On my '85 V6 Chevy engine, there is something called an A.I.R. pump that, coincidentially, pumps air (into the exhaust manifold to dilute the air in the exhaust) When you spin it freely, air comes out. I was wondering if I could make a Turbo (well I guess a Supercharger since it's belt driven) out of this contraption. I know it would do virtually NOTHING for the V6, but i'm sure it can do SOMETHING in the 1.6 Pony. My only concern is a boost controller. I would like to make a mechanical one so as not to introduce circuitry into the car. How can I accomplish this? Can I just attach a wastegate set for, uh let's say 4 PSI to release regardless of pedal position? SO I will have a sort of "temporary" boost?
I'm quite serious.
Simply NO! Why? Cause you have a head like a block! And you're to lazy to take your spare Pony cylinder head to Astro Machine to have it cleaned and the valves taken out.On my '85 V6 Chevy engine, there is something called an A.I.R. pump that, coincidentially, pumps air (into the exhaust manifold to dilute the air in the exhaust) When you spin it freely, air comes out.

Figure out who this is yet?
tongue.gif Get that done, then worry about making an anti-smog device into a supercharger...block head!

Simply put...no. The device is not designed to pressurize air, only to move it.
That's what Roots, Eaton's and to an extent the Lysholm style pumps do. The only real compressor is the centrifugal type, and again to an extent the Lysholm.
