OK, since we could all use cheap hp, and I can't afford a s\c or even NOS at this point, (gotta find a job down here) I thought of an idea. Why not use compressed air to increase boost? Create some type of solonoid switch and a hose attatchment in the MAF, so that at WOT the switch opens and you get more air. Figure those portable air tanks push out around 60 PSI , so if that were fed into the Throttle body, maybe you could see 7 to 8 PSI? put a fuel, pressure regulator on, and there you go! Any thoughts or ideas?

I've gotta stop hitting the crack pipe.........

 

i think you said it best

 

Go ahead and set that up and you will be paying more than a SC price to have your car fixed.

Why would the engine blow? If we were to compress a little amount of air, and stream it into the cylinders instead of one big burst of air, it shouldn't blow the engine. The ECU would add more fuel and we'd get more power???

 

if thtas the case then you should try it and let us know what happens

 

------------------------------------------

but can't the ECU only add enough fuel to the capacity of the injectors?? so to match this new burst of air entering the cylinders wouldn't he need to remap the ECU fuel curve and al that good stuff? none the less I still say BOOOOOOOOM!!! : (LOL)

 

my thoughts exactly

 

Well, do the guys running S\C's and NOS need to change out the fuel injectors for small amounts of boost? I mean it's not like 60 psi is going to get pumped into the engine. I can't see more that 6 to 8 psi going into the throttle body when done.You're just adding more air into the mix right? The ECU compensates, and you get more power. All a S\C or Turbo does, is compress air, and feed it into the throttle body. So instead of having the exhust gasses, or a pully to drive a turbine to compress air, you have a tank with air already compressed. Like I said, I can't see the pressure inside the MAF becoming that great, if it is regulated from the tank correctly. Why would the engine explode?

 

Guess I must have been smoking something.....

 

Must be some good stuff! LOL
