Electronic Supercharger?

Anyone ever hear of an electronic supercharger??

I dont know if it is worth it or what it can do for me? anyone have one? will it make my air fuel ratio weird?

These things are the biggest joke ever. There is no way that this thing could move enough air to even give you the kind of pressure you would get without anything at all. This thing would make your performance worst, not better.

Cheeezy as hell, a definite impediment to performance. Better as a interior heater fan booster.

It's a 833 Watt motor on this supercharger. That's a lot of motor and a lot of energy!! It should draw approximately 59 amps and require its own heat shield!! Driving lights would only draw 10-15amps.

Straight from the Q & A section:

13.I have a stock air box, will RAM still work?
Answer:YES! It also is designed to bolt on to the intake of your existing stock air box with little or no modification and the same 4-6% gains *(except late model Fords, Audis, BMWs, Nissans, and Mazdas equipped with Mass-Flow Sensors (MFS)).

As fas as I know only the 10 valve 850s and some s70s with 10 valve have no MAF.

If I were to install a 900 Watt set of driving lights I would be looking to install an upgraded alternator at the least. If the motor is truly 900 Watts it may be able to force a substantial amount of air through the intake.
Not saying I'll be the first to buy it, though. Let them (buying public) try it and read the reviews. That's the way I usually tread with untried technology.

Until then the leaf blower looks far more effective, and has its own power source!!

900 watts does not imply the ability for the fan to move air it is just a measure of how much electrical energy the motor converts to heat/ mechanical energy. In one spot on the web page the advertise 40,000 rpm http://www.superchargerswarehouse.com/ in other places they claim 29,000 http://www.superchargerswarehouse.com/h ... swork.html, they claim 3PSI here http://www.superchargerswarehouse.com/ but list 1 psi here http://www.superchargerswarehouse.com/faqs.html, and they claim +80 HP gain here http://www.superchargerswarehouse.com/ but list 5-15HP here http://www.superchargerswarehouse.com/faqs.html. So until they get their story straight buyer beware!

If the fan motor is not geared it would be able to spin VERY quickly at 900Watts unless the motor is extemely inefficient and converts a large proportion of this electrical energy to heat instead of movement, which as I said would mean you would require a heat shield. Fan blade design would be a major factor in its ability to move air. The relay supplied is only 50 amps when @ 833 Watts at 14.5 volts it's drawing 57amps.

When Bosch make one I'll consider it.......

I would not get one even if Bosch made one. It would never move enough air to be efficient. Don't forget that the alternator that is supplying the power is taking power from the engine.
