My purpose is to test out an unconventional approach to forced induction. This approach does not involve the large power penalty of a belt-driven supercharger, so the gains per HP would be similar to a turbo.

What sort of boost could you get with a 15hp or 25hp motor anyway

Hey, if you ripped off the little gas tank and cooling fins you could even put it where the battery was, it even weighs less -lol-
