Oh, and are you sure its pinging at 178kph? AU utes all have a 180kph speed cutout, it could be that.

just a normal flat road 1 metre above sea level. my foot just resting on the pedal. before I used to press an inch in to keep it at 60kmh. remember, your standard puter will learn and remap it self to the extra dose of air it'll leave the injectors open alittle longer per pulse cycle. of course disconnecting the battery will help. on my first hook up the idle was all over the place for two days in a roll.
its control by a frequency switch kit from jaycar. cat no:KC-5378. you gonna have to solder up the kit yourself. you can configure it to kick in or off what ever rpm you have the fan to come on. theres even a digital fuel adjuster but I'm not sure if it will hook up to the fords. I'll find that out later. It is true that a fan component might brake off & f*#" your motor. thats why I've got a wire mash behind the fan. listen guys, it works for me but don't know if it ill work on others. all depends |

I know that my XR6 would take quite a bit more than 500m to get to 180kph, closer to 700 or 800 at a guess.

I guess around 500 or more cause the maker did'nt look that far. distance can be decieving at times. Tell you one thing, once going over a 1km hill at 100kmh at2300-2500rpm in the speed limit, speedo and rpm just jumps while still holding the same gear{3rd} the blooding thing pulls to the left like it wants to go offroading, foot of the pedal to slow it down from 125kmh to 100ks & thats was more like a second or two. |

come on this is just off the planet stuff.
superchargers are superchargers they have positive displacement and work and who cares whether its electric driven or pulley driven it amounts to the same thing more air in at higher pressure. fans are just fans there is no positive displacement of enough volume of air with a high enough pressure to be anything of real value. If you work out the amperage needed at 12VDC to drive a supercharger you will fine out that this couldn't work as there isn't enough power in the battery and alternator to do it for more than a microsecond. |

my battery isn't flat yet after 150km driving time. remember the frequency switch in this thread from jaycar?. plus I'm running a shorter belt bypassing the air-cond pulley, how many hp gets wasted on that? .5, 1.5, 2, 5hp maybe!. hehehe think outside the square. |

mont, without a dyno or track number its all speculation. I'd love to see it compared back to back on the dyno myself.

bore a bottle of Slick50 into your engine, slick your auto, slick your diff. slick your wheel bearings. you'll be amazed. my 4.0L is super quite apart from injector and cooling fan when it kicks in at idle. now that I have a slightly blown muffler I don't make the mistake of cranking the starter again when the engine is running. you can't tell some times when you're busy. slippery stuff!!!

What sort of alternator are you running?
11 amps is a pretty big load, when the fans kick in the alternator would drag a huge amount from the crankshaft. The Jaycar Digital Fuel Adjuster will not work with a MAP sensor. I cant wait to see your dyno sheets. And i hope you have a good sum of money to repair your engine when the fans let go.

1st up what ever everyone is smoking in here all i can say is
:evilsasmoPUFF PUFF GIVE:evilsasmo 2nd 178kph in an au ute A I6 Au ute over 400 - 500m: Nup sorry dont buy it at all. As casper pointed out there is no way in hell. Quote:
Seriously if your even going to mention some thing like this make sure you have back to back dyno sheets and a heap of timeslips to back it up. What you have basicly stated is this thing makes your car quicker than a I6 with a 10psi vortec or a Xr8 with cam/manifold/gear changes. Dont tell anyone about this fan thingo cause you might end up with capa getting a bit upset about losing bussiness ok

Slick 50 is the biggest waste of money(snake oil) on the market.

mont, there is no doubting your enthusiasm
but the way you are guestimating your results is asking for trouble...especially when the topic is electronic "superchargers", lol. get your car to the track or at least buy/borrow/steel a g-tech and do some 0-100kph comparisons. I am sure the majority of guys following this thread would love to know the results. DT |

I don't think theres one in Hobart, haven't checked. don't even think I've heard of drag runs on the tracks here either. maybe we should move back up. |

Im guessing it was closer to 1km to get to 178kmh.
Unless your car launches hard enough to either almost get a front wheel off the ground, or can smoke the wheels with no problem for a good 300m, there is no way in hell your running anywhere near 178kmh in 400m. My car (mild mods but i would bet a bit that it makes more power than your "stock" AU motor) ran 15.4 @ 90mph (144kmh) over 402m. Sorry, but im going to call bullshit.

man id love to see it even boost at idle... if it did id find it amazing.. let alone providing any adavantage under anny load.
It doesnt work :> so get over it.. people have been modding engines for years, you dont see 10 sec drag cars with 20 electric fans pumping air into the motor.. quite posible the biggest load of shit ive ever read Put it on a dyno post some results.
