Anyone remember the E-Ram?

those were the good old days!

to be fair, those guys ran those dyno tests without the synergistic benefit of a Cool Collar, so their results are inconclusive.

I might want some of those little fans for a scale R/C hovercraft model (if they could be had cheap).

The leaf blowers were pretty weird, but once again they move air, they don't compress air - not like a turbo.

What kind of name for a car is the "Charade?" If that catches on can the Travesty, the Masquerade, the Mockery, and the Farce be far behind?

That was cool. Thanks.

Mark something (Kibbort??) with his track-only 928.

You get better performance out of the e-ram if you put a cool collar on it. Got to cool that compressed air!! ;)

Most of Ohio is flat, like Michigan.

Other than a literal translation...
'Charade' equals mountainous, twisty, purist driving roads in the warm south of France.
Just above the town of Nice and area of Cote d'Azure (AKA next to blue).

There is a road racing track there known as Circuit Louis Rosier and/or Circuit Clermont-Ferrand.

Premium driving, IMO.
Bucket list.

There actually is an electric supercharger out there that works. It uses multiple batteries to run a multi-hp motor connected to a compressor. The car "stores" energy in the batteries using the alternator. When you need a boost, you flip a switch and the compressor kicks in.

It is not a bilge blower or leaf blower. It will make real pressure.

These will actually work!

Great video. Very entertaining. Thanks for posting!

How about the amazing tornado fuel saver?. I had an older Golf come in last summer, that kept setting off MAF codes, ( not uncommon for a VW of this vintage) . Maf readings seemed low in the scanner, and I found no vacum, on intake leaks, so I replaced the MAF. Code came right back on my test drive. I tinkered with it for a little while, and took off the boot to check, and clean the throttle body, and found not one, but two tornado's in the tube. Removed them , and walla, code gone.
I guess if one is good, two must be better right? This thing must have got 75 miles to the gallon.

It's a popular thing with the frs crowd. This guy made a kit that activates on wot, has lots of dyno charts. Full throttle Electric Supercharger Build Thread - Scion FR-S Forum | Subaru BRZ Forum | Toyota 86 GT 86 Forum | AS1 Forum - FT86CLUB
