I know that you guys don't like the electric turbos or e-rams.But this is an idea that will work betteer than them. it consists on putting a power inverter on your cigarrette lighter and attach one of these blowers on the air duct.
It is sick, but certainly will work better than those e-rams!
Please post your opinions
Peace out!!

That'd be really LOUD though, even if it did work. You'd be driving around with your car making all this blower noise.
Also, I think you'd have to either wire in a switch so you could turn it on or off or rig it so it would switch on/off at a certain throttle position or something... otherwise, at idle, the thing would still be pumping all kinds of air into the engine and would probably make it idle at like 1500 rpm...
...all assuming, of course, that the idea would work at all. rolleyes.gif tongue.gif eek!

I'm sure you could chop it down so the whole unit isn't quite so large, for example cut off that handle and so on and so forth. I guess if I was to take out the entire intake setup on my Accent, that blower would sit right where my air filter box is situated right now. It would be wise to put a heat shield around it for obvious reasons. But you'll have to be more specific... Are you going to splice it into your exsisting intake pipe? Or is this unit going to be your entire intake? Probably the first one. It would be a challenge trying to get pipes connected, since you'd need a 'Y', and don't know how easy they are to get a hold of... Probably a local hardware store would carry that, and coincedentally, that is also where you'd pick up that blower. Now, all you need is that blower to suck in cold air, so it dispells cold air...

No offense dude, but that would be the biggest waste of time ever. It's been discussed and basically, you would need a HUGE electric motor, bigger than that one, to really see any significant gains.

Hey Gary... what will it take for you to achieve 100 per cent rice status? tongue.gif
I notice it didn't take you long to graduate from 90 per cent to 99.9 percent tongue.gif wink
Did you get your muffler yet? Or is that the reason for the change?

Well I figured since I have the hi-flow filter, I'm not 100% rice, so therefore 99.9 should be fine. I was informed by some people in my local area that really I was more than 90% rice, close to 100% really. smile.gif Hey Gary... what will it take for you to achieve 100 per cent rice status? :p

I don't have the exhaust yet, and due to a new job on the horizon which would require me moving out and buying my own house, it probably won't happen in the near future.
