making a s/c
im making an electric supercharger, looks like the ones you get off ebay but way better, (dont ask lol) but i just needed to know... should i put the little thing before or after the MAF, and i do have a boost guage so i will try to see if i can get a reading from it..., if it works ill show pics and everything but i dont want to be embarrased if its a P.O.S and doesnt even work...

if you know about r/c cars, then im using a mamba brushless motor, its 8000kv and im using a 3 cell lipo pack with 11.1v,if im not mistaken thats 88000rpm.... and im putting a prop on it and sticking it inside the intake tubing, then i will see if it creates any boost.. if it does, i will put a switch on the bottom of the gas pedal so it turns it on when im at WOT....

Unfortunately it will not create a boost which will increase power, as it is incapable of moving the volume of air required. In fact it will probably create an obstruction.

i put my project to an end... i relized that though my prop was good and the blads were close to eachother where little air could get back, and it blew fast... the motor would instantly overheatt, not to mention id have to use an r/c car controller to turn it on while driving
, i will look further into using an electric leaf blower with a power inverter, theres a vid on youtube with a guy using one and it has 6 psi....

Why not use an electric motor to turn the compressor half of a turbocharger? I could see a setup like that working well
