DaveT Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Up higher in this thread, there is a real electric one mentioned. If you are talking about a 4-5 HP motor with a proper compressor for an engine about the size of 1.8L then it's a real thing. An electric motor of that HP takes about 4-5 kilowatts. 4KW at 12 volts means you need 333 amps. Of course, this scales up and down with engine displacement.

iceageg Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 . . . It will cost me at least $2,500. . . It can be done for less than that if you do all the work yourself. Of course that costs you your time and inevitable busted knuckles. . . .Throttle it with a tps signal, and you're butter!! Higher up the thread RAD is pretty firm that he does not want to go with fuel injection. So within the scope of the most recent conversation there would be no TPS unless he piggybacked it onto the carburetor somehow. One way to avoid all that is the system linked a few posts up. It only engages at full throttle eliminating the need for a TPS but i'm guessing it would be a bear to tune a carburetor for the very sudden increase/decrease in air flow. Lots of good conversation on the topic if you care to re-read the entire thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
