Just listen, this is about electric supercharger but..

[Jculler1610]

ok, i have done my reaseach on electric superchargers and I see that converting mech, to elec, to mech energy is a bad thing but I think i have a way to do this that will only go from elec, to mech. I have read through and made a design for one I will post it later. it is kind a large one. I will use a heat core motor that is 12 v and have it run at 12 v till the car is punched, at this point it will jump to 24 v. i checked and the motor will handle the power wiht out a prob. I have bought most of the switches and relays so far and they are rated at 30 amps. I will have a switch that goes to the slave batteries and the alt. soI can stop the alt. when they are charged. thus stopping the car from working hard when the sc is in use. After I have it made and finished I will do a psi test on it to see what it bench marks at. this may be a few months b/c i am have my 4t60e tranny rebuild wiht shiftkit, yea I didnt know they made one for it but the shop said it was no problema nd showed me the one on the screen for it.

if you are going to boost your car, a turbo or a REAL supercharger is the way to go.

[Kyles93Z34]

I like the idea. Keep us informed.

interesting. what kit they puttin in? i put the transgo and it didnt do anything much esp since it's an e tranny.

[Dave96z34]

A heater core blower will not give any boost. Not even 1 psi. Even at 24v it will not do much. If you whant to do the geto way do with a high power leaf blower.

[OldSkoolGP]

Well let him try it beofre you denounce it. It never hurts to experiment.

[dohcfiend]

this is a joke. right?

[Dave96z34]

All a heater core blower is a high volume air pump and will not compress air. Go with a turbo, pro charger or super charger.

You are going to need a higher static fan but the highest you are probably going to get that small is about 5" of static. And need a big motor for it

OK, their was a thread on this already a long time ago. It was the same thing except it worked, and was an off the shelf item. Someone should look it up. But not me.

Oh man. lemme whip out my trusty reality check. AKA Calculator.

So you have 30 Amps, and 24 volts. thats 720 watts. 743 watts is 1 horsepower. So its safe to say that the blower motor will put out barely one horsepower on a good day due to innefficiencies and heat. 1 horsepower will compress roughly 100 CFM to 1.25 PSI (considering average compressor losses of 65%) My shitty little 3.4 flows something like 300 CFM. so we are looking at deviding the 1.25 PSI by 3. roughly .4 psi of boost. Nothing to write home about.

Im just rattling some numbers off the top of my head, didn't check them too thoroughly. But the point I am trying to get across is that you cannot make appreciable boost with an electric supercharger unless you push a whole SHIT LOAD of watts. Im talking in the 8,000-20,000 watt range. That might get you 7-15 PSI on an average size V6. And to get 8,000 watts out of a 12V battery, you have to be pulling approximatly 670 amps. You'll explode the battery or melt the motor in no time.

[Rosez34]

thank you for providing the proof that it is useless

[SappySE107]

Ive heard a rumor that jeff at EP dynoed a 3100 with one of those electric turbos and gained 10 hp. While it doesn't provide boost, it will provide more air flow, like a better ram air setup. I can see it doing something small but boost...hell no.

As long as its not blocking the air filter, it could have benefit.

[Scott205]

i am curious why someone has never thought up the idea of a giant air compressor and hook that in. Atleast you could confirm you are getting a much higher volume of air, it would be available (for awhile) when you were on it, like a turbo

[Lyle's GTP]

I'm telling you guys that this set up is out there. They compared it to nitrous, and it used a bank of batteries in the trunk. You charged them up and when you wanted to go you flipped a switch and bam you had instant boost but only for a few seconds.

Some what better than nitrous in a way, because you don't have to refill bottles.

I'll try to find it.
