so you are thinking of taking just air, compressing it into one big tank close off the regular intake system so this one will seal (and not blow out the other way) up, then blowing a valve so that all xxxPSI comes blasting past your sensors into the engine? have any of you ever played with a pnumatic potato gun with a ball valve, same concept but no potato and shooting it into your engine!

This thread is long over, but no the concept did not have anything to do with closing off the regular intake system. If the air was under pressure it could be aimed into the intake along with the regular air intake.

Lotus have already tried this...
Hey dude... Your idea is very good but its old... Lotus have already tried this on F-1 cars on the '70. They used pure O2 on the fire extinguisher system, but the car blowed ( it don't remember why... Could be becouse of the O2 system OR 'cause they lost the extinguisher sys )... If u want, I can get more details about it, 'coz my cousing has a article of what realy happened...

There was a guy in the States about thirty years ago, I think his name was Bill Keane. He built a slingshot dragster that used scuba diving tanks to supercharge his engine via a very large multi stage pressure regulator system.
The idea was that the compressed air dropped to a very low temperature from the Joule Thompson effect, when the air was throttled through the pressure regulator. So although the actual boost pressure going into the engine was not very high, it was very cold and very dense. Also, because the engine only had to run for a few seconds at a time, enough air could easily be carried to make this work. It was so effective they banned it.............. Hmmm.

Barbecue of Lotus in 1977
Hey... Thatīs here! In 1977, Mario Andretti jumped off his Lotus without using the fire extinguisher system. Colin Chapman told the team to replace the Dry powder sys with pure oxigen. Doing this they got almost 50hp plus in the Ford-Cosworth engine. They found this cheat when the Iata ( the company of transportation ) refused to transport the MK3 ( the car ) to South Africa. The susupect were based on a coincidence: On the argentine GP his Lotus exploded on the boxes... That's in 4rodas ( ano 43 Abril 2003 )... I have a pic of the car here to... Is just ask for
 Now u can send a mail directly to Mr. Chapman and ask what the hell happen when using O2! hehehehe....
