The only way an "electrical" fan would work is if it can produce the mac CFM your engine can breath plus that to achieve some relative means of boost. Example. The 1.6 at WOT breath the maximum of 300 CFM's(just an example). So this electrical fan has to produce at least 350 CFM's to achieve some sort of boost. Just with 350 CFM's, that wouldn't work.

The idea is cool, but a couple of things you have to think about. How big is the fan going to be? Our current electrical system in cars is 12 volts. How much amperage is this electrical device going to take? I agree that electrical is more efficient, but to make something that creates that much CFM with be big and consume alot of electricity. I dont think our conventional electrical systems can handle the demand for such a device. You could put a high output altenator that they use for competition stereos, but even then you have to modify that. I will stick to the turbo, since that is more effient than the S/C.

If anyone hears of anything that would work and its not from some toy, PM me cause i would love to see it.
