Stupid idea?

October 31, 2004, 02:46:10 AM

Okay, saw a leaf blower in walmart the other day and thought about how I could mount it to my engine and make it work as forced induction

. Synchronizing the throttle on the blower to match with engine speed would be the toughest thing. Perhaps it could be done via some sort of vacuum controlled device? I'd probably have to upgrade the fuel injectors as well. I've seen crazier things accomplished, just wondering if it could be done. Opinions? Criticism? Death Threats rationalized by my retardation :wtf: ?

Just saw a video clip a week or two ago of someone doing something like that. It was a bit crazy..

I don't suppose you'd have a link to the said video...?

I don't think it'd make enough difference to notice/be worth it. Plus, the electricity used to run the leafblower would cause so much of an electrical drain that the alternator would eat up any extra power you produce.

It would be a gas leaf blower, not electric.
