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.

Why is everyone argueing about how it works? For all i know, no one here has done it. for a FACT, i know none of you guys know how much power lose comes from an alternator drain. So dont use that as an argument against the Eram. enough said about the alt, unless you know exactly the power lose and dyno proven.

secondly those dyno sheets dont prove much. I can get those gains in power by moving from LA to alaska. The air temperature, sea level, oxygen levels, equipment milage can make the car have an extra 15 hp. For instance a 400k miles old mr-2 in the desert at 130 degrees celcius vs a 2 miles mr-2 at -10 degrees. I know this as a Fact. So dont use the dyno sheets as a liable source for debate.

The ONLY thing that matters with this Eram system is the psi of boost at redline. If you can prove it provides at least 3 psi of boost at redline. Then this is a good upgrade. Dyno sheets will not do anything if the car is not tuned for the boost curve.
