The electric supercharger idea is a longer term plan, to be carried out if and only if I have the spare time for something completely experimental. I've gotten this far: I've found that Vortech sells bare centrifugal compressors of a suitable size, and I figure it could be powered by a starter motor if it's geared up by a factor of eight or so. Maybe a starter motor fed 24 volts. I would need a heavy duty DC motor controller and a boost pressure sensor, and some homemade electronics to regulate boost pressure according to throttle position. I have no plans to make this an extreme performance mod -- I would not upgrade the engine internals or anything -- it would basically be a proof of concept.
Later still, I plan to get myself a car converted to electric power. No more gasoline.
