

the moral of the story is this...

the 5s (MR2) is at 104.2 hp to the wheels stock
the eram added a +3.2 hp for a total of 107.4

Manny had his 5s dynoed (before the turbo) and he was at 114.6 and 115.1 hp (with only and Injen SR intake and stock cali-spec exhaust which has 2 cats).

anyway, $300 for 3 hp ? about $100 per pony. A swap with an average cost of $4000, starting out at 105 hp and ending up with about 190hp = about $47 per pony.

edit: spelling
