I wouldn't overvolt them. I don't know what the limiting factor internally is. I do know some are less than generous with their capacitor voltage ratings (but I'm not saying that's the case here). Keep in mind you'll have voltage sag with any pack under heavy load; also pay attention to the...

It's been out for a few days now, so I'm sure most of you have seen it by now, but just in case you haven't, check it out - this one was a lot of work:

Man, I need to check in here more often - that looks fantastic! I'm impressed. That setup should be able to run almost continuously.

Watching him install a supercharger kit was like watching a dog chew peanut butter.

I saw that. I'm really thinking of doing a video about that. I'm not his biggest fan. But we just shot the first compound boost video yesterday. The results are... interesting. That's all I'll say for now. And my entire place still stinks like gas.

I'm sure that'll be fine. Those readings are done at a particular frequency and the results can vary at different frequencies. It's very similar to how a capacitor ESR meter works. The LTO cells provide tons of power.

I sent you a pm; a lot of these questions will be answered in my upcoming vids... sry to be brief; but very busy atm.

I don't look at ESCs in terms of cell count. Simply because, as wkerstens says, you can use a lot of different chemistries to power these things, most of which have different operating voltages. I use cell count spec to determine maximum voltage of an ESC. Also I don't typically run my packs...

The Torqamp is pretty weak - it's only 5kW. You'd see some power gains, but not much - mostly a boost in midrange torque. To support 300 hp (for example), you'd need about 8kW minimum. That said, sometimes power adders aren't your friend. There are a lot of tricks you can do to see improved...

Not off the top of my head. I've been installing concrete anchors for the last 3 days.

Lol. I would not recommend trying that. That's a quick way to have your friends call you stumpy. The first time you run one under power, you'll see what I mean. That said, when I was doing my testing, even mounted to the relatively heavy aluminum test bracket, it would easily fly off under...

I have two of these. The bearings they come with aren't the greatest, but so far no problems. Run it in for a bit, and if you're not happy, you can always drop in better bearings. Considering the price point, I didn't expect high end bearings.

On a 500 hp NA engine, it's equivalent to 1 psi boost "loss." So it's not actually noticeable on the street.

I would not put the unit in a hot engine bay directly; particularly over any exhaust components. The magnets in a brushless motor can start to demagnetize above 180* F. Low mounted in front is fine (mine is next to my radiator), pulling in air from the fender well, or you could mount it in the...

First of all, thanks to all of you for keeping this forum alive. I have been working 7 days a week to get "Alex Labs" up and running. The goal is a video studio with a dyno so I can continue with electric supercharger development and testing (among other things). It's been 3 years and one...
