Title
e-RAM Electric Supercharger, from e-Racing Motorsorts
Description
Located just 30 miles North of world-famous Laguna Seca Raceway in Northern California, e-Racing Motorsports was founded in 1997 by two brothers (Mark and Mike Kibort) who were avid club racing fanatics. In the beginning (back in 1996), Mark was driving a '84 Porsche 928S, and Mike was driving a track prepared 1980 Fiat Spyder 2000 with Bosch fuel injection. Both had over 25 years of experience between them as electro-mechanical sales engineers for electric motors and industrial automation control equipment. In addition to racing, Mark was heavily into remote controlled electric powered airplanes and was continually developing and testing electric jet engines.
Mike, after spending a couple of thousand dollars on modifications for his Fiat like a header, free-flow exhaust, ported and polished head with big valves and racing cams, suspension upgrades, etc.) he was still looking for any possibility of improving power on his grossly under-powered Fiat. Sure enough, when going to the dyno, Mike realized that none of the purchases he had made for his engine performance had created any gain in HP. When discussing the results with Mark, it became clear that no matter what he did to the engine and exhaust to make air and exhaust flow more freely, the 2.0L double over-head cam engine would always be limited by the restriction resulting from the small size of the air-flow meter intake hole (a small 1" x 1.5" opening). Mike then asked Mark about the possibility of using the electric jet engine he had developed in order to overcome this restriction, and possibly develop pressure for increased performance.
From there the wheels of invention turned, and within a year, Mark, working with several former NASA engineers, developed the first practical prototype of the e-RAM Electric Supercharger. By this time, Mike had sold the Fiat and acquired an '84 Porsche 911 Cabriolet. Mark and Mike decided to test the e-RAM at the only place that could confirm any performance gains... The Dyno.
