been looking on ebay and found an eletric supercharger that clames to add 1psi to any normaly aspreated engine. would that make a lot of difference?
So its a fan then. :D
And no, doubt it will make any noticable difference.
Cheers

A 2litre engine (4-stroke) takes two full cylinders of air every engine revolution. That's a litre of air for every revolution.
At 6000rpm it's therefore sucking in 6000 litres of air per minute, which is 100 litres of air per second!
Show me a fan powered from your car battery that can provide that. :rolleyes:
And that is to allow ensure it doesn't restrict the flow that your induction requires - if you want to boost by 1psi at this speed, it needs to be flowing approx 107 litres per second.

thought as much. thinking of making my own using a model aircraft jet (high powered fan in ducting) should be able to get a bit more then 1psi and sound hilarious .
i'll have to expreiment. dont think it'l have that sort of airflow though.

Ah, reminds me of the time we re-routed the ducting from the heater fan from the dashboard vents onto the top of the carb on my mate's MG Metro... Those were the days...
