yes, thats right. a friend and i just completed our project to add a gasoline powered super charger to his ghetto-mobile. the ghetto-mobile is a 92ish ford probe (i know not a honda but at least i am talking about forced induction) that he picked up for $200 a few months back. basically we use it to go nuts (playing shopping cart baseball by haveing someone shove a cart at the car then doing a reverse donut to whack the f--ker across the lot
). But anyway, back to our new super mod. we had to cut a hole in the hood to fit the unit on but thats ok, the hood is held down with the seatbelts that used to be in the back seats.
basically this unit uses a 2-stroke motor and a fan to create boost. to start it up we get out and pull the start cord, sometimes it takes a while but it eventually works. our boost control device (string tied to throttle on blower and run into passenger compartment) lets us vary boost for any condition on the fly, no swapping pulleys on this bad boy.
So, you are all probably wondering 'Where do i get one of these?' well, look no further then your garage. snag that old leaf blower, some duct tape, and some string.
yes, we have a leaf blower forcing air into our engine (whether it makes a difference or not doesn't matter, it's like putting thos LED washer things on your car, it tells everyone you have a tricked out type-R ford
)
ok, i am done being obnoxious and long winded. let me know what you think of the mod.
