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 wouldn't believe anything that has been posted on their own website. After all, they want to sell these things right? What you want to see is a completely independent test. One done by someone who has no vested interest whatsoever.

The only way you are going to prove if this thing has any worth, is to dyno your car as is, then fit the new system and re-dyno. Has to be done under the same atmospheric conditions. Otherwise, it is worthless. Any change in performance on the road could be psychological. And it'd take more than 5hp for you to notice any worthwhile changes anyway. I stand by my convictions which I have had all along with the eRam. Total and utter waste of money. If it was so great, then why aren't more people using them - and even car manufacturers for that matter?
