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 know about the dynosheets, i'm waiting for the eram to be fitted to the celica to draw my conclusions.
(Edit: i forgot to add) The reason why I am disreguarding the 3hp gain is because the mr2 was not tuned for he boost. If the Eram was tune, I'm sure we will see more then 3 hp.


but from a serious stand point: there is no way for eram to make 7.7 whp. With tranny efficeny loss, this eram has to pump out aleast 10+hp at the crank.

And we have to remember, with real turbos set up rpm increases with boost. With an eram, engine rpm increases and boost falls. And we are not factering in the cost of engine management to tune for the boost. The over all equipment cost will be around $700.
