Wondering what experience anybody has had with these little electric supercharger systems like this one,
http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com/RAM/Super...r-System/18149/ says it makes 1psi boost and gets 15 hp. surely not as much boost as a nice supercharger, but at $400 compared to the $6,000 kit for a supercharger, I may have to at least consider it ya know. -------------------- Bust a Deal; Face the Wheel.

You are correct for the most part.
However since there is a maximum amount of air that the engine can take in at once... what happens to any "extra" air shoved in there by the leaf blower? If there are no leaks and no way for that air to escape the pressure will build (this is what will eventually cause the leaf blower to slow down and become stressed because of the air pushing back on it). It's a combination of creating a MINIMAL amount of pressure in the system (again if there are no leaks) and the major change which is that most stock intakes aren't utilized to maximize the amount of air the engine CAN use. So in that video when both parameters were changed they got a pretty significant power gain. I am by absolutely no means suggesting that ANYONE actually try using a leaf blower on a vehicle as a means of gaining power. This post has been edited by cardshark525: Dec 19, 2013 - 10:38 AM |
