Sooo, let me just wrap this up. Is the E-ram a good buy? Yes, yes? I'd get one if I didn't have to get my Pro-Flow MAF re-calibrated.

maybe,, somebody on here, i believe his name is Paul got one and didn't see good results, he tested his eram and it seemed to not have the power the eram manufacturers claim, but they looked at it and said it was good. so sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Okay, Okay you guys crack me up. I have been researching these ideas for creating my own electric supercharger, but have found that there is no way to get gains from the motor by means of an electric 12Vdc, brushlesh motor. By the way these can cost up to $300 to order.
Problem 1: These DC motors KEEP UP with the motor at best! These gains that people are seeing are from having a turbine blade in the intake path which, when it spins, causes slight vaccuum increase or.... in other words, the spinning turbine helps releave strain on the engine to induct air into it's cylinders.
Problem 2: Having something restrictive momentarily turning this turbine to create boost is actually a power loss. This turbine is securely attached to the 12V dc motor. It only spins on it's own after the engine reaches around 5K RPM.
So up until it spins on it's own you have a Spiral Max ( definately restrictive--maybe 2HP peak gains, loss in mids.)
Solution: I decided to take out the motor and replace it with a shaft and put specially ordered and sealed ball bearings on each side of a newer-made and custom 4" stainless steel blade that (has 8 inward curved/ 45 degree blades instead of 5 smaller plastic blades). The
new turbine spins freely even at low RPM all the way to the redline.
By the way I used a 4" blower housing for this one.

This is the only way to gain even numbers at any engine RPM and never restrict. No Dyno yet, but that's coming very, very soon. I am on the way to patenting this idea since the blueprints are copywrited to myself now.

Future estimates are around 20-30 HP depending on certain intake and exhaust components. Now if someone could just make an exhaust booster.

This is no Shite people. I would not lie to a fellow brotha! Latz.!....................................................................+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=power is the essence of mind!

Why not cut a small scoop into the side of the fender. Put a wire mess or screen in the inlet and run a tube or duct straight in to your filter. If you can't picture that, don't worry I will have pic when I'm done modding my ride. It's just like other "hood" scoope, just smaller and on the side. If you have ever been next to a C-130, it would look like the scoop on the aircraft's right hand side. I've seen a tour with a flush hole on the fender at a car show...same idea just add the air diverter.

You could do that, but I already am using this idea. Only with 4" tubing from the foglight holes to the engine bay and K&N filter. What is left out is some thing that actually increases vaccuum ability and spirals the air charge. Spiraled is more efficient and it sounds cool as well even when you are POTing it. On the highway with O/D off there is a high pitched scream like turbos and SCs are known to produce. These two mods are awesome in conjunction with each other. I know from experience. As far as a hood scoop you can install hood tie downs and pop the hood or fabricate a lift kit for little money compared to installing a hood scoop. battery relocation is essential so that air collects in that area instead.

Tim, come by my house in November with that rig. Big lawn=lotsa leaves, you could make yourself a few bucks! lol

Just route the exhaust pipe to your new intake thingy, instant flow!

That filter is too small for your engine.

Well tell Stazi that! I honestly think he should do the leafblower mod.
