turbo and eram

Sorry, just hard to believe a little electric 1/10 horsepower fan blowing some air around would do much. Maybe just all the ones I have seen are worthless and there are some that actually work.

just go to walmart buy a little electric fan and a power inverter...hook it up to some nice plastic tubing and run it into your throttle body

 

total cost: $75

 

then just go around saying "I got a blower" most kids will believe ya

i believe you that it works...but in my position it makes no sense

 

why spend $2000 on a superchager and put it on a car only worth $1000 bucks...when i could sell the car and keep the $2000 and put it towards a car with a blown 454 :twisted:

 

i still want more boost then an electric fan can offer anyways...even if i did have an LQ1

 

then again where not talking about my position are we... :lol:

If by "will it work" you mean can they be installed on the same engine without breaking shit, then yes.

 

If you mean will it do anything, then no. I think an ERam is a good idea on an N/A car, but it'd be 100% useless on a boosted car.

$2k should be enough to buy you some major headwork. That would be more than enough to destroy any electric supercharger. I will agree that they work somewhat, but a turbo is only about a grand more!

A different spin on the question that's been buggine me.

 

I'm not familiar with different types of ram-air.

 

I take it there are two types used with scoops. One is additional cooling on the intake and the other is forcing additional air mass into the intake. Is this correct, or are there other variants?

 

Would a ram-air set up aid in gaining more HP with a forced induction (SC or TC) setup?

so sonyman paid $2000 for that thing?!?!?! for a few tenths? FUCK THAT

 

Sonyman has the $300 plastic inline fan, not the $2000 one.

A big one will definitely work.

Whether the $300 plastic one really works or not... my logical side says that plastic fan can't possibly generate enough CFM's to make a difference. However, Sonyman has timeslips that seems to hint that it does. Who knows? I can't explain it. The gains aren't huge, but they're there.

 

It could be like prayer and healing. It really works, but you can't explain it scientifically. :)
