ORIGINAL: TopSpeed I read an article once by an engineer who wrote that these sorts of things are not possible from a psychics perspective. I don't know if he was full of crap or anything, but the math in the article seemed sound to me and he really backed up his hypothesis. |

And so I did, 94, and so I did!!!! LOL Geez, I am now wondering if that was a Freudian slip???!?!? And for the wave? Consider me the Canadian Ambassador to the Corvette Wave!!!! [8D] |
RE: turbonator
Back in the '60s, I heard of using a heater fan hooked up to an aircleaner as a cheep blower to add 10hp. Never tried it, but, ya think?

RE: turbonator
I know i have read in those Mustang magazines (my friend has a Mustang) that there are people that have made their own turbos or superchargers or whatever out of leafblowers. I was told they were the same thing just a different amount of power and built differently. But, then again, you know those mustang guys will do almost anything to their cars. :D

RE: turbonator
Now I remenber, we called it an OAKY BLOWER.

ORIGINAL: C3 Starship Back in the '60s, I heard of using a heater fan hooked up to an aircleaner as a cheep blower to add 10hp. Never tried it, but, ya think? The video was of them cruisin' around, hittin' the "turbo" button!! *thumps on desk* Bwaaaaaa!! It was like a 76 Cutlass in pretty bad shape, if I recall, and these two guys were cruisin' around lookin' for hot rods to race!!! They were making fun of the whole concept, I believe. You shoulda seen the look on their faces when they hit the "turbo" button to turn on their, uh, "forced induction" setup... an' nothin' happened.... they really had a blast making that movie. This thread has reminded me of all that. This is another one of those things that I don't believe is possible from a physics perspective. :D ORIGINAL: 94blackC4 I know i have read in those Mustang magazines (my friend has a Mustang) that there are people that have made their own turbos or superchargers or whatever out of leafblowers.

LOL I really wish I could find that scientific article I had read on this stuff... this scientist dude (an engineer of sorts) had a algorithm to prove that these sorts of things cannot do much, really. I cannot remember the details, exactly, but yeh, the long and short of it is.. you want a blower on yer rod?? BUY A BLOWER!!! :D |
