HELP homemade turbo or something
Okay I have a question. I was wondering, if I re-route my air intake hose to the grill and then use the whole grill as an intake, and somewhere there put a fan. Would that be about like a turbo? I don't know. I'm 15 and really bored. Would that work? Or do I need to do something else. HELP!

Re: HELP homemade turbo or something
You are talking about a ram air effect, which is an old performance trick. It works, but is no substitute for a turbo, as you must be doing very high speeds to duplicate the 7-10 psi of boost you get with a turbo. Also, it does not work well for carburetors unless the ehtire carb is pressurized. Its better for EFI.
