Well after we got done getting the Sprint Booster I felt that some one should try something new so a got me a sponsorship with E-Racing Motorsports to try out their Super E-ram in my crossfire. The twin E-ram kit is on order and I will install one in each one of my intakes while keeping the K&N air filters inside the air box as normal, so not to use the huge looking filters provided in the kit.
I will also not alternate the cold ram stock set up. What I mean is I'm only adding the E-rams to the intake and not alternating where the intakes begin or end the air will not be restricted either when the blower is not on.
I don't want to get involved in another HP and dynos debate but I will tell you if its easy or not to install and if its a good upgrade to perform.
You can find all the info on their site for now or through my site:

How it works:
The e-Ram is an electrically powered forced air system that uses a 791 watt axial flow fan to slightly pressurize the intake air while it rids the inlet and filter box of most all restriction. It is designed to operate only at full throttle, since this is when you want the most air pressure available to your engine. By slightly pressurizing the air available to your engine intake system, the air becomes more dense, and is matched with more fuel producing the increased HP to the wheels.

Super e-RAM-KIT





E-ram + crossfire engine= more fun.

 

hehe, man you're crazy!!

 

I don't even know what to say anymore.

 

Interesting gadget but don't you think the blower is going to restrict air flow when not at full throttle?

 

man we are a desperate and cheap lot. its still amazes me no one has sprung for the $6,500 dollar supercharger if not the one for 8k. i been spending alot of time on the gto forums and hundreds of guys have spend 6k for their superchargers on a similarly priced car. weird.

 

Just buy an SRT-6 already!

 

yeah because automatics are good, for me to poop on!!

 

Yeah... Could work, maybe 5 hp ?... I believe it's designed and built by a SCCA driver here in California who runs a red Porsche 944 that I spoke with about a year ago... Give it a try and let us know what you think !!!

 

weren't you planning on running these a while back hddp?

 

I was going to test them, but never came to terms with the supplier. Then realized that my car would be re-classed if I installed them.

 

Psuperti where did you get your carbon fiber dash kit? Is it real ? I'm thinking i might want to have one it looks really good.

 

Ebay Item number: 150025313949. You do need more glue then the included amount, but its really easy to apply. By the way someone here has the same kit in the wooden design.

 

HDDP what do you think it can happen if the e-ram turns on at the wide open throttle, while I'm using "Wet" NOS a the same time?
Because I can make the e-ram on a toggle switch, instead of mounting it on the throttle-linkage for activation of it at full throttle. And The NOS I just push on the button when ever I want.
Its just not clear to me what the extra air can do to mine nitrous VS. fuel ratio.
If anybody else can give me an idea, that is most welcome. Thanks everyone!

that number doesn't bring anything up. how much was it and what was the name of the ebay store?

 

$143.50 + $10 shipping item: 150025313949. RDK Performance.

The guys over at boosthead.com are releasing an alternator mounted turbo kit. It looks like they pressed a pulley onto the back of an alternator then connected a small turbo up to it with a belt.

 

How much psi does it produce? I can imagine it's capable of feeding a 6 cyl motor, maybe a motorcycle engine??

 

The ESC™ 350C Electric Supercharger will not work with the crossfire because it only works with 3.0 L and under. I like the idea but $1,695 + 8 hour labor $700 = $2,395 + Tax.
This makes me love the Super e-RAm for $596 retail at 1.7 PSI and 9-11 Horsies.

ESC™ 350C Electric Supercharger.
Drive System consists of one 8 HP electric motor.
Power Source is an independent, non-parasitic battery bank.
Max Recommended PSI 5 PSI on a stock engine.
Maximum CFM 455 CFM.
Maximum HP 400 hp.
Maximum Duration 15 seconds.
Installation Time 8+ hours. Requires basic mechanical, advanced electrical knowledge.

 

It's not powered by the alternator, it is just using the axle of the alternator as a means of getting belt-driven power from the engine.

 

Only time will tell, and I'm sure that the eRam will show some improvement over the stock intake setup. However I believe 1.7 PSI and 9 HP are "optimistic".
I mean I just don't see how that is mechanically feasible using any sort of axial fan.
