the problem with e-chargers is that, yes in 1 instance there is a significant increase. but how much of an increase was it? 10%? 20%? 30%? 40%?

not going to happen.

That's what I'm saying.
It was about a 30% increase but again it came at the cost of having to carry around a rack of deep cycle batteries.
So you get a power increase which is negated immediately by the extra weight necessary to create it.

One day when I was vacuuming out my car I saw the WOT switch for my nitrous oxide system. I made me think of running avariable resistor on the pedal to operate a separate electric motor with a cogged belt straight to a pulley on the front of the crankshaft. Maybe a quick OBD hack to read the TPS. Get it to power on when the throttle goes open after being closed and when it goes WOT and then regenerate at closed throttle.
Homebuilt hybrid!
I'm going to be rich! Right?!
Not so much.
I was informed that that's pretty much how Saturn's hybrid works
