Homemade Turbo!?
Ok, well i have big visions for the 3rd gen, but the turbo's are a bit pricey, and mitsu definitely shouldve hooked us up... So i've come up with a cheap alternative to this turbo issue... I plan to test this method sometime soon on an old piece of shit proto-car... Ok this is it... What if we took a leafblower and suspended it through a sizable hoodscoop... First step is done, second step we run a hose from the outlet of the blower to the throttle body.. After that we run another hose to where the intake is on the blower and shove it into the scoop, causing a ram air effect, which may over power the blower's fan, i dunno. Either way The leafblower should run on gas because electric might be a little complicated, and so there ya have it compressed air running right into the intake manifold... Turbo... I was wondering how much PSI that might kick out, and if any engine could handle that, give me your feedback guys and i might just give it a shot...

Re: Homemade Turbo!?
HEY!!...no we don't have a leaf blower, i think you'd do better to strap it under the back bumper and use it as a rocket anyway

Re: Homemade Turbo!?
actually, it sounds more like a supercharger/blower setup than turbo....
I'M HOPING THIS ISN'T A REAL QUESTION it'll push...1-2 psi tops, not enough to warrant the job

Re: Homemade Turbo!?
It wasnt serious but sounds like something fun to try when im bored... And yes i have realized it is more so a turbo, and when it runs out of gas, put more in it!

Re: Homemade Turbo!?
iheard some girl was killed...when she got in a wreck, her Jesus figurine was jammed (flew from the dash to in front of her) into her heart and was the only reason of her death, w/o it she would have lived. her parents are quoted to have said, " at least she had Jesus in her heart when she died"
sorry, your name reminded me of that story kinda ironic....a little disturbed

Re: Homemade Turbo!?
Yeah its all good, i love these 3rd gens, my best friends got one, we race that thing up and down the map... One day we would like to join in on one of those cross country races, but thats off topic... I've found a proto-car for my project, its an 800 dollar piece of shit... so im gonna try and get my hands on that and go ahead and run my procedure...
