E-Supercharger: An e-charger is HOPELESS on an engine of large capacities, it simply cannot spin fast enough to create and "boost". They work by increasing volumetric efficiency. Basically, on average, any engine is around 80% efficience in terms of the total volume of air the engine can draw into its cylinders. By adding the e-charger to a small engine you can increase this efficiency, at which point the flow meter knows the additional air has entered the cylinders, and adjusts the fuling to cope. The smaller the engine, the bigger the effect, as the bigger the difference between the normal drawn air and the amount the charger can force in, and in the case of the 107 is DOES work. Note, biggest boost is produced as lowest revs therefore! Secondly, the charger motor draws the MAXIMUM pull from the battery as it spools to 38,000 RPM from a standstill, this take 0.3 secconds approx, and so to cope with this, and the additional draw it would cause on the alternator - which saps power - the voltage regulator stores current, and releases it as required for that split second spool-up. This is NOT a substitute and never will be, for a REAL Turbo, but it does boost power and torque when you need it most, i.e overtaking etc. E_chargers have come A LONG WAY in recent years, and bear little resemblance to the computer fan type units of old. The car will be dynoed at some point in the future.

Still to come: Boost Gauge, C1 Cup Race Exhaust, Possible ECU upgrade, and a trip to the Ring later in the year!
