Supercharger
Sorry dude, electric superchargers just ain't gonna get it done. Granted they might be able to produce one or two pounds of boost to an engine that is at idle, but there's no freakin' chance for an electric supercharger to produce any meaningful boost at a higher power setting; in fact, I'll go so far as to say that the Mickey Mouse grade electric superchargers that have been discussed here will actually cause a restriction to be formed in the intake. Net result, less power.
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.
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.

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
