sounds like similar set up to some of the stuff we did back in the sixties to carbed engines. it would basically be an uncontrolled turbo boost effect but how you would do the fuel management side on injected engines would be interesting without some kind of controller to adjust fuel flow to match the air flow. with the carbs we were using it wasnt that hard. not sure i would do that to an engine i planned on running another 30k miles though. todays valves might take it better than valves of the sixties though. on those engines it was why just drop number three when you can do 1 through 8 at just about the same time. any other people worked with the old crude blown engines??? jimt On Thursday, Oct 17, 2002, at 06:25 America/Denver, WVVW wrote: > OK, this may sound silly, but I saw something recently and I just had > to ask: > > I've seen a product that some of the 'Ricers' are using to boost HP. > It's some kind of an electronic supercharger that mounts in-line > between the filter and throttle body.
