Full throttle Electric Supercharger Build Thread

[Robftss]

Auto on/off mod.

-pull back loom
-cut green & yellow wire
-solder to DPDT relay (N.O.) as shown.
-relay coil: 1) to chassis ground, 2) run wire through firewall to switched +.

Any DPDT relay will do (2A minimum)

Thks, Rob.

Today is going to be the day this thread hits 250k views! Would have never believed it starting out 6 short months ago. We are all truly lucky the Rob has developed such a awesome product for such a awesome car....and the gains, i never thought i would see the day that 80tq and 50 - 30 hp was so damn EASY!

Lets see some vids guys

If anyone needs one, I still have one left over, just PM me your address.

EDIT - all gone

Their Rdson is one of the lowest at less than 55v of operation.

Can someone give more details about the controller etc? There should be a separate board handling the charging I'm pretty sure.

Pretty interested in the 30024v version. Damn you guys for bringing these near the tax refund season!!!

The 3077 MOSFET is to small.

Current applied video.

No doubt the easiest plug and play solution.

@DAEMANO you installing yet?

Only on the bench. It is mad!

Rob what do you think is the estimated psi you could hit with the dual setup?
Edit: couldn't watch video: he states 11 psi

[migueralliart]

If you click the video he mentions 11psi.

Rob I think you're need to start patenting some of these things man.


Ohh shoot looks like someone did back in 1997

A laypersons thoughts on this. No affiliation to Phantom superchargers at all.

1. I doubt this is the first attempt to patent the idea in the U.S. as the concept had been around as long as the internal combustion engine itself. Of course patents are meaningless without the means ($$$) to protect them and the jurisdiction to validate them. This is a U.S. patent, see point 3.

2. Rob sells a kit of parts that the buyer can install as a system, not the fully assembled system itself. Much in the same way there are kits sold that can be used to produce other patented ideas (e.g. kit cars, gun parts, etc.)

3. Rob's in Canada.

Patent law is a funny thing. Given that the fee has gone unpaid, he may be able to file patent here.

Agreed.


Its funny thou in that patent it lists the voltage of the system significantly higher. This is ok for a car application but the main problem becomes the charging of the dump pack. If it is higher voltage then it gets more complicated and expensive. I agree with everyone else in that Rob did an excellent job keeping the cost down.


Rob,

In your research phase did you check the compressor performance maps? It seems some of the GT28 inlets hit high efficiency between 55k-65k. You're probably combining larger vanes into smaller housings which seems like the way to go.

If only cars were using a 36V system like the germans envisioned a while ago.
