My dad always said it was bs, but I did the research and it was actually quite real. How does it work? Is there a valve that allows air to bypass the supercharger, or is there leakage around the screws?
@mayorts3 look close there is a four inch gap under the blower..if this is the movie car thats in london now when you hit the switch on the shifter it just turns on an electric motor and spins just the pulley on the outside of the gutted out blower with a carb sitting under the blower....They do make bypass blowers this isn't one of them
i dont know what some of you are talking about. a so so buddy of mine made an air charger that used an electric motor. he did it with some junk and it worked and give him more horses.
I used to think the switch on blower was BS with my dad, but actually Weiand developed this with Ford for the Australian Super Stallion for use wo supercharging in the outback wo premium petrol if it were not available, and could be switched on when it was available.Very cool.
@fairmontxf87 thanks for the info bro and ya that does suck.. I thought it would be pretty cool if you could turn your blower on and off with just a push of a button.. Its like what they say you cant allways get what you want LOL!!!!
@anthony1bad351 am not sure am not from USA but i think when the blower turns on it suck more air in and the more air the more it burns and you get more horse power
but i heard you can not do it for a long run ore you engin might blow up i think you can see it ass NOS just a extra boost for a short time to get away fast like cops XD
@anthony1bad351, it's basically a prop, there's no real science behind it's operation, it's an electric motor running the fat belt, have a closer look at the engine bay, you'll notice the fat belt is short but hides enough to give the illusion and the constant one tone sound from the charger is a dead give away. so yeah, sorry to burst your bubble bud but at least it looks cool.
Clutch-driven superchargers exist. It would make sense to drive one off the AC compressor, since that pulley is a clutch anyway. All you need is a secondary air intake that bypasses the motionless rotors when the supercharger isn't engaged.
@bondy007100 Correct! I've removed my comment to not further spread this miscomprehension. Seems a real mechanic can spot that AC setup clearly in the movie and the builder confirmed apparantly.
Australia used American Falcons from 1960 to 1971.

@Statimtek, you're right. There was a Hemi 6 that was a combination of Australian and Italian engineering and it was a monster of horse power. One was a 265 C.I. and the smaller one was (I think) a 245 C.I.
Someone has a vid up of a 265 that sounds mild at first and near the end, he really lets it rip and it made my jaw drop in awe.
@Psycausis Yes. There was also a 215 CID. The 215 produced 140 HP, the 245 165HP,the 265, 262 HP and the 262 Six Pack produced 305 HP. Not bad for a six banger!
@Psycausis The Mopar club I belong to puts on a show every year in June.

you are both retarted, you dont know shit bout cars and go to hell neither one of you know shit about cars obviously. so stop with the shit talkin and get on with your lives. im a retired vet with 30 years as a mechanic so stop already, obviously you are young and maybe some day you will wake up and realize what the hell is going on
@peelmeat What do you drive, And for the record I stopped yapping about this shit 3-4 weeks ago. It's called ignore. And by the way, I have a head full of Mopar shit.

A blower that can be turned on and off is contradictory to forced induction. And seeing how they're designed to run as opposed to be turned on and off can create fatigue from stop and go activation.And engines aren't designed to run low/high comp. alternatively. I wouldn't waste time on a blower that can be turned on like that cuz If I wanted a blower, I would want it on full time. And I don't want high comp. only sometimes.Fuck up your pistons with high/low comp back and forth! Who wants that ?
this car has mechanical fuel injection, no computer or electrical connection, bad thing is it has no air filter, any dust, dirt it sucks in. blower has Gilbert pulleys and belt on it makes that lovely sound and charger has clutch in it that you can activate or deactivate it anytime, I installed a few Eaton super chargers this way, it is not easy setup. cheers,
Hey redbuick, Ford Falcons WERE made in the US of A until 70. It's rare but it DOES EXIST It's called the1970 1/2 Ford Falcon . Re-tooled to resemble a 1970 Torino. With a 250 6 cyl. all the way up to a 429 Cobra Jet .So yeah. Learn your shit Or we'll take you to school.Clearly you don't know SHIT!!!
@Navajas440 What Rebuick was talking about were the Falcons built in Australia, never made it to the U.S, and as to your "1970 1/2 Ford Falcon."That was called a Torino King Cobra, an experimental car for running in NASACAR,like the Talledega. So before you start ripping someone for not knowing there cars, be sure you know what the hell you are talking about first!!
@Statimtek Yeah a 1970 1/2 is called a Torino King Cobra. I just called it a 70 1/2 Ford Falcon cuz clearly, I can't read. That is a TORINO COUNTERPART. Like Belvedere, Roadrunner, Satellite. And Poord reskinned the Falcon for that model only because the Falcons were the subcompacts.Like Novas ad Darts were the s.compacts of GM and Mopar. And Torinos were designed to compete against Chargers and Chevelles. So learn your shit and talk when you have a fucking clue.
@Navajas440 Yes the King Cobra is rare, but it has nothing to do with Aussie Falcons.it doesnt even resemble one! Two different beasts. You are clearly the one who needs to be taken to school!!!!
@Statimtek Oh a 67 Cougar and 67 Mustang aren't the same car. Why ? Becuz they don't look the same! Why do cars have to look the same to be 90% the same body/platform you stupid, infantile little fuck ? Does a RR and Charger look the same ? NO. but they are both B-bodies. You and your parents have nothing to do with each other becuz you don't look the same! Yeah logic and you don't collide in the same space. But neither does that hunk of shit in your miniscule skull. INCOMPATIBLE, waste of sperm
@Navajas440 Whaat!What has that got to with anything.Is the English Ford Cortina anything like a U.S Ford? Is a German Ford taunus anything like what is in the U.S. NO! Diffrent platforms diffferent motors. But i guess you are too much of a fucking Yank Redneck to understand that. Anyway Australlian Fords and U.S Fords are totally different. Different platform diffrent motor.Moron
@Statimtek You are obviously undersexed and undereducated and believe AUZ is a superpower. And I bet I've seen you in "Crocodile Dundee" only you fuck sheep in the Outback while swilling Fosters. Australian for Queer. We should've let the Japs rape and kill your inferior stock of criminals. Obviously you're too feeble minded for me to get anything in so I'll leave you to your antiquated country and beloved sheep fucking. And yu only have your poord becuz we had mercy on your backwater subhumans!
@Navajas440 Why cant you guys take this some where else or leave eachother alone!!! by the way the Falcons in America were 2 Doors and they were called Sprints
In this mode, gasoline consumption is reduced and there is less exhaust being emitted. The control system of the present invention also reduces wear and tear on the crankshaft and other engine components for greater reliability and extended engine life. It also reduces stress and wear on the supercharger itself, while keeping it running cooler.
If the driver does not require extra power and performance, the switch is turned off, stopping the flow of electric current. This shuts down the magnetic field, causing the pulleys to be disengaged and disconnecting the supercharger, while still allowing the crankshaft to operate the other accessories.
The belt around the supercharger pulley then rotates, operating the supercharger. When activated, the supercharger forces air into the engine cylinders for greater horsepower output with fuel/air explosions within the cylinders. This provides greater acceleration and top-end speed for the driver.
A switch mounted with the vehicle dashboard controls engine generated electrical current to the system. In order to activate the supercharger, the switch is turned on. Electric current flows to the system and energizes an electromagnet, creating a magnetic field which compels engagement of the rotating accessory pulley with the supercharger pulley by means of a slide plate.
A compact, solid mount unit supercharger control system is installed at the bottom front end of the engine, directly onto the crankshaft of a vehicle. An accessory drive belt around the accessory belt pulley of the system rotates continuously to keep vehicle accessories (alternator, water pump, etc.) operating. A second belt around a larger pulley drives the supercharger blower.
I don't know if this set-up is real or not, but I do know with enough money you can buy supercharger / blower kits that are clutch driven or turn on and off with a button, I don't understand the workings of these complicated devices but I know they exist, I had researched a super charger for my 440, I cant stand all these people saying it doesn't exist, as if there opinion is a fact, they do no research, and don't have a grasp of technological applications outside of pop culture and TV.
@djoctopus70 Considering a "REAL" blower is driven off a crankshaft that runs as long as the car does, how can you turn off the blower with a button while it's being powered by the crank and not expect belt failure ?
@Navajas440 look up vein or centrifugal superchargers, when the clutch is not engaged the pulley spins freely with the engine (like a conduit) and their is an air bypass, when the clutch is engaged it turns the blower on, vein types have been button activated for years. I don't believe a roots (most common) type supercharger can be turned on and off.
@djoctopus70 Well, the roots style like the Interceptor is the one I'm referring to. However there aren't any carbs atop the blower, so it's faux Roots.IDK I have seen Roots type blowers on Fuel Injectons instead of the centrifugals so that seems plausible. I still don't understand how something powered by crank pulley can be activated or de-activated except by a disengaging pulley clurch setup. kinda like a front differential where it turns idly yet, doesn't engage. Why would you want that ?
It's not fake. The entire point of a supercharger is to give you additional speed when required. If you were driving around with a supercharger engaged all the time you you'd be lucky if you got 500 miles on the the car before the engine burned out. You think all that additional speed - supercharger, nitrous, etc. - doesn't come at a cost? If you do than share your invention with the world because you've created cold fusion.
@LeCutter Well, I guess my motor must be" burned out" since I've been running a 6/71 for 10 yrs now. It's just an air pump, it can run for years without hurting anything. Do a little reading on them before making uneducated statements. Start with "detroit diesel" as that is where they originated from. Plenty of videos on here to watch.
@LeCutter Adding a supercharger to a stock engine doesn't do any harm to it as long as the boost pressure is low. Supercharging has been around since the 1920's and nobody has complained so far. The only thing a supercharger does is to compress air by means of a toothed belt that is connected to a pulley on the crankshaft.
The only thing that is bad about S/C is that it takes some of the engines power to be able to turn it. But it makes up for it with instant power at any rev range.
@madreader222 Ill agree with you as long as youre talking about anything newer than 1975. Anything older than that made by any American car company especially chevy completely owns. Theyre all the same quality (which is a mere step below invincible) at that age but I prefer Chevy because all the parts are interchangable between all models of practically anything GM for almost 50 years.
@nel2nv For the new year please don't be so know it all. i don't think you or anyone else is perfect in this world. i love all the arm chair quarterbacks on here who have to point out everyone's mistake. i did make a mistake, i meant to say a dodge charger police car or crown victoria police car. i am sure in the perfect world you live in you have never made a typo. And i know my cars. it's a ford falcon not ever sold in the Us market.351 v8, need i go on? 8-)
@redbuick ive made plenty of typoos thats why i always proofread my stuff, actually i appologize , i read all the comments about the blower and got kinda annoyed lol, im pretty sure the blower was hollowed out with a carb under, my 02 cents lol
@redbuick They were , just not under "Poord Falcon". Shit Auz only had those Poords because Poord made everything for them, Why did Poord have to ship the powerplants and all the other drivetrain to 'em ? They had the Falcon and we had it under Talladega Torino or Gran Torino. All of whom are Full size. Now they're on their own 2 feet and can do it themselves. Same with Europe, But years ago, the big 3 exported E.thing cuz the Ame. V8s w/ + comp. were not necess. in Eur. where gas is expen.
@two45triox I can't believe people are actually stating on here that it is actually real...lol Oh yeah, I wish I could turn a blower on and off while the motor is running..hehheh
@bullnuts101 Nowadays you can turn your supercharger on and off, some have centrifugal clutched pulleys with a electric actuator on them. Blitz makes one for the Toyota Yaris.
@fordxbgtfalcon I have looked it up, dad...Those setups are basically an air pump similar to a turbo that is driven via a belt instead of exhaust gases. Yes, they are indeed switchable on/off by a clutch similar to an a/c compressor. The matter in question here is that there is no way to turn on an off a conventional style "blower" or "supercharger" as is pictured on this car.
@fordxbgtfalcon EVERY car guy (or ones who know something) refer to this setup as a blower. (although they are called superchargers as well) The others are superchargers or turbos.The basic idea of all of them is to pressurize the intake charge so as to be able to feed a more dense air/fuel charge thus creating more power.Did you really put a flowmaster and an overpriced piece of aluminum intake pipe on an old 4 door accord? I bet that thing is a real race rocket. lol
@bullnuts101 I still win, and the accord was like 4 years ago, and it was the slowest car of all time but who cares? you watched my vid so I guess that means your fascinated with me or something?
@bluesguy321 its a fake blower its hooked up to an electric motor to make the pully spin just some hollywood magic, but the car is bad ass none the less.
@moscowmeetsmiami really? because that looks like a solid intake bolted to the manifold and the way it's torquing the engine while it's just in park or neutral shows me it has some serious power coming from it
@wesker723@moscowmeetsmiami no im pretty sure its a fake blower one the 1. the one movie was fake. 2. you cant turn a blower on and off when ever you want. if the blower was off the car would shut off because no air would get through the compressor. 3 i can see right under that blower its like 3 inches higher than the rest of the manifold. blower is fake. the movie is cool. and that motor makes frame twisting torque on all motor.
@moscowmeetsmiami no im pretty sure its a fake blower one the 1. the one movie was fake. 2. you cant turn a blower on and off when ever you want. if the blower was off the car would shut off because no air would get through the compressor. 3 in see right under that blower its like 3 inches higher than the rest of the manifold. do your research the blower is fake. the movie is cool. and that motor makes frame twisting torque on all motor.
@moscowmeetsmiami Seems like it would have been easier to use a real blower then building a custom electric thing. Wonder why they didn't? I like how is sounds like a vacuum cleaner. LOL
this could be done with , like the coments before, a clutch system similar to an air conditioning unit. However to let the engine run at rpm internal porting in the supercharger would have to be done with an air flow check valve system so when the supercharger went posative the valve would close. As for the fuel calibration with todays tech, in e.f.i. i dont think that would be an issue either.
My dad always said it was bs, but I did the research and it was actually quite real. How does it work? Is there a valve that allows air to bypass the supercharger, or is there leakage around the screws?

@mayorts3 look close there is a four inch gap under the blower..if this is the movie car thats in london now when you hit the switch on the shifter it just turns on an electric motor and spins just the pulley on the outside of the gutted out blower with a carb sitting under the blower....They do make bypass blowers this isn't one of them

With a 250 6 cyl. all the way up to a 429 Cobra Jet .So yeah. Learn your shit Or we'll take you to school.Clearly you don't know SHIT!!!

taipan185 10 months ago
@Navajas440 What Rebuick was talking about were the Falcons built in Australia, never made it to the U.S, and as to your "1970 1/2 Ford Falcon."That was called a Torino King Cobra, an experimental car for running in NASACAR,like the Talledega. So before you start ripping someone for not knowing there cars, be sure you know what the hell you are talking about first!!
Statimtek 10 months ago
@Statimtek Yeah a 1970 1/2 is called a Torino King Cobra. I just called it a 70 1/2 Ford Falcon cuz clearly, I can't read. That is a TORINO COUNTERPART. Like Belvedere, Roadrunner, Satellite. And Poord reskinned the Falcon for that model only because the Falcons were the subcompacts.Like Novas ad Darts were the s.compacts of GM and Mopar. And Torinos were designed to compete against Chargers and Chevelles. So learn your shit and talk when you have a fucking clue.

Why do cars have to look the same to be 90% the same body/platform you stupid, infantile little fuck ? Does a RR and Charger look the same ? NO. but they are both B-bodies. You and your parents have nothing to do with each other becuz you don't look the same! Yeah logic and you don't collide in the same space. But neither does that hunk of shit in your miniscule skull.

In this mode, gasoline consumption is reduced and there is less exhaust being emitted. The control system of the present invention also reduces wear and tear on the crankshaft and other engine components for greater reliability and extended engine life. It also reduces stress and wear on the supercharger itself, while keeping it running cooler.
djoctopus70 10 months ago
If the driver does not require extra power and performance, the switch is turned off, stopping the flow of electric current. This shuts down the magnetic field, causing the pulleys to be disengaged and disconnecting the supercharger, while still allowing the crankshaft to operate the other accessories.
djoctopus70 10 months ago
The belt around the supercharger pulley then rotates, operating the supercharger. When activated, the supercharger forces air into the engine cylinders for greater horsepower output with fuel/air explosions within the cylinders. This provides greater acceleration and top-end speed for the driver.
djoctopus70 10 months ago
A switch mounted with the vehicle dashboard controls engine generated electrical current to the system. In order to activate the supercharger, the switch is turned on. Electric current flows to the system and energizes an electromagnet, creating a magnetic field which compels engagement of the rotating accessory pulley with the supercharger pulley by means of a slide plate.
djoctopus70 10 months ago
A compact, solid mount unit supercharger control system is installed at the bottom front end of the engine, directly onto the crankshaft of a vehicle. An accessory drive belt around the accessory belt pulley of the system rotates continuously to keep vehicle accessories (alternator, water pump, etc.) operating. A second belt around a larger pulley drives the supercharger blower.

Navajas440 11 months ago
I don't know if this set-up is real or not, but I do know with enough money you can buy supercharger / blower kits that are clutch driven or turn on and off with a button, I don't understand the workings of these complicated devices but I know they exist, I had researched a super charger for my 440, I cant stand all these people saying it doesn't exist, as if there opinion is a fact, they do no research, and don't have a grasp of technological applications outside of pop culture and TV.
djoctopus70 11 months ago
@djoctopus70 Considering a "REAL" blower is driven off a crankshaft that runs as long as the car does, how can you turn off the blower with a button while it's being powered by the crank and not expect belt failure ?
Navajas440 11 months ago
@Navajas440 look up vein or centrifugal superchargers, when the clutch is not engaged the pulley spins freely with the engine (like a conduit) and their is an air bypass, when the clutch is engaged it turns the blower on, vein types have been button activated for years. I don't believe a roots (most common) type supercharger can be turned on and off.
djoctopus70 10 months ago
@djoctopus70 Well, the roots style like the Interceptor is the one I'm referring to. However there aren't any carbs atop the blower, so it's faux Roots.IDK I have seen Roots type blowers on Fuel Injectons instead of the centrifugals so that seems plausible. I still don't understand how something powered by crank pulley can be activated or de-activated except by a disengaging pulley clurch setup. kinda like a front differential where it turns idly yet, doesn't engage. Why would you want that ?
Navajas440 10 months ago
It's not fake. The entire point of a supercharger is to give you additional speed when required. If you were driving around with a supercharger engaged all the time you you'd be lucky if you got 500 miles on the the car before the engine burned out. You think all that additional speed - supercharger, nitrous, etc. - doesn't come at a cost? If you do than share your invention with the world because you've created cold fusion.
LeCutter 11 months ago
@LeCutter Well, I guess my motor must be" burned out" since I've been running a 6/71 for 10 yrs now. It's just an air pump, it can run for years without hurting anything. Do a little reading on them before making uneducated statements. Start with "detroit diesel" as that is where they originated from. Plenty of videos on here to watch.
59Mack 11 months ago
@LeCutter Adding a supercharger to a stock engine doesn't do any harm to it as long as the boost pressure is low. Supercharging has been around since the 1920's and nobody has complained so far. The only thing a supercharger does is to compress air by means of a toothed belt that is connected to a pulley on the crankshaft.
The only thing that is bad about S/C is that it takes some of the engines power to be able to turn it. But it makes up for it with instant power at any rev range.

@madreader222 Ill agree with you as long as youre talking about anything newer than 1975. Anything older than that made by any American car company especially chevy completely owns. Theyre all the same quality (which is a mere step below invincible) at that age but I prefer Chevy because all the parts are interchangable between all models of practically anything GM for almost 50 years.

@redbuick They were , just not under "Poord Falcon". Shit Auz only had those Poords because Poord made everything for them, Why did Poord have to ship the powerplants and all the other drivetrain to 'em ? They had the Falcon and we had it under Talladega Torino or Gran Torino. All of whom are Full size. Now they're on their own 2 feet and can do it themselves. Same with Europe, But years ago, the big 3 exported E.thing cuz the Ame. V8s w/ + comp. were not necess. in Eur. where gas is expen.

fordxbgtfalcon 1 year ago
@fordxbgtfalcon I have looked it up, dad...Those setups are basically an air pump similar to a turbo that is driven via a belt instead of exhaust gases. Yes, they are indeed switchable on/off by a clutch similar to an a/c compressor. The matter in question here is that there is no way to turn on an off a conventional style "blower" or "supercharger" as is pictured on this car.
bullnuts101 1 year ago
@bullnuts101 you said A blower, not this blower, so yes you can turn a blower off and on while the motor is running. I win
fordxbgtfalcon 1 year ago
@fordxbgtfalcon EVERY car guy (or ones who know something) refer to this setup as a blower. (although they are called superchargers as well) The others are superchargers or turbos.The basic idea of all of them is to pressurize the intake charge so as to be able to feed a more dense air/fuel charge thus creating more power.Did you really put a flowmaster and an overpriced piece of aluminum intake pipe on an old 4 door accord? I bet that thing is a real race rocket. lol

cyco781loco1 1 year ago
this could be done with , like the coments before, a clutch system similar to an air conditioning unit. However to let the engine run at rpm internal porting in the supercharger would have to be done with an air flow check valve system so when the supercharger went posative the valve would close. As for the fuel calibration with todays tech, in e.f.i. i dont think that would be an issue either.
