Any electric motor isnt going ot make much boost, maybe 2 psi at its highest, And the stock fuel system will be fine with that. An indsutry standard is to make it about 10% higher load rating than it will ever need, which on an na supra is 240 hp. I dunno if thats right, but its a safety thing with most fuel injection. That and supras just run rich all the time anway. Im sure those e-ram things would work, pressure is pressure. I had the idea of a controllable supercharger years ago in 8th grade, But by runnign it off of hydraulic pressure. I even designed a control system for it that used a planetary gear driven by hydraulic pressure and a pressure valve that turned it on and off, That way you could have XXpsi at any rpms, or be turned off completely, As long as the car was on. And now mazda is developing something like that for the rx-8. Go figure.
