Do you think this will really give us 15 more horses ?

yes it will lean out your engine and probably cause it to blow up ...steer clear !

lol, it won't even do that. This thing has been around for years and everyone who has tried one has reported a power LOSS.

I examined this not too long ago as a possible modification for my RX300.

What I concluded was not enough hp for the $$$.

However, I made a couple of other observations:

1. Putting this thing in the main intake tract reminded me of a Tornado device when the pedal is not at WOT. For those of you who have never seen this eRam, that it is how it works at WOT only, see http://www.electricsupercharger.com/faq.shtml#1

I would prefer something that I could make slightly adjustable, just like the way my ram air setup works on my RX300.

2. The way this should be designed (even though I consider the amount of hps way too inadequate for the amount they are charging) is to set it up at an angle to the main intake track. Basically, attaching like a PVC/aluminum pipe piece with a side entrance so that when not at WOT, it won't block the normal air intake tract like a Tornado does.

However, I must give the eRAM credit, it works better than some other stuff that I have seen like the Tornado. However, better to save $$$ up for an intake or a direct flow muffler (exhaust always makes better hp over an intake in terms of hp/$$$).

that thing is a scam,its restricting air when its not working and only giving 1psi when it is. usually they are nothing more than boat bilge pumps.

when something sounds too good to be true....

you'll need a leaf blower to make 10+ hp

I know someone who did this on a late 80s Mustang down here. It had a push start he had to engage when he started the motor. Did not do much on the track and never saw the guy after about the fifth time he came. Always seemed like it was choking as he would floor the thing off the line (it was an automatic).

they have a belt drive system and a battery system

Growing up in Miami, I heard about Thomas Knight's works of art previously. His stuff is 100% legit, very good designs and careful thinking. No doubt some of you who run up in WPB know his stuff at Moroso.

Perhaps attaching a hamster and a wheel under the hood can yield 13 horses This device is rubbish.

Might as well pour battery fluid into the gas tank...

Sounds like it puts strain on your alternator big time though. And that price is rediculous.

Lexmex

Yeah, the price I agree with you on that one.
