E-Ram Lives !
I found the following link posted on another automotive forum.
I see that blowing up a garbage bag is still his current method of demonstrating the performance of his product. http://www.electricsupercharger.com/demovideos.shtml |

The latest Excellence has an article on Mark's 928, and right there under the hood are what appear to be 2 E-Rams, although they're not mentioned in the article.

Mark was one featured in a segment on Sports Car Revolution (the guys from Dream Car Garage) about SCCA racing. Of course SCCA is a sponsor of SCR. Anyhow, the E-ram sticker was affixed in the 928 engine bay in the clips of the car.....
Now if a guy with an E-ram can get TV time...why not some others we know....ick! Oh, wait, SCR is not the coolest Auto-show out there...man do they try hard. Just let the stuff speck for itself I say....and get rid of that "Polish rock star" idiot...what's with him? Why? Speed Channel...Man I miss Speed Vision. |

A fellow named Roy with a 1976 911 Carrera states:
"Tell those when testing their car...hold on to the steering wheel when accellerating...my hands almost came off the steering wheel when the eRAM kicked in due to the unexpected power! I will send pictures and additional information. Let me know where to send the info to!!!" This shiot is so good. |

I saw Kibort's 928 running at Sears before an ALMS race, and he actually did quite well.
If he took the E-ram off, he would probably do even better.

My old Hot Rod 2-CV Had an Ami engine rated at 34hp.
The standard engine fitted to the car stock was 26 hp. The only differance was that the ami 8 Ducted cooling air in to the air cleaner. A Cheap Supercharger. This looks like a 250 cfm Bilge Blower Not enough volume . If he had Four of them them ,now that might be a different story. Last edited by SteveStromberg; 12-16-2004 at 01:22 PM.. |

We calculated in another thread that just from basic pump thermodynamics and generous efficiency assumptions that the device could not even provide a 911 with a PSI in boost.
At high rpms it might even become a restriction. For those who missed the thread on this device and have a lot of time on their hands here is some web drama for their amusement. eRAM electric supecharger dyno test day invitation next week |

Are there really enough suckers in the world to keep this e-ram scam alive, or is this just the guy's hobby?
