Electric Turbo (more info), A few websites for you to visit Options

[aEr]

This is obviously not for the anti-electric turbo people, but if you do want an electric turbo or are not sure what to think about it. Check out these websites. Sounds like these turbos really work, but I dont know about the durability. Sorry if these websites have been posted already.

Ok guys Ive read so much about this stuff over the last few years and this is what Ive gathered:

#1 The energy required to spool an ET to sufficient rpms through the power band is just not feasible with current technology, I read somewhere it would take something like 10 heavy duty batteries and 5 high output alternaters to pump out that much electricity.

#2 Nothing is impossible, only improbable.

#3 If you want something that is going to be a drain on your drive train then get a supercharger.

#4 Exhaust pressure is free, stop wasting money on z3 fenders and wings and ****in use em.

#5 Like someone else said at low rpms a good ET will suck in more air but as soon as you even touch the gas peddle your going to be sucking in more air then the hair dryer can blow, which means your restricting inward air pressure.

#6 kiss your engine good bye when some of that plastic breaks off.

#7 Think about an engine working at 5000 revolutions per minute, just think about how much air that is. No little blower sitting on your intake is going to match that
