sounds about right though. its using the hp that the motor on the leaf blower is making, and adding that to the hp of the engine.

 

What? No way!

The only way that leaf blower was connected to the car engine was by the air nozzle of the leaf blower to the intake on the car engine. It's a case of FI.

 

ok...from someone who has HAD an e-charger....

a friend of mine sells them online...he sells a TON of them...i kid you not, he has sold thousands, and in almost every case, the buyer is pleased..some have even sent dyno sheets back with pictures of it during the dyno run...WITH the e-charger run.

i swear to you all ladies and gentlemen, that one person sent a dyno sheet with a 32hp gain...

no, im not kidding about any of this....he makes incredible money, and when i had one on my car, we used the gtech pro with my stock intake box, and the e-charger, and my times did improve...

 

some guy brought one to the shop i was working at...its was a little electric fan that was made to for right before the filter on an aftermarket intake...but when it was installed it threw a code for the maf sensor and the car ran like crap...

 

no no no, not cheating the dyno somehow. remember, an engine is an air pump, and the more air you pump through it, the more power is made as a byproduct. so if you use a 10hp motor to shove air into your engine, then it should raise the power by roughly the same. if power is a byproduct of air pumping, then pushing more air through the engine with that 10hp, it makes sense that it would be measurable on a dyno. and in no way am i saying that it wouldnt in fact make the car faster, it would indeed. IF you could find an effective way to mount it. and i think the secret to that one is that not ALL of the air for the car motor has to go through it, so in the lower power levels (rpm ranges) it uses the X amount of air the blower can provide, then when it cant provide enough to feed the engine at higher RPMs, it sucks more air from around the tube. but there is still a very slight pressure gain from the blower pushing a little air in, so even at higher rpms, that will help.

 

Okay, this part I agree with.

 

hm.. yea ill say fu.. 2-3000 for a turbo wheres the next gardening store ill get on of them big *** backpack leaf blowers lol

 

i've seen electrical turbos on ebay that run for a couple hundred bucks. weather they work or not i dunno but i dont see why they wouldnt. it looks like a turbo but it runs on batteries and u put it after ur filter on ur intake. pretty much the same concept of the leaf blower id imagine...

 

I have a leafblower....anybody have access to a dyno in ut?

 

ya gotta admit ---thats 1 great bolt-on ----works better than the turbonator
