Net result, less power.
Heh you keep saying this wont work and that wont work, but you have yet to produce any data, or research as to why. I almost think you are only responding to argue? .. Like I mentioned before, yes ALOT of the electric superchargers you see on ebay, and other places are 'Mickey Mouse', but does that mean that the idea will never work? .. I was originally talking about www.superpowercharger.com . If you took a few mins to open your eyes, and read youd learn ALOT about where the future of forced induction might be heading ... heres a few links to get you started.

Elec vs Turbo vs Belt Driven
Just like some basic info

been following this and some of it is quite comical... however I will side with shipo on this one simply because I cannot see a 12 volt motor having enough juice to turn the fan fast enough at high engine rpm to produce anything. Now don't get me wrong... in theory it will work, but you would have to have a motor that would run on more than 12 volts to move some serious air, not to mention a custom ecu.

I'm thinking the above could only be written by someone gullible enough to believe the marketing bilge you keep posting links to. Question: do you need research evidence that dog poop will taste bad too?

Wait! There's another option... Maybe you're a marketing shill for the SuperpowerCharger folks and for every sucker you con into buying this junk you get a commission (which of course would make you a spammer).

Edit: Now that I've looked at a history of your posts I see that all of them have been in support of this product and all but one has included at least one link to the SuperpowerCharger web site. I'm thinking the odds of you being a spammer has just increased significantly.

Agreed, and Im starting to see thats where alot of people are confused or mislead. A 'FAN' will not cut it, whether it be a boat ventilation fan, a model airplane fan, or any other cheap stamped blade fan that alot of the ebay companies use...However a compressor wheel, in a matching compressor body, which is what the superpower site use, makes perfect sense. On their site somewhere, with their setup they mentioned you could get about 5psi on 12v. The motor mentioned is a DC brushless motor that could hit ~50k rpm, they use 2 per setup and then have some upgearing which brings the actual compressor wheel speed to like ~120k rpm. If thats not considered 'moving serious air' they also say you can upgrade to a 24v or 36v setup by using a larger altenator/batt. And i think its safe to say that with any FI application youll have to do some custom ecu work, or atleast go have it properly tuned.

I guess that if responding to the original posters question about something I think is going to help him, makes me gullible, and a shill and w/e you think so be it, lol. I never knew that defending oneself wasnt allowed. And yeah I have linked alot to that site, you havnt linked to anything. I guess I like facts, proof, research, real world info ya know..if all you can do is talk off the top of your head, then there isnt even a real reason for you to be posting imo

Facts? Proofs? Research? The web site you're so fond of (and I suspect financially associated with) provides none of the above; all it provides is slick sounding claims most likely written by some marketing guy. If you want real science, check out the archives at the SAE: http://www.sae.org
