Electric Superchargers

I just wanted to know what is the most a stock d17 lx motor can handle when you look at a supercharger.... 5 psi safe?

looking to buy a real electric one, not the fakes.

its new technology or something, not those cheap ones on ebay, pricy and runs off of electric motors that produce a lot of power and work with superchargers. no pulley or alternator connection, they come with side batteries that recharge so when you kick the gas it gets power fromm them and lasts around 15 sec... good for 1/8 mile. it does run off you alternator but by wire and only recharges the batteries when you push it. it doesnt hurt electrical system.

that is retarded, $2000 for 3 6hp motors and a blower that last 15 seconds before a 20minute recharge, thats gonna do a awesome on the street!! hey civic buddy lets roll! ::tires burning:: hey come back , i gotta recharge my 24v battery array! anyways, electric motors are very inefficient, electric current produces heat and magnetic field, right, well it produces much more heat than magnetic field... so to produce a field strong enough to produce that boost level, your wasting most of that 24v battery bank due to I2R losses (heat lost in the resistance of wiring). thats why no one has a electric super charger, they're super in efficient! just my nuclear reactor trained .02 -- Jeremy

eram makes electric superchargers and they will give you only 3-6% increase in hp at wot. they can't produce the same thrust of an sc or turbo. if you really need that extra 3 or 4 hp - then go for it, but you may not even notice the difference.
