okay guys, first off i would NEVER put an ebay electric supercharger aka leaf blower in my car. its just that i have seen countless inquiries about this ebay "blower" and it has been flamed every time (justifiably so) without dyno proof. well gentleman, the time has come to validate the leaf blower

wow, that's gross. haha, so all those dyno runs were without an air filter, right?

 

Welcome to 2001

 

thats my next mod... dont hate... muahahha

 

I did that to my friends metro.....We used a power inverter and ran a switch into the cabin. It actually made a big difference(considering its a 55 hp car).

 

found my next power mod right here, bet i'll get more power out of that than my headers















btw i'm joking

 

with has prices these days, no thanks!

 

In all seriousness though..

A turbo setup runs ~ 4g

Why not just hook up a compressor to blow the air in?
you can easily get 12psi out of any compressor..

Is it because you arent supposed to have high psi with low gas?

I'm a complete noob with the turbo.. so dont flame lol

 

an air compressor doesnt flow egnough air (measured in cfm) to be useful. It will probably just negate the pumping losses. And youd be hauling the weight of an air compressor and the eletircal load of one as well. better off sticking a 2 gal gas tank for a gas blower like they did some where in the engine compartment or some where close.

Its better to have the same power to weight ratio but lighter then the same p/w and heavier as its easier on the clutch, tranny, axles, etc.

a compressor weighs like 50lbs max..
and that blows 120psi..

you need like 15 max..

and airbrush compressor would do that..
they weigh like 15lbs max

 

what about an actualy leaf blower?? the big guys that ppl use to blow leaves off their lawn..?? what are they....1.5 hp engines??

 

compressors don't provide enough CFMs, PSI doesn't matter when you're not getting enough volume

can't wait to see your car with a leaf blower under the hood though

 

So what’s the conclusion, it’s some BS or we all order and install it as soon as it gets shipped? lol

Seriously

 

werd that video is old

 

Problem is, they build up pressure and release it. You need constant flow, this is why turbo's exist.. hence the unit of measurement for airflow cfm. Sure, you could use an airbrush compressor, but it would have to be spliced into the intake some how with a valve that allows its built up pressure to be relieved, which then would die out and you would get a few seconds of extra air pressure.

This video works because a leaf blower constantly pushes out massive amounts of air, your compressor won't do that.
