E Ram


 Share

Recommended Posts

I tried this sometime back when I was still driving my Lancer. The installer offered me: "you try and see. you put, if good, then buy. no good, you take out."

 

So, I put it in. I tried it. didn't feel a thing. so, to me, it doesn't work.

 

AT ALL.

 

save your money dude... same goes for the ADM.

At full throttle, you engine will suck in air faster than what the E-Ram is going to push in. In the end become a hinderance. shakehead.gif

The engine itself is an air pump by design. Every time the pistons move, they will suck in air through the air intake system. The E-Ram uses an electric motor to push the air in. It is an electric supercharger. In order to push that amount of air in for induction purposes, the motor has to be very powerful. However it cannot match the power of the engine breathing.

Full throttle = more air and fuel burnt.

 

I guess what genie meant is that the E ram would not be able to produce or generate enough air flow that the engine requires at full throttle and hence the E ram in return, will only cause more restriction to the air flow.

 

This could result in lower air flow being read by O2 sensor which in turn the ECU will reduce fuel flow to match the given amount of air flow and prevent back fire. Affectionately known as "ALS Effect" *pop pop* [inlove]

hmm interesting... thought gadgets like E ram / ADM air charger provide a slight turbo effect (also cost lesser for a TC or SC) to allow more air to come in lor..

 

so i m kinnda surprise that why its said that it will become a hindrance

Well if you think about it this way, with the ADM or the E ram thingy, whats the use of pumping more air into the motor if your fuel pump isn't powerful enough to keep up with the air:fuel mixture ratio.

 

That apart, more air more output. Stock intakes as we know are restrictive, stock exhaust has small pipings. No easy in = no easy out hence = restrictive in flow.

 

To put a genuine turbo you need say a panel or pod filter intakes mod to let the engine breathe easier with increase in air flow due to turbo charging more air into the engine. You need a slightly larger exhaust piping to facilitate the increase of sucked by the intakes.

 

A TC car with Intakes and exhaust mods allow your car to breathe easier and hence performance gains are most noticeable from there. It depends how much and how far (legal issues) your willing to go before you can plan what mods you can go with. Things like Broquet, E68, ADM, E ram, I wouldn't say they don't work but I'll rather you leave the car stock and spend those modding money on your fuel instead. [nod]

thanks, its suppose to work only at full throttle. did u try at full throttle?

 

dude, my foot couldn't be more planted onto the floor. any harder, I'd have kicked throught the firewall!!!

compare how much air pressure a turbo or supercharger exerts in the engine to what the ADM or ERAM does. you'll find the ADM and ERAM to be useless.

 

The engine... well, lets just say it's powerful (Alfa) enough to suck big grains of sand through an air filter. and this is stock. It'll suck so much air, that the ERAM or ADM can't keep up with the demand. the blades, will eventually slow down the air into the engine. THIS will cause your car to lose power. Put it on a porsche, and you'll blow the eingine because the whole damn fan will be sucked into the engine itself.

 

The turbo or SC will push in far more air at a lower temperature than this thing. THAT works... not this.

 

save your money.
