Anyone ever make a supercharger themselves?? I was trying to think of a way to do it, even if it only produced 1 or 2 lbs of boost. Any ideas? The summer is half over and I wanna end it with a bang. lol

I think its a lot easier to make a home turbo. My dad got power hungry and took one off of a detroit diesel and put it on his 390 FE. Its interesting and it works too. Mostly copper pipe.

how bout a electric motor(angle grinder motor would be a good one) that turns ungodful rpms, take the blower out of the heater of a ford truck then make a housing for the motor and blower, then rig up all the neccessary tubing and brakets and switches.
Or you could just rig up an idustrial shop vac some how.

But don't electric motors like that use a different type of electricity other than the type an alternator produces?

a vacuum motor/fan assembly will not make boost, the fan has to be a positive displacement design(I.E. compressor), fans are not blowers (pun intended). you could , however, get a small turbo of off a PSD, take the exhuast side off and mount a very small pully ( to make it spin fast) and make a bracket to mount it on and induction set up to the TB or carb. That would make boost.

The fan i'm talking about isn't like what you have in your house cooling you off on a hot summer day. Its a lot like the compressor in a turbo, what i mean is it sucks the air in through the centre of the housing then it throws it to the oustside in the same way a turbo does. I don't know how well it would produce boost through cause i believe it wouldn't produce enough psi due to the plastic design.

I know that if you had thee compressor part it would have to spin 50,000+ rpm to make sufficient boost but for the exhaust side i wouldn't know, it would be interesting though.
