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'm with Jeff on this one. If you don't have a before and after dyno, you won't be proving anything.

did you read what i will do? i said i will try to get a dyno both before, and one after. if i can find one nearby for good price heres how it will go: before dyno will have two runs, one as it is now, and one with k/n replacement filter. after dyno will have two runs, one with it connected, one with it disconnected. also, i WILL post speedometer videos of my car at WOT on the same stretch of road both disconnected/connected. and hopefully, although not in near future, i will make it to the track to post 1/4mile times (most likely in the summer).

Trying to get dyno time is different than actually doing it. I was making a point that without the dyno you're just wasting time and money. If you really want to prove something you WILL need dyno runs.

i got some math for you


Eram + Celica = Slow Car

I personally love the "rules of this thread." How are you gonna come in and talk about something I use on my desk at home and not stir up debate?

well i overestimated the self control of some people. i know there is a debate, but i wanted this thread to be purely informative because theres another thread with the debate. i thought we could continue debate in one thread and have one for testing a product.

We flame because we care.

ok ok thanks for caring lol. as for your comments about trying vs getting a dyno. if you read what i wrote before, i said i will make an effort to get a dyno (trust me, i want to see the numbers myself). however, my primary concern isnt to please you guys. again, i will post WOT speedo runs (which in my opinon is valuable evidence).
