  • Electric supers? WHY?

    please tell me why the electric superchargers dont work.. theoretically if they had enough rpm to move enough air shouldnt it work

      You answered your own question. The electric motor does not have enough hp to move enough air, and the vehicles charging system doesn't produce enough amps even if the motor would spin enough.

        axial fan compressors are terrible efficiency.

        it would also require roughly 25-30hp to spin a good electric blower... in terms of power thats about 23kW of electricity... (For comparison your A/C usually pulls 1/20th of that).

        23kW @ 12V = 1900Amperes... 1900.... 1.9kA

        DId I mention your alternator is only good for 105amps? We're talking something that would require 20+ fawking alternators here JUST TO RUN.

        so, no, not a good idea.
