Slowpoke 3rd Gear August 29, 2002 Share August 29, 2002 No. Its just as useful as those Subro, Cyclone, TurboJet, TurboZet gimmicks. If you really want FI, either bolt on a supercharger or turbocharger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondeo Neutral Newbie August 30, 2002 Share August 30, 2002 How fast the fan can spin to suit the high flow-in from filter? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vtim 3rd Gear August 30, 2002 Share August 30, 2002 >>No. Its just as useful as those Subro, Cyclone, TurboJet, TurboZet gimmicks. If you really want FI, either bolt on a supercharger or turbocharger. . This e-ram uses a industry fan, that is a 700 watt, 50 amp axial-flow compressor that blasts out 3 lbs. of thrust at 750cfm . As for my car, it works well when my high-cam is engage (I drive a ES8, Vtec) giving it an extra push from 4800 RPM till red-line at around 6700 RPM . It was well tested on my recent drive to Kuantan & K.L (see message Post ID : 44078 with Paul75ts & Lester). I'm not so sure whether it will have effect on other cars . Of course it will not provide those power surge that you expect from a SC or TC , however it does provide an add boost over stock at a smaller price.

Slowpoke 3rd Gear August 31, 2002 Share August 31, 2002 well, it you feel that it works for you and you are happy with it, then good for you. But I feel that the gains are not worth the exorbitant price. I prefer gaining horses from old-school ways like porting and polishing, overboring, stroking, raising compression, changing cams, etc cheers :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vtim 3rd Gear August 31, 2002 Share August 31, 2002 Actually, I bought it second hand (about 2 months old) from another owner at S$420 . As my car is still under warranty, I wouldn't be doing any thing to the internal of the engine as yet . Maybe, after the 3rd year, upstroke to ES1 with CAM change . This was available from one of the shops in J.B but at around RM$1900 . The preivous owner was always having the fuse blown when ever the E-Ram was activated . When I look into the wiring, I realised that the J.B workshop did the wiring wrong . So, I've redo the wiring & it was working ok during the Kuantan & K.L. trip . Will most likely go for Dyno to check the result . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huggable Clutched August 31, 2002 Author Share August 31, 2002 Where did you find this deal? So there's no agent locally? How much extra boost do you think it generates? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huggable Clutched August 31, 2002 Author Share August 31, 2002 Guess the filtration rate of the air filter plays a part also. The engine might need to be re-tuned to optimize the extra rush of air!

Vtim 3rd Gear August 31, 2002 Share August 31, 2002 I got this from a guy in SHC who uses it on his ESI (EG). No local agent as I know, the authorized agent is in J.B. Will not know the extra boost until Dyno is done. I've driving my car on the NS H/W with different setting done to the car. First trip to K.L. was totally stock, second trip to Penang with only the resonator remove & a DIY CAI, third trip to Kuantan & K.L. with the E-Ram & Eibach Pro-Kit springs installed. I can tell that there are improvements on the engine & handling department. The next trip will be with K & N drop-in & DeCat. I'll most likely do the Dyno after this stage. It's still a be weak on the first 2 gears but 3rd on wards is not too bad for a 1.5 SOHC Vtec engine. I've done quite a numbers of trip on the N/S HW (since 96) on my previous car, (my 3rd car & 2nd Alfa) 92' Alfa Romeo 33 1.7 16v & I still like the overtaking power of the Alfa over my current civic. Prior to that, I've also drive on those small federal roads (since 1990) on my 1st car, 89' ford Laser 1.3 & later (in 1992) on my 2nd car, 90' Alfa Romeo 33 1.7 QV.

Vtim 3rd Gear August 31, 2002 Share August 31, 2002 Maybe not, as the manufacturer 'claims' to have only a 1/2 PSI boost to the air intake. Well, like I say, I'll only know after the Dyno session Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huggable Clutched August 31, 2002 Author Share August 31, 2002 Wow that's a long list of car ownership! So I can say that the feedback from you about the product is positive Do let us know of your dyno results in time to come! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Neutral Newbie August 31, 2002 Share August 31, 2002 Hi bros, just wanna share my experience. Tried on my motorbike - RD125lc, long time ago during my school days. Used a motor from my dads car vacuum cleaner and connected it in the air intake, did feel a slighty higher end though it could be in the mind.

Super7 Turbocharged August 31, 2002 Share August 31, 2002 (edited) hi bro, i like your spirit of experimenting with home made improvement ..... i was thinking of doing something similar for my car's air intake by hooking up a electric fan somewhere along the way. Cheers Edited August 31, 2002 by Ysfoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Neutral Newbie September 1, 2002 Share September 1, 2002 Thanks for the encourgement Ysfoo. Am presently looking into diy C.A.I. Going to fabricate an airbox with a mouth connected to a funnel and piping which will be drawing air under the bumper. Will try to make the scoop as wide as possible so hopefully there will be a slight positive boost pressure at high speeds. Nothing to loose man just some time and effort, cant afford the e- supercharger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super7 Turbocharged September 1, 2002 Share September 1, 2002 i am really keen to learn how to do something like what you have planned to do. Can i follow the progress of your DIY project? or have a good look at it when it's completed? my intake currently is a chromed metal air box with a 200mm long metal pipe sticking out from one side, the air goes in thru the opening (about 25mmx40mm) at the 'mouth' of this pipe, the other end of this pipe is attached to the air box. anyway, hope to look at yours when i have the chance, maybe the next meetup Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huggable Clutched September 1, 2002 Author Share September 1, 2002 Hmmm... can get a 12V fan from Sim Lim, and install in the air-intake! But the amount of improvement might not be significant. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
