FishWick 21 Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 LOL /\, that's doing the rounds on other forums too :-)In short, the crappy electric chargers you see on ebay wouldn't blow over a drinking straw. But there is currently development in proper electric superchargers. You need a LOT of cfm to fill up a VR6 and those hairdryer things just won't do. But the problem with pushing huge airflow electrically is the massive load on the alternator, and therefore you would be better off with a mechanical charger. Link to post Share on other sites
Just_Paul 0 Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 The most efficient electric superchargers use around 120 amps, to produce approx 17.1psi... i.e. 2.4psi boost, and the trouble of producing that kind of current... theyre just not worth it tbh! Link to post Share on other sites
golfrabbit33 0 Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 theres no way round it fella, boost cost ££££ cheapest way is prob a second hand super charger, all in for around £1500 near on 300bhp.kevs second line is spot on ! Link to post Share on other sites
