Default Self Made Turbo/Supercharger Idea...

I was thinking about ideas for some kind of "home made" supercharger/turbo. I have a cold air intake on my 86. I was thinking of getting a very high speed/high flow fan, and mounting it somehow either inside the tube, or fabricate something special to go around the filter and house the fan. Any opinions or ideas?

Use a leaf-blower. That should work right?

maby the ac or smog pump might help

where those electric superchargers might help you if u can hook it up to a real vortec or turbo and use it as a power pipe

Haha! Somewhere there's a video of guys with a civic dyno testing it with and without a leafblower taped to the intake. It did actually produce a smidge more power, tho probably still within a margin of dyno error. There is a real electric supercharger:

Thomas Knight Turbo Electric Supercharger - Tech Review - Turbo Magazine

Of course it takes like 4 batteries and costs thousands of dollars and only works for a set amount of time before needing a charge. The down side to using the leaf blower style is that, even if you make a couple of HP, you have to explain why you have an electric turbo under your hood.

Most guys find out its more of a restriction than anything, it would take on hell of a fan to push boost. A supercharger is just a fan of sorts and it requires 80 or so hp to at boost to push it. Look at the cfm of a turbo once, they flow a lot of air to create that boost. Maybe you could tow a ingersol rand industrial compressor, like for road construction.
