Junk Electric Supercharger or Turbo [Merged 1-7] intake fan gimmick

[dTERM]

http://www.electricsupercharger.com/


Anyone used this? They claim 5-15 HP gains...even on an already compressed intake system. 1-3 pounds of boost from an electric fan for $300. Let's hear it, anyone got one, anyone got pics? Howabout dyno test scores? The ones on the web site look good...but they ARE selling it.

now if u go puttin it on a turbocharged car, it would just be a restriction

I think it would actually be rediculous, not a restriction. This damn thing has travelled every forum for ever car I think.

YOU ARE ALL WRONG! i had oine on my 93 prelude VTEC, and it make a BIG ####in difference. mine was the real E-RAM. me racing my buddies JRSC civic si, and me with i/h/e and the eram was a good race, he ended up pulling me about a car length..me without the e-ram made him pull about 3 cars. it made a noticable difference that i could feel. now if u go puttin it on a turbocharged car, it would just be a restriction, but on an NA motor, it works, believe me. i also had it on my 4th gen accord. made a big difference on both.

Hrmmm I think I could do the same thing with VTEC and ECLIPSE stickers splashed all over my car

Try getting consistent times at the track and then adding the e-ram thing. Racing your buddy on the street and feeling like you pulled on him doesn't exactly scream miracle product.

Its nice to know all of us w/ common sense and the numbers to back it up "ARE ALL WRONG" though. Maybe I should go against the grain and ignore the numbers and get this amazing power adder for my DD

 

[philipkrotch]

well i personally used it so take a lick. i raced with it and with out it and i didnt just "feel " a difference, it made a difference. and why wouled u not have consistent times at the tarck with it? it activates under WOT with a switch? sorry man, but for someone who is supposed to have common sense, ur not making a lot of it. i used it on 2 cars and it made a significant difference, u cant knock it if u have no experiece with it.

 

[leakyfaucet]

It's called the placebo effect. You are expecting a difference in power so you think you're getting it. Or you're just trying to justify wasting $300.

You couldn't of missed the boat anymore then you did.

I was saying that there was dyno numbers and they showed the product to be useless.

You said "I raced my buddy and pulled on him more w/ the E-ram so it works"

I said, go and get consistent times at the track or numbers on a dyno. THEN, add your
miracle product and see the result.

Then you said "why wouldn't I have consistent times at the track w/ it, It activates under WOT w/ a switch".

I guess I'm the one not making sense huh??

 

[SexyDSM95]

Along with what I originally stated I think I will get better results with stickers....SO the new question is what stickers give me the most HP????

 

[Aikouka]

Doesn't a big computer fan have like 30 CFM ?? and i heard some hydroponic fan can blow 400 cfm how about using one of those???

A Vantec Tornado 92mm fan pushes 112CFM (and it's quite loud at 52db )

There've been so many of these things that come out and are revered as miracle products. Yet, they never seem to work. I think there was another product just like this, and it was also worthless.

 

[philipkrotch]

o well, u cant say shit unless u use it. i used and it worked. 750cfm is a lot of air. the ONLY one that i have used, or have heard of working is the real E-RAM, not those bullshit ones on ebay that u can get at a boat shop.if u get on the E-RAM website, it has vids of the thing flying through the air cuz it has has so much power, and it shows it blowing a fire log across the ground like its a piece of paper. o well, id rather have a turbo neways.

bwahahahahahahaha

I've got a tornado if my t-25 blows i know what im using next...

THank you someone finally going for my idea! I think the big windshield banners give you more torque though!

*smack*

 

[97Eclipse99]

I bought it like in 2000-2001 and i never knew about this Forum. I just read some other posts by people and noone tried it but i had it. So i thought i would post that its not worth it. Shit people jumping for no reason and people talking about turbo kits i didnt have money to buy a damn turbo for 3g's and that was my first paycheck i was 16, and the guy saying you hooked up the "Throttle Body Sensor". I didn't touch the Throttle Body Sensor at all. So everybody chill i just wanted to tell everyone my OPINION of having it.

 

[adgators99]

ok, I hear you, but anything that blows more air into the intak will help, maybe not give you 50hp or whatever, but you should notice some gains. anywhere from 3 - as much as 35 hp depending on setup. The e-ram things are garbage and a rip-off idea of another company except e-ram patented their idea. the results come from hooking two of them together in a line. so you should feel some gains. for $300 though it better be in the upper 20's to 35 hp though or that's a lot of money

 

[Malenko]

what?


the fan actually SLOWS the air flow, its a blockage, I wont get into the lagistics of it, but there is no way that basically having a fan removed from your intake will effect the car at all, take it off, maybe reset the ecu call it a day and dont tell anyone else you bouyght the thing

*unsubscribes*

 

[Defiant]

Okay. The dog has caught its tail.

As good as the idea seems -just as it seems to be a good idea to hook up a generator to a motor to generate the power to turn the motor to turn the generator- it simply doesn't work. Which is why not everyone you'de ever heard of is running a bilge blower on their air intake. Nor a Shop-Vac.

 

[GDNF2ET]

I've seen a Y- shaped air intake on modded corvettes that have a 3" K&N filter on each end of the Y that funnel into one pipe that goes into the MAF and throttle body.. What if you put one filter low to catch cold air, then had this fan pulling that air up through a 3" hose to one end of the Y ? The fan wouldn't be a restriction then because you would still have the other 3" filter getting unrestricted air...It seems like you would get a ram air effect as you launch from a stop.......

 

[boostaddictgsx]

if you could rig it right, i can see how that would work, but im not sure how you would wire that, and how would you fit it in a DSM anyways, i mean, DSMs are the focus of the forum, right?


Powered by VTEC, I eat them everyday

 

[Royalty]

For the time and money it would take someone to fab up a way to mave two intakes and then install the e-ram you couldve purchased a bigger turbo.

Buying an e-ram......

I've actually heard of many people saying that the real E-RAM works for them. They've all stated that there's the fake e-bay E-RAM and a "real" one. I'm actually leaning toward the side that these things actually work if you don't use the fake one - not that I'd ever buy one.
