Any guesstimation how much less power the motor will generate?
It's really hard to say. The motor I'm testing first is capable of 4200W peek power so that would potentially put it on par with he Phantom Electric Supercharger, but I'm really not expecting it to work as well.

I'm planing in getting into the shop sometime this week to do the machining on the compressor. I've already assembled and installed the 12V power system in the car. In theory the motor I ordered should get her sometime this week or early next week.

Even with very low boost I'm excited to see what a 12V system can do.
