don't remember who it was, someone at the last cypress meet i went to, we were talking about electric super chargers. totally forgot about it until now.
this is what i was talking about, a guy by the name of thomas knight created one that uses 3 motors...

he use to have a really sweet website where you could calculate hp numbers with boost, but it looks like he took down a lot of stuff

ive heard of these, and im not willing to trust that it works, but there is potential. the HP drain by the current draw would be far greater than that of a normal supercharger.
BTW those import mags will publish anything that bolted up to an import. I saw an article about those fake caliper covers that look like brembos one time in an import magazine.

It probably works for a certain about of time but for the cost of an alternator that produces 700 amps i rather just buy an actual supercharger. Think about the hp you'll lose from running such a big alternator.

yea i agree. but on the other hand, lets say you use it just for track use. every run or two you just swap out a battery. it would be nice to have boost right off the line.

It feels better knowing you have that kind of power on demand. I think tuning would also be a problem.
