Cheap Turbo

Only problem I see is that is doesn't come w/ a sticker to give me 20 more horsepower.

I think that I heard this idea on another thread a while back. You take a funnel, mount it behind the fan, and splice it into your air intake. Now as your engine go faster so does your fan, and it blows air into the funnel. You'd get about the same results.

That 240 CFM that it flows will really work well when you've got it stuck on a 650 or more CFM carb

His grammar sucks, How about his math. 1 Cubic foot has 1728 cubic inches. 240 times that is 414720 cubic inches a minute. Now I put that on my 390 cid motor. Since it's a 4 cycle it needs 195 cubic inches of air per revolution. My motor would consume that fans output at 2126.79 rpms. Not much of a race is it? Hmmmmm?

cheap turbo....
Why do you have to have it producing all the air for that engine??, why not have it set up to assist what is already there? have it suck throughthe 650 carb you had in example and then kick that in to assist with a bit more, that would be 890cfm....
still sounds like crok....but hey idea.

I should upgrade the starter/alternator on my Honda Rebel and put it on there then. Maybe 234cc wouldn't chew it up, especially since it's a small carb.
The size of the motor/blower though appeared to be ruffly the same size as the cyclinder block.
It would be intresting to see what a 460ci Ford with a blower of approx. same size would do.
Either have a moon rocket (so to speak) or it'll grenade (litterally, watch out low flying shrapnel for the next 3 miles).
Seriously though, how much of a boost could you acually expect from 3/4psi to 1psi boost in pressure.
