Electric Supercharger page.
Hmmm... My posts are getting censored or dumped. Here is a link to a page with an electric powered supercharger (they have an adapter kit, etc):

This thing kind of looks nice ... but w/CAI Id be afraid of sending some water up and into the Intake with the extra boost... Anyone else have an ideas on this..? I dont see how it can really add that much boost.... it looks like an electric fan inside a 3" housing.....

It would be tight. You would have to stick the electric supercharger on the engine side of a relief valve to protect the motor *and* engine from the water ingestion/hydrolock[sic?].
It would probably also work ok with the air filter up high (short ram). You would lose power during idling due to heat soak *and* you would loose the ram intake at 130 mph+ (if you drive that fast).
It gives you about 1 lb of pressure and a 1/2 lb gets eaten up in removing any parasitic losses in the air intake. This gives you about 5-15 hp at the rear wheels at full throttle.
Look at it this way, it is an experiment: you would only "draw" power from the motor at full throttle. Check out the dyno curves. They just say it won't work with some of the Nissans *and* it won't flow enough air for motors over about 5.x liters.
Could you image what that thing could do with an electronic power controller and a more powerful motor. In 3-6 years, we could be seeing this as an alternative to turbos and belt driven superchargers (just my humble opinion)!
BTW -- the motor spins-up in about 1/10 sec *and* there is a VERY powerful fan inside that housing. Electric motors have come along way.
Finally, there is a video of the guy pushing a power box around the floor with the stream of air from that thing.

But what about the noise that thing makes? It whines like a turbine in need of an exorcism.

Actually he's pushing around a "duroflame" log. (I guess the symbolism is apt).

I still like the idea of an electric powered supercharger. Hmmm... wonder if the CL-S would sound like a big vacuum cleaner (Ooh no...)
God, what where those Can-Am cars that had gas powered fans sucking the car down?
