Ok, heres my idea. Build an electric blower that produces 5-7 pounds of boost and is powered by the car's battery. It can be turned on or off by a switch in the car and it blows air directly into the intake manifold. There would be an intake tube that splits off into a "Y". The blower attaches to one leg and a filter to the other, just like it would w/ a normal short ram intake. This way when the blower isn't in use the air can be taken in through the leg with only the filter so there wouldn't be the problem of air blockage like with sucky cheap electric fan turbos (i.e. the turbonator). Then when the blower is switched on it would force extra air into the intake.
So there it is. I have a rough sketch of the idea in my profile. Please give me some input:suggestions, concerns, reasons it wouldn't work, good, bad, whatever. Thanx. No flaming please. |

A turbocharger spins at about 150,000 rpm to be able to create boost pressure. I'm sorry but I just highly doubt that any air compressor / blower you have is gonna be able to flow enough air to provide any boost whatsoever.
From what i have seen (on dyno sheet) the best you can ever possibly hope to see would be around 3 hp... ISH. And even then thats pretty iffy, it could just be the dyno not registering right, and there are pleny of other easier things you can do that will definitely give gains over this. Iono its up to you I guess, but i think a lot of others are gonna agree w/ me when i say that this definitely wont work... -Ryan -------------------- AIM : FAQdaWorld
