well the question is does it compress the air? The turbonator just makes it "Whirl" which is pointless.

If I was you I'd just delete that question, as WWIII is about to break loose.

There is no car on the market today produces enough electrical power to make a fan produce enough positive pressure to effect HP. The reality is that most of these systems are more of an obstruction than anything. Most of the time these guys take the lowest baseline hp run they can find, and then run their product through a dyno repeatedly over several days until they can show a hp gain. And as most people know, dyno results will change from day to day. Or they just make up BS and say its true.

Either way, this doesn't belong in Under the Hood. This forum is for technical questions, like installs etc. This is not the right place for asking about products. Unless you want to know how to install them anyways.

An Elise owner got a $600 electric supercharger to test it out. Powered, it gave 4 to 7 hp. Turned off, it restricted flow by 3hp. He decided it wasn't worth the cost and returned it.

Well, if the regular e-RAM isn't good enough, I bet the Super e-RAM is!

Of course, it's not clear what a 120amp draw on your alternator would do to it.

Actually, Super e-RAM kind of sounds like a guy in a prison-buddy movie. HPH
