ghetto idea?

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

i remeber a long time ago when i was reading one of my predsm mags it was like 5.0 or something i dunno some car mag and i read about an intake system like CAI but with a fan installed to creat a constant pressure( kinda like turbos) anyways i was thinking more on this idea and i was wondering what kinda good it might do? not the same one but i was thinking of converting some sort of blower or vacume and running it into my intake or something. i know it sounds stupid but isnt that what tuning is? squeezine HP in whatever way u can?

Yea this is being sold on ebay. Its an elec. supercharger or what not. It's not worth it, you may get like .1 psi if that

[EVOclipse]

i didnt know i was actually gonna use this shopvac i have all taken apart

[ashah000]

Hey if you have it all ready, by all means go for it.

[Partizan]

Yeah let us know if it does anything.

[BoostedSpyder]

then patent your final product and sell it on ebay!

yes it will work, but there are a few questions.

1. will it be switchable on/off , or on a, say, dial of some sort?

2. will it be efficient? or will it heat up after a few seconds and be a hot air blower?

3. what else needs to be changed now, as in fuel settings, injector size, etc...?

4. can you fit it in the bay?

just some stuff that comes to my mind...

[ashah000]

yea how big is they shopvac.. pics maybe

I have heard of something along these lines called like a tornado or something. It's like a metal bar you stick into your intake and it swirls all of the air in a circle, which supposedly increases air flow and makes it move faster. Has anyone heard of this or know if it works.

[ashah000]

Yea I have heard of that. It does not work. You can find plenty of place that will say that it's a waste.

[duckydsp]

Thanks. At least I didn't waste any money on it.

shop-vacs are usualy like a 2hp motor i think. you know like the big ones on wheels, wet/dry. not sure how much airflow that would be but i have used one of the heavier duty ones and that is some sucking/blowing power [pun intended]. reminded me of a girl i used to know...

[ashah000]

LMAO.. ok with that yea you should get some gain.. possibly. I think my dad has one of those somwhere.

Hey if it works out for you let me know, I might have to try this.

[EclipseRST]

a kid did this in my town... although he used a leaf blower, 450cfm lol!!! well he had it in the passenger seat and ran the tubes out the window and into the bumper, hit full throttle and hit it, yes it worked but as soon as he let off and forgot to shut the blower off bam there went his motor! it was so funny looking some friends and i took pics and put it in the newspaper... RICER OF THE MONTH!!! lmao

[ashah000]

Put a push button switch under the pedal, use it like nitrous

[metalhedskater]
