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 can not believe this thread. I'm kinda of insulted that this would be even considered forced induction. This little tin foil fan is pointless. If you want to see the same gains just buy a cat back exhaust. That will proably give you twice as much HP this sheet metal fan would alone.

Make your own cold air intake, thats where you'll see some noticable gains.


Two parts you are going to need for this project to run right.

Part 1

Part 2

Then you'll be official.

Dont waste your money on a dyno or this plastic fan. Put it towards good use, like mentioned above. The money you would spend on this whole endeavour, you would already own I/H/E.

I cant believe some of you think this is a viable option.

dear god, now you too. have your read this whole thread yet? or did you just come yap in and post your opinion? like i said, its easy for you who have swapped or turboed to disregard it because you have no interest if it works or not. was that another cheap shot with those two links? real mature, ill let it slide though. its your opinion that im wasting my money. its 300 bucks, big deal. is it so hard to keep your opinion to yourself? i will be very disappointed if this gets locked, especially since it was mainly you, the moderators that disrespected my request, and began arguing. this thread, although its your opinion that it is not a valuable product, is still a valuable thread because i will post results.

i love it how all the 3sgte/turbo guys are math wizards and provide countless dyno sheets to discourage the man from even trying it for the community... he said its for fun, and he has already spent money on it. I find it interesting and I cant wait to see how it works out for you celicaST.

thank you.
