Thoughts on a Electric Supercharger?
Anyone every use one of these on the 4.0L? The price is not bad, seems better than getting a 6000+ kit.
Heres the link: Jeep electric supercharger-Turbo Kit for 6 cyl motors Thanks! nevermind

 no really Prepare to get flamed in this thread. Do a quick web search and you will learn real quick, an elctric SC cannot work for an automotive application. That tiny motor cannot compress enough air. |

Might as well try to fab up a supercharger from a leaf blower.

well maybe it'll cool the intake air a bit... lol
that's as bad as the AIT mod using a resister to make the computer think the intake air is freezing.

Don't flame the guy. He had a question and now he's educated on it. That's what this forum's for.
Better he came here than buying the dam thing. |

well, given the fact that a 4.0L probably sucks 400-550 CFM, I would think that would be a bad thing. The simple bottom line of an electric supercharger is that for one to actually work, it would require an electric motor big enough to suck more energy from the engine than it would produce. They are snakeoil.
