Has anybody heard of this guy and his company? He used to produce turbo kits for many cars and now he's into superchargers. I emailed him asking about the G35 coupe and this is what he responded. What do you guys think?

I just released a universal Electric supercharger--similar in operation to NOS--you get 15 second bursts from it, and not continuous use. The batteries charge at home from a regular battery charger. Boost is adjustable, and on a 3.5 engine boost will drop off to 3-5 psi over 5500 rpm. Being that the hp is the same, the boost will be higher at low engine rpm, and lower at high engine rpm. My 2.5 Avenger made 15 psi at 2000 rpm and dropped off to 7 psi at 7000 rpm. Your engine is not safe at boost levels over 7 psi, so the pressure relief valve would be used and adjusted to 7 psi. You would get 7 psi the second you floor it, and then at high rpm the boost would taper off in a linear curve. Here is that info and a pic or two:
ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?? MY AWESOME ELECTRIC SUPERCHARGER CAN MAKE 20+ PSI BOOST**. IT IS AN TWIN-ROTOR TYPE SUPERCHARGER WITH 18 HP ELECTRIC DRIVE SYSTEM. ADD 75+ HP TO YOUR CAR WITH INSTANT BOOST. CAN FIT MANY CARS UP TO 3.5 LITERS* (215 CUBIC INCHES).

THIS ELECTRIC SUPERCHARGER DRAWS 15,000 WATTS FROM TWO CAR BATTERIES. SIMILAR TO NITROUS--BUT CHARGE IT AT HOME FOR PENNIES A CHARGE.

PATENT PENDING DESIGN OFFERS FULL BOOST IN LESS THAN 1/2 SECOND. FLOWS UP TO 405 CFM @ 5.5 PSI (THE SMALLER THE ENGINE THE MORE BOOST YOU WILL MAKE)

MY ' 96 DODGE AVENGER 2.5 V6 AUTO TRANS MADE 119 WHEEL HP COMPLETELY STOCK. ADDING THE TKTURBO ELECTRIC SUPERCHARGER, AIR FILTER, AND EXHAUST, RAISED OUTPUT TO 220 WHEEL HP.

8-31-03 I JUST TESTED MY UNIT AT 30 VOLTS AND MADE 20+ PSI. BOOST DROPS AS RPM OF THE ENGINE INCREASES, SO A SMALLER ENGINE WILL GET MORE BOOST AND MORE POWER. MY 2.5 V6 AVENGER MADE 15 PSI AT 2000 RPM AND DROPPED TO 6 PSI AT 7000 RPM.

I USE AND RECOMMEND THE NEW ODDYSEY 680 BATTERIES. THEY ARE ONLY
15 LB EA AND 680 AMPS.

 

I'm pretty skeptical. Though I know electric FI will probably become more of a trend (a lot of manufacturers are doing research in it) this guy's sales pitch kinda raises my bullshit flag.

Even if it worked as advertised, 3 grand is an awful lot for a 15-second supercharger that you have to charge the batteries of every time at home.

 

I wouldn't do it until I got feedback from people that had used it. alot of feedback

For those who fought for it, freedom has a flavor the protected will never know
G35C Blk, 6MT, Lthr, Aero, Prem

 

For that price you should be able to get a "standard" supercharger or turbo setup that lasts for a bit longer than 15 seconds and requires no recharging. [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]
