Insane Idea..Electric blower on air-intake..???

Postby Muad_dib77 » Tue Jul 04, 2006 9:47 am

So yeah whilst the FTO has been off the road I've had PLENTY of time to think about what I really want to do with her..Other than just DRIVE..

I've come across of Forced induction kits - essitially an electric blower forcing air into your engine..so besically like a mini turbo...I think..

Does anybody have any experience with these?

or perhaps read any tests of such products?

I have a stupid Idea that I might to put together my own kit of a porsche blower engine as the design or it is pretty much straight through..

out-FAN-in (FAN is 12v)

Shouldn't cost more than 25-30squids to try it... and if it's not worth while I can always resell the blower afterwards :-)

*** Update ***

Checked the hose diameter of the Porchase blowers and it's just 6cm -also the airflow is quite low afaik.. I'm thinking I'll need 5" 6" but i'm not 100% certain as I'm not at my beloved FTO at the minute..
Does anybody know that the diameter of the standard intake pipe is?

I've found a 4" blower with a throughput of 240CFM.. Also It's splashproof which is always a bonus.
