that's awesome...lol
just blow some air in there, then blow some NOS in

[yarik83]

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

aite i'm goin to do it...........end of story...i'll tell yall how it comes out

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

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.

Why? It'll work on a beater or just for fun. 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.

dude manny you know my car.....it doesn't matter lol

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.

[presure2]

guys, you really have GOT TO BE KIDDING.
do you REALLLLLLY thing your gonna get 20hp outta this thing???
comeon, lets walk on back to reality land, here.
lol
this thing is such a joke, its like the biggest ricer mod on the planet...right up there with type R emblems, and fart can exhausts..IMO

DENIAL STAGE!!!!


hahah j/k

hmm maybe if you install it on a turbo car, you can get rid of the turbo lag. You should try it out pressure2.

i think NOT.
lag? bwahahaha

[darksecret]

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.

[FallenHero]

Spraying nitrous into a leaf blower...

priceless.

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.

if ur gettin that much more hp, then i dont think it's "ricer" just keep ur hood closed... someone do it, dyno it and time the 60, 1/8, 1/4 before and after

Exactly, there is a difference between Ghetto and ricer. I think the term ricer should be banded from these forums by the way. Ghetto fabulouse. I think that's a song or something.

IMO, the difference between Ghetto and Ricer is Ricer is something you shouldn't do because its looks tacky. 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.
