Full throttle Electric Supercharger Build Thread

[fenton]

It's really hard to tell until you try. The raw facts say 50 seconds of wot out of 160 seconds. With dual rechargers I think you could get it done with ESC boost in the straights. Keep in mind that even if you skip a couple of those shorter straights after a couple laps you will still be far far ahead if a stock frs as drag reduction will boost you to normal power levels and not zap as much juice.

Actually you guys are all forgetting that with the electrocharger he'll cover those straights in less time than he does now, so he might only need 45 seconds of boost time.

Question for the guys developing this, will this thing be offered with a tune and also I saw some pics of a black FRS with this ESC and what looks like the Perrin intake...is that their 2.5 or 3.0 CAI? Thanks!

Dual recharger means two alternators or two of something else?

Dual rechargers means two connections from the standard 12v starter battery...which is connected to the alternator.

Basically you go from 25A recharge to 50A recharger. In laymen's terms you go from 8:1 recharge to 4:1

If you have e85 available and open flash tablet you are going to be laughing....that is seriously the bang to buck holy grail.

You could try to use this to get the low down torque as a compliment to your turbo setup?

i've thought about how this would work in a sequential setup with a larger turbo, but the one i have now is small enough that the benefit probably wouldn't be worth it. if i had a 30r i'd seriously consider trying it.

This system is best paired with the vortech supercharger. The vortech has the top end that the ESC doesnt have. It would provably work well with the innovate system as well but the bottom end torque would most likely be more than the stock clutch could deal with.... Mind you this is all here say until someone TRIES it

It should be noted that someone has ran this with a positive displacement supercharger and it did very well. That was on a different platform however.

Not sure how using the belt driven option by adding parasitic lost to the system is better than the exhaust driven option?

Its not really better but the top end addition with the low end lack of torque seems look a good match. Until someone tries it we won't know. Its also worth noting that the vortech adds so much up top that the ECS may be a restriction as well. As I have said before....this is all just message board talk until someone tries it.

Indeed, compound charging sounds like fun.
