Absolutly not even close to an option......remember to build boost you have to beable to OVERFILL the cylinder with air.....that little fan wouldnt overfill N20MSTRs blow up doll...

Think of it this way.... how much HP does it take to
compress the air to make 5 psi... its gonna take
ALOT more than a 15 amp motor

I could see it as a cooling fan when you are stuck in staging on a 95 degree day. A little pricey for that I guess.

i made a drawing for a fluid drive off the power steering with a much more agressive fan.

It's a boat bilge pump with some bling. Used to sell on eBay for $29.95, and they got banned.

No, it doesn't work.
There are electric superchargers that work - they have huge motors and need 200 lbs. worth of batteries.

if it includes stickers, then it GOTTA be worth at LEAST 400hp.

We tried one and it worked awesome!......

On a 24hp Briggs & Stratton in a golf cart. We put a micro-switchon the throttle linkage - to a relay - to the blower. Well it DID work awesome until we hit too large of a bump and something happened to break the impellers and the engine ingested it at WOT. The throttle was hung open (woo hoo!!! Prolly 30 hp of unbridled fury!!!) and the plastic blades got melted onto the exhaust valve and it had no compression. Bummer!! We were having fun riding wheelies with two of us in the golf cart.

It DID make a huge difference on that little tiny engine - while it lasted. Too bad we broke it so far from camp.

On my Mopar? I doubt it would even notice.

to move enough air for a big V8 engine, you'd have to have what...a 20? 25? hp electric motor? how much HP does a belt driven supercharger consume?

Whatever that number is, you'd need an electric motor of the same rating. then you'd need the electric source to feed it. don't try running it off your alternator, cause A) you'll fry it, and B) you're just adding that Hp drain right back to the crank, and you might as well use a belt driven or exhaust driven blower.

batteries? like said, 200 or more pounds of lead/acid to create the juice needed to run an electric motor that big. is the 100-ish hp gain from a blower enough to overcome all the added weight of the blower, plumbing, wiring, and batteries?

now, adding that little blower to a golf cart or brigs go-cart, sounds like a TON of fun!

"Buy Plymouth Barracuda Electric Supercharger Bolt-On Kit

This supercharger is a two door car that was manufactured by the Plymouth division of Chrysler Corporation from 1964 through to 1974.The first generation Barracuda supercharging fastback A-body coupe based on the Plymouth Valiant had distinctive wraparound back glass and was available up to 1966 from 1964. The second Barracuda even though was just like the Valiant it had superchargers and was available in fastback, notchback and convertible versions. The bolt on supercharger 1970-1974E-body Barracuda, no longer had a valiant feature instead it was available as a coupe and a convertible both which were different from the previous makes and models. The electric supercharger E-body Barracuda was available and was able to shake off the stigma of economy car from 1970 to 1974 and three versions were offered into the market; the base Barracuda, the luxury oriented Gran Coupe and the sport model the ‘Cuda. The high performance models were derived from the 1969 option and were marketed as the ‘Cuda. The engine produced 190 horsepower that is equal to 140 kilo watt and produced a speed of admirable quantity not forgetting the torque."

I could mow a little faster if I had on on my Skag. Maybe I could tee off it to blow on my face when I'm downing a beer under my shade tree.

how about a hamster on a wheel? that would work just as well and probably would work for no more than celery and water. just have to keep the hamster poop out of the engine.

Actually it's a well known secret that hamster poop is a chemical octane booster- at a certain temperature the water molecules break down in a form of cold fission creating free extra horsepower and torque. With hamster poop you can run 10-25 lbs of boost in a zero deck closed chamber head setup with 40-50 degrees of mechanical timing!

On a side note anyone read HOTROD when they hooked up two leafblowers to supercharge a motor?

Funny stuff, wildest part was it worked! slightly.

Actually, I have an elecric blower on my motor.....see signature pic. The only downside to it is the length of the extension cord!

I gotta say it..........Dude , I like your style.
Re ; Mad Max ...We have a local who has used a 6:71 with an air conditioner condenser clutch and for the most part , it worked.
I have no idea how hard he turned it , but that thing used to really haul the mail.
He was a fixture on the street scene back in the 80's and last summer I saw him with the same car and same set up at a local cruise night.
It is a 72 Challenger and I wish I would have had my camera when I saw him again. It looks fairly crude........air box with a trap door and a blow through carb , blower sits at an angle and the plumbing sticks out of the side of the scoop , but it is home made and as I recall , was put together with junk yard parts and freebies.
I never thumb my nose at good old fashioned American ingenuity.
As for the electric supercharger , I don't think the thumb fully conveys my feelings......I do have another digit that works pretty well for these moments.
