Air Intake Blower Infiniti Q45 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MimoUSA Electric Supercharger

GET 15-25HP JUST BY CHANGING YOUR AIR INTAKE FILTER

Need boost? Can't afford a turbo or supercharger? Air Intake Blower is an adapter to either your short ram or cold air intake. It will work on absolutely any air intake brand including AEM, Injen, Mimousa, Weapon R etc. Simply remove your current air filter and put the Air Intake Blower as a replacement. It's that simple. The Air Intake Blower is operated on a 12-volt source. This means you can contact it to your battery to get the power. It uses 2.2 amps from your alternator while at work which doesn't create any pressure on it especially while driving at high RPMs. The Air Intake Blower is contacted to a switch inside the car, so whenever you need more power you simply flip the switch and fly away. Air Intake Blower produces 250CFM of forced air into your intake. It is not noisy, it makes a nice sound making it seem like you got something bigger then what you actual have under the hood. A stock turbo from an Audi 1.8T produces 400CFM. Adding an Air Intake Blower will produce more then half of the power than a stock Audi 1.8T turbo would but you don't need to do any modifications to your engine. 250CFM of forced air can also be compared to a 15-25 shot of Nitrous.

Forget it. Better add the NICO sticker and get additional 30HP.

Been discussed before. No free lunches.

"Air Intake Blower produces 250CFM of forced air"

That's the rub!

A 274 cubic inch engine needs 274/2 = 137 x rpm / 1728 or 317 CFM at just 4,000 rpm and 380 CFM at 6,000 rpm JUST to MEET standard unmodified demands.

Also they don't tell you the pressure the electric supercharger creates.

1.0 psi = 15.7/14.7 or 6.8% more air density [less any loss due to temperature rise] ............ a good rule of thumb is 1% loss per 11F rise and most systems are less than 80% efficient. Therefore 4.8% per PSI is a real number.

Most elecric fans have a tough time creating 0.25 psi due to air leakage.

The devices work [somewhat] for small displacement engines those under 1.5 liters.........

I was thinking about using a blower like this to force air into the cavity around the air filter (I have a MAF adapter with a cone type filter with a heat sheild) to maintain cooler intake temps. Prob. pulls too many amps for continuous use. Maybe a smaller marine bilge blower could do the trick.

Study the turbine in a radial supercharger, turbo, or axial unit

In no design can you see thru the fan blades............electric blowers are speced in inches of water column pressure: 1 " of water is 1/28 of a psi.

Remember the engine is already supercharged by the earth's atmosphere. "The [EVERY] engine is already under 14.7 psi of positive pressure, something everyone forgets!

"The power required to drive the compressor is a lot more significant than most people realize. As an example, for a supercharger (turbo or mechanical) to deliver an additional 100 horsepower of air to a given engine -- say a typical 350 small-block at 5,000 rpm -- that supercharger will require anywhere from 25-35 horsepower (depending on the efficiency of the compressor itself ."

EACH HP requires 746 watts to create [plus electric motor inefficiencies]. SAY 900 watts to be safe.............0.9 x 25= 22,000 watts

Pretty hard to even bend the laws of Physics............. with marketing lies.

So my question is: Is there really some sort of supercarger/turbo I can get to fit my Q45? I have looked all over for performance parts but they are very difficult to find. Don't get me wrong I enjoy eatin rice plenty already but I crave real power gains...the kind my girlfriend will hate me for(especially if she finds out how much it will cost)

[Q45tech]

Unfortunately there is a serious lack of space to place a radial supercharger plus an intercooler would be required due to Q high compression. If you moved battery to trunk or found a reverse turning supercharger to replace the air filter box and moved the MAF towards the throttle body........maybe. Creating pullies of the width necessary to transmit the 20 HP parasitic load of the supercharger........designing in a BALANCING LOAD to avoid destroying crankshaft bearings........lot of engineering required to make a really reliable system.

Other than ecu retuning [chip] and loud exhaust.........the cubbard is bare without designing the fit and finish yourself.http://www.superchargersonline...t.pdfCost vs yield is steep compared to higher volume more common engines [domestics].

Spending $2500 for the SC unit is just the start..........expect to drop $5,000-$10,000 before you're done to get it oem reliable.

Hmmmm....that's opretty reasonsable.

if your SERIOUS about a supercharger for around 3-4 grand, let me know.

So the ram air intake on some cars probably has little benefit as well?

[Q45tech]

Lots of difference between a supercharger spinning 20-40,000 rpm and the air flow across a car at 88 feet per second [60mph]...........above 150 mph you can achieve some tiny amounts of boost but 200 mph is were it's noticeable.

Above 100 mph, the Q intake design actually begins to create a positive pressure against the air filter element by 150 mph all the losses have been compensated for...............the 7" water column from horn to the MAF input.

This 0.25 psi boost is probably the highest ever obtained on a STOCK 4 door sedan by any company EVER!

You loose most of this gain by moding oem design............cone filter.
