Forgive another sideways jump, but there is something the writer doesn't know in the electric supercharger article. While I am sure this company has more resources than Thomas Knight did when he made his electric supercharger, I have to question whether this is workable on 12 volts as claimed in the article. Maybe if it is only to eliminate turbo lag, but that is an awfully expensive solution that engineers have done a pretty good job minimizing anyway. I guess with the really high boost levels such an engine can take, a really big turbo can be used with such a system.
More importantly, I like the thought of a 177 hp version. Of course, if this is possible, why not a 120 hp 2 cylinder?
