An electric supercharger has an electric motor powering the fan. I've never used one of these but it's my understanding that electric superchargers are mostly a waste of money. Even drawing the limit of your alternator's power, they are barely able to create one horsepower. A mechanical supercharger can draw 10 hp easily from the crankshaft and create much more reliable pressures. You'll still have your electrical system for other accessories, too.
I'd avoid an electrical supercharger.

Theres more to supercharging a N/A engine than putting on a supercharger. You could build your own kit using a centrifugal supercharger instead of a roots type blower, which usualy has to mount on the intake manifold. bigger fuel pump, fuel rail, injectors, and a programmable ECU to do the job right, I suppose. I dont think its worth it at all. For the same price you'll spend supercharging, you could buy a 2nd gen rx7, or supra or something else fast...

"how does an electric supercharger work?" Um they don't. lol Check out Maxima.org. Their a Maxima club so I'm sure they'll be able to answer any questions you may have about mods.

they run from the pump to the guidance equipment container that's quite below the position the guidance wheel shaft is coming from ... if rack and pinon they might run below the vehicle to that
