Before anyone says this is impossible, I have already tested this and am in the process of installing one on my own sc400 and it is a good option for for those who do not have skills to make your own exhaust or choose to retain A/C.

I am running a t76 turbo powered by a 12hp(almost 10,000 watts) brushless motor that spins up to 75,000 rpm (t76 compressor map shows that 75,000 rpm flows enough for 700hp) which is powered by a 24v battery bank (2 seperate car batteries mounted in trunk). 400amp Electronic speed controller is used to controller the motor which only comes on at WOT and I use a rpm switch to automatically activate/deactivate turbo when shifting to save the transmission.

There is no lag and will give 100% power immediately I use a servo controller to regulate the speed of the motor (boost level) and a 12/24v alternator charger to charge my battery bank off of alternator. You get about 15 10 second WOT bursts at full 75000 rpm or before having to wait for your batteries to charge. More if you are running less rpm.

Setup is similar to this but with a bigger turbo and faster/stronger motor . Home - TORQAMP The problem with the torque amp is that it does not flow enough for larger motors. I have bypassed this issue by supersizing the turbo, the motor, the electronics, and the size of the battery bank...


Anyone interested in a setup like this should know that it is 400-700hp capable so it requires at minimum both intercooling and supporting fuel mods (FMU/larger injectors/ 255lph fuel pump).

Best part? It is removable and can be used on any vehicle

In case anyone doubts I actually did this. I have built and installed my own electric supercharger using T72 internals a 12hp electric motor that spins in excess of 75,000 rpm and and created a charging system that will charge the battery bank I use to power it with my alternator.

Hey bro, would I possible to contact you to have a chat about how I could go about setting up this myself? Would really appreciate it cheers.
 
12 horsepower is around 5KW.

A good Lexus alternator will put out 140 or so watts, so about 7 mins of charging for 1kw. So you need to run the engine or 5 mins to cover 1 minutes use of the supercharger,

Now this assumes the vehicle doesn't have any load on the alternator.

If the car needs (say) 50 watts to run that gives only 90watts to charge the battery. So it's now 11 mins for every minute.

I don't think it would be much good at Pike's Peak!

Please correct me if I'm wrong as I'm fairly sure I've been wrong before. Ask my Wife!
