It's purpose is to push air into the intake manifold. It's debated if it's forced induction or not. I want to talk about this thing so badly, but I'm doing my best to keep my mouth shut. btw, some purpose built e-turboes are way different than leaf blowers. I suggest everyone do as much research as you can before posting. I've done a good bit of research on it, but I'll hold my veiw for a while. -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy

I'm serious guys, do little research before you flame. There are differences in quality of any part. Like those crappy ebay coilovers, compared to a set if Teins. It wouldn't be fair to say all coilovers are worthless just because the crappy ebay ones are. Would it? -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy

It wouldn't be fair to say all coilovers are worthless just because the crappy ebay ones are. Would it? i didnt know they made these. i was considering designing something along these lines for my senior project in mechanical engineering. to everybody making fun of this: this actual product might not be very effective, but there is NO reason it couldnt be. technically it could be done, and be just as effective as a traditional turbo. the compressor doesnt care if its driven mechanically(supercharger), exhaust gases(turbo), or an electric motor. not to mention the advantages this would have both installing and controlability. pressure sensors could be fitted to alter electric motor rpm to adjust boost accordingly (no more boost creep/turbo lag), could control desired boost easily and cheaply ( 5psi daily to 10psi runs?, no problem), and it would also be a convenient option to turn on/off. now with a large engine, this would be tougher to do because it would require a powerful (aka big) electric motor and a high discharge alternator to provide any significant boost. but with a 1.8/2.2 liter engine this is very doable, and actually has nothing but advantages compared to traditional supercharger/turbocharger setup. again though, it would need to be properly designed, and since it seems the ones produced are mainly marketed as a cheap alternative, i question there quality. of course with an eturbo providing significant boost, the other necessities would still be needed such as fuel injectors/pump, intercooler, fuel management, etc. the one disadvantage is efficiency (going to be less efficient than turbo, however id bet its similar to supercharger, if not more), but in my opinion the reliability and installation ease more than make up for it.

And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. |
