View Full Version : E-ram
Have a look at this site www.electricsupercharger.com (http://www.electricsupercharger.com)
if this thing were to work as well as they say it might be
worth trying one.
:devil:
Looks interesting, this one ultimate induction kit!
Probably have to take the stock filter housing out to fit though

I found a web page of a guy who has fitted it a an Impreza E-ram impreza (http://users2.ev1.net/~subaru/E-Ram_installation.htm)

Personnally it looks like a load of bo**ocks to me....might work a bit on a normally asperated car, but on a turbo, the turbine will only out put the air at the speed the turbo is spinning irrespective of the inward flow of air...
My penneth...
Feel free to rubbish it.

Nice, but i'm sure that you could buy the ducted fan kit and motor from a model shop far cheaper than they are charging, they are using standard EDF parts!!
Actually i had the same(!!!) idea when i got my 16 valver and did my modified airbox. A model motor and the fan from a big hairdrier. Simple DIY work, max 60EUR/40GPB.

just a thought but.....
The fan will pull a large current from the battery, the alternator will then supply the same current to the battery to keep it charged, causing an increase in drag on the engine.
The gains (if any???) from the induction kit will probably be cancelled out by the hp lost driving the alternator IMHO.
It might work on a race car, running without an alternator.
You don't get owt for nowt.
It supposed to work on WOT (wide out throttle) or full throttle only activated by a microswitch. Though i don't think thats a solution either. Turbodyne is actually is a real turbo compressor driven by an electric motor and that's about 0.2-0.25 bar max, too.
This may sound very crazy, but what if you were to
take get rid of the electric motor and replace it
with a .15 nitro engine and possibly an intercooler.
:confused: :D
