btw - hooking a computer fan to your intake will have the same effect.

ok every one laugh at me here....
BUT...
i was thinking with these.. because i have actualy been in a excell with on (twin cam 1.8ltr i think)
and it does work below about 4grand.... quite a large incresse in powa.. you could feel it!

was thinking if you had one, put a swich in the altinator activation wire..
there for short boosts would be easaly atanable...

or am i just dreaming again?

Red_Zook -

There may be some gains to be had here, "under the curve." As I pointed out on another thread about this issue, a major automotive parts supplier has developed an electric supercharger that we will be seeing on production engines in the near future.

They may very well improve V/E at low revs enough to generate some real results. However, once revs increase, an inlet mounted fan just won't be able to flow enough air to boost peak HP measurably.

So like most internet myths, there is some truth in the use of a fan to improve V/E at low revs or small throttle openings, but I think there is plenty of marketing BS involved.

the problem with anykind of electric device, it requires hp to turn it, where does the hp come from the electric motor, driven by the power from your alternator. IF you want to run some kind of electric supercharger you gonna need some huge mofo alternator thats gonna sap hp anyways to run the bloody thing! may aswell just hook up a real blower taht will have ample hp driving it right through the rev range

Slightly different though.
The Garrett E-charger isn't intended as a supercharger replacement. It's intended to kick a turbo into life off idle.

just use a leaf blower

I agree Kiwibacon but my information does not relate to Garrett.

Who makes the other one?

I'm not a liberty to say. If the member who knows wishes to tell more that's up to them.
It is for an OEM application and imagine it will go onto a small european turbocharged engine for low RPM throttle response and emissions control. Apparently the complexity of getting them to work properly is daunting from an OEM standpoint. They are not designed to boost HP.

Apparently we will see the engine in about 3 years in a production car.

Your tripping, hyoondies are grunty cars, it was just the awsome brute force of the 1.8ltr that you were feeling

Oooh, a secret.

Sounds like a close competitor to garretts one. It'll be interesting to see which vehicles get it first.
