Re: Electric Supercharger - give me a break..... (archive)

: What is important is how much air flow it will deliver. The super/turbo chager compres air/fuel mixtures, this fan does the same thing. If you push more air/fuel into
the combustion area using any method, the engine will respond with a more violent explosion. Turbo engines generally use a compression ratio of about 6.6/1 to
7.5/1. This is usefull when there is a powerfull fan blowing stuff into the engine and raising the compression ratio to 12/1 thru 15/1. With higher compression
engines say 8.5/1 thru 11/1 compression ratios the air/fuel loading from a large fan would infact destroy the engine, a smaller fan would just deliver an added little
punch, raising the compresion ratio from say 8.5/1 to maybe 9/1 or 10/1 for a short time, thereby improving performance.

This device if set up properly may in fact be a very inexpensive performance device. Do however research it further as I intend to.

Kevin, please explain to us how blowing air into an engine can raise the engine's compression ratio. You cannot, because it's impossible. You
post with such authority that some idiot may just
believe you, and i don't feel sorry for anyone
who does. Still waiting for that forced-air
compression ratio increase explanation.....

This electric supercharger scam has been thoroughly debunked by some very technical
BMW experts a long time ago, and anyone even
slightly falling for this garbage is immediately
labeled an idiot. It's no wonder this topic is
so taboo on the BMW mailing list. It's idiotic !!
