All it needs is to create psi to increase HP. I am sure a leaf blower can do that especially at very low rpm of the engine. Say if the engine is 200hp there can be a 15hp increase which is about 7% 1psi. I am sure it would show up on a Dyno at lower rpm.
@Aeronauticalexplorer Yes a big enough leafblower can make pressure. Also it has to prevent that pressure from escaping and going around the impeller blade or you loose any build up of pressure.
in my town thats call ''chapusero'',people that make things in a wrong way because they are ignorant,lazy or stupid...turbos are expensive for a reason ,think about it..dream is ever cheaper...
i dunno man, simply discounting the device because it makes the fan turn faster is a little dubious. after all, isnt that what you would expect if there was an overall increase?
@turbomopar27 The fan turns faster because there is no load placed on it so it speeds up when the throttle is wide open. The engine is drawing in more air then the fan can provide. It is possible for a slight gain in HP at very low engine speeds if the leaf blower can relieve intake restrictions.
@omega3677 Your theory just confirmed that it didn´t work. IF theres no load in full throttle then the device can´t handle the flow of the engine. For it really works it needs to boosts in wide open throttle, and it cant do it. DONT spend your money on this bullshit, buy a real turbo and install it in your car.
@omega3677 Thats correct. The question is what is the cfm coming out of the leaf blower and whats the cfm of the intake at full throttle. The higher the rpm of the engine, the higher the cfm so if the leaf blower is not pushing enough cfm at full engine throttle @ high rpm, but pushes more than enough at lower rpm, then the engine will put out more low end power. But the idiot never even took the car for a ride. I bet it had way more punch off the line with the blower running like that. NOT LESS
A small turbo spins at about 80,000 rpm to make about 5lbs of boost.... A more expensive leaf blower spins at about 12,000 rpm max. I don't know if the volume of air is any different though. All I know is that turbos work and leaf blowers don't.
(This is a JOKE not serious Troll spray activated) Dood no wayz, you could HOOK UP YOUR A/C TO YOUR INTAKE AND LIKE BLOW IT IN WITH AN ELECTRIC SUPER CHARGER!
just get a big engine ,,or real turbocharger or supercharger ,,dont try that ,,if the thing break u will fuck up ur engine for 1 or 2 hp .,,an if u show those thing to other ppl ,they will laugh at u
two turns come to mind. supercharger. easiest being a procharger type. turbo charger. more involved, but very enjoyable. leaf blower... even useless as yard equipment, cus ur still only moving it around. its still there
Great video - this will once and for all prove people trying to use this method and claiming to have lots of extra HP are idiots. It also shows how so-called performance companies rip people off, as they do with air filters, exhausts and other easy-con items. They rely on the fact that boy racers know nothing about how engines work, then use clever sales people to create adverts that will appeal to the lowest intelligence group. Boy racers are an easy source of income as they're thick & lazy.
LOL, actual flow maps of T3 put average RPM's in the 100,000 to 150,000 range in order to make 15-18psi. before 50,000 RPMS even a real turbo makes virtually no pressure. so what are you expecting from a 25,000rpm leaf blower? you would be better off taking a GIANT shop compressor (Piston type) and power it with your engine to make boost. ;)
@7upflat how bigs the motor on this? while you wont make boost you may get the vacume closer to neutral and if you can get it so the fan to pump enuf not to choke the motor in the top end you should see some low down tourque gains.
thank you for posting this. i am so tired of seeing all the jackass's trying to say their electric shit spinner makes all this horsepower and builds all this boost (while the engines off)
The reason why this did not is because its not an electric turbo its a leaf blower. Yes the rigth type of leaf blower can make boost but this particular model made very little difference.
@7upflat You will not get any boost from this sort of device. It simply doesn't work as the car has no way of dealing with more air. It's a silly idea put about by companies who con boy racers. If they advertise something and claim "hi-flow" "free-flow" "super" "power" "performance" they know none of the boy racers will sue them. Trading Standards are now clamping down on false & misleading adverts for diesel tuning boxes which cause lots of damage and air filters that don't filter like K&N.
@urbex2007 Not all leave blowers are made the same. Hot Rod magizine just release an article testing a leaf blower on a 350/5.7L engine. It made a half pound of boost with a single blower and full pound of boost with a twin blower. Gained around 40 to 50 HP with the twin setup.
@7upflat You need a better leaf blower. Just because you were not able to get your particular leaf blower to work does not mean it did not work for others. Try increasing the airflow of the blower. To increase the cfm of the blower use the leaf blower attachment. That should speed up the air flow leaving the blower giving you more cfm. More cfm equals more air being forced into your engine for a higher pressure build up.
well if there actually is air blowing through it and if it can CREATE some pressure, it would actually help, as the engine on its own is sucking at a vacuum, so its actually like -10 psi, you add something to give more air flow or even then it may say make it -5 psi or something, so basically you have 0 psi your engine would run very good and have more power,
Only way you could make an electric supercharger is if you had say a 700cc 4 cylinder car with a huge alternator and some super expensive high torque motor spinning the compressor fan at a minimum of 50,000 rpm. It is possible but would be very expensive for an effective electric supercharger.
@7upflat Good News, you are wrong. When you have the electric blower running at full juice while the engine is idle, the engine is holding it back. Then when you open the throttle of the engine, it allows the electric motor to reach full rpm. You have to measure the CFM of that blower. Not just the way you did it, thinking the engine spun the motor because it did not. I can tell by when you turned the electric motor off and reved the engine. The engine did not turn the fan motor at all, DO P-2
your all looking at this negatively. i would say its possible for this to help in lower rev ranges depending on what psi you can gain from the leafblower.
however i do recognise that this benfit is lost and the setup becomes a hinderance at higher revs. if this was done prefilter with a high quality 5-10psi blower and a bypass air valve + cutoff switch(which will turn off the motor when its not needed) it will have some low rev range performance and maybe mpg gains.
if u actually think about it hard there is probably a tiny gain, thats almost basically the same thing i as a cold air intake except cold air intake is probably a lot better for your car
what are you talking about? there is boost possible with an electric turbo but only when the engine is OFF so there is no point. It blows leafs from 30 feet but my engine needs a lot more flow
Electric turbos are a scam I show you the proof in this video
you might save a bit of gas, but you will probably waste your time: it wont
So the engine makes the blower's rpms raise. Hmm well folks looks like the engine requires more air than the blower gives. How about you all lookup keywords like Turbochergers, blowoff valves, superchargers. For your info I didn't keyword electric turbocharger, I stumbled opon it.
@micboobadan a turbo and supercharger have a blowoff valve because they overproduce air flow. this is great for high revs. but not for low revs. with better brushless motors electric can get 5 - 10psi and this makes a differnce at low revs. its a hinderance at high revs but the beauty of eletric is that it can be turned off and you can have a bypass valve.
suck(spent power) squeeze(spent pwr) bang(power) blow(spent pwr) turn a loss into a gain or a break even and you have a performance increase
