Exactly what I was expecting out of this. That's some nice wheel spinning torque. I'd be just as excited to see another 1 or 2 psi. This is on an all stock FR-S?
Edit: And F*** that torque dip Too bad centri superchargers don't come with an integrated motor on a clutch... |

Doubling the batteries won't work to really help much if continuous use is your goal. In series they would fry the esc, and in parallel they'd just take that much longer to charge between runs. You'd get roughly twice as much run time from each charge, but the limiting factor is still the charge rate. What you want is a higher voltage system (same wattage with less current) with higher c rated batteries. This gives you more power both charging and discharging. I have batteries that I can charge at nearly 1:1 run/charge time in a 700-size helicopter (11hp in a package smaller than a beer can, with zero maintenance required ever) running idle up (governed head speed with 80-100% throttle at all times).
It's amazing shit. |

Holy buttfuck Batman! I researched the product and expected worthwhile gains, but this is so much more than I imagined.

Kickass! Even better than expected. Another psi or two and you'll be outrunning innovate cars .

Wow that is really amazing. I guess I'll be adding this to my NA build... Just seems so win-win. I look forward to further development of this kit. Is there anyway you guys can look into using higher quality batteries like the Shorai LFX series for people that want to spend a little more?

Forget about batteries start up more motor RnD! How easy it is to remove the motor from that compressor?
May have a nice after market doing motor development and just selling the new motors in exchange for the old ones as cores... |

Might just have to add another battery and jack up the voltage.

Holy shit dat torque! Any chance of a boost plot?
Very nice results. I am gonna guess here but I don't think this set up would last on a road course where you need continuous boost? On another note, this + a laggy turbo would be a fun twin charge project! =D |
