I just checked out that website, the picture of the fan looking apperatus is a bildge blower for a boat engine compartment. It will not produce 2 lbs of boost. It takes about 20 hp to make 6 lbs of boost so you will need one hell of an electric motor to make real boost. There is a reason sc's are crank driven.

That's nice. It would probably get you a 10% increase on a 5HP lawnmower.[sm=lol.gif]

right right...

because it wouldnt bolt up to a V8, its not a real performance part. there are guys who have gotten substantial gains from high end Echargers.

they are also somewhere in the area of $6000 when you take ito consideration the cost of adding an extra alternator and several extra batteries.

It would seem to me that the hp draw from a second alternator would be about the same as a charger. Why not go with a solar powered echarger?
