well it is kind of like a turbo.. except less high tech. I am very impressed with the hp increase... average 200mph blower costs what? like 100 bucks... have the system hooked up:
electric blower, powered by 12v, converted to 110.. mounted somewhere under the hood... pop a hole in the hood for the blower, hook everything up and have double air intake. regular for street riding and that special power upgrade activated by a lever or something... the only question is .. how safe is it for the engine? final result.. +15hp without nos for no more than 250 bucks -------------------- Captain Pessimist

My uncle actually did this on his race car. He raced stock car. He won a lot with it too. I thought it was common knowledge that this actually worked. The only thing I would worry about is hitting to high boost with one of these things. You could easily set it up on a car for every day driving and hook it up to a full throttle nitrus switch for when you wanted that extra power. I think we'll see this pop up on here now, at least I hope to see it.

I wouldn't do this to a car that I really wanted to keep running right but it does work, and it works well for the price. We're talking maybe $70 for the blower, and maybe $20 for a filter or whatever, and possable $20 in piping. And those are high estimates. That's $110 for maybe 20hp. So, around 5.50 per hp. Pretty cheap. -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy

i would think that it would hurt the engine because a turbo pushes according to the exhaust. what if you had the blower on full blast when you were hardly moving. the engine woulnt be taking all that air and the pressure may harm it. i might do it though, with a beater.

If you were to rig this up all you need is an exhaust valve or basically a wastegate to push the excess air out when at idle, it would be cool to see what it can do but I wouldn't want to drive down the street sounding like a leaf blower, people would be running for cover.

[right][snapback]333637[/snapback][/right] Guys, this is why I say put in on a togel switch. You only turn it on at so many rmp. Seriously though, my uncle did do this to his stock car, and it actually gave him a pretty good edge. There's no way you'd get the same effects as a turbo though. You just couldn't unless you had one heck of a strong leaf blower. Or wate a second, 2 of them. Now there's a mixure to blow the motor. -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy

I think the term ricer should be banded from these forums by the way. Ghetto fabulouse. I think that's a song or something. -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy

Ghetto is something you shouldn't do because its the wrong way to modify or maintain your vehicle and can compromise vehicle performance or reliability. This ill-conceived idea is both. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |
