Leaf blower turbo

I always wondered if you could route the AC ducting into the Intake track so when you are driving you could blast some cold air into the engine. Not that the AC squirrel cage is more powerful than a leaf blower but cold air never hurts. :D

I could be wrong on this, but with the HP you spend in turning an AC compressor, I think it would be a wash (between the HP it cost you to turn AC comressor and the HP that your increasing). REMEMBER, every accesory load you put on an engine, whether it be electrical (fan blower motor) or mechanical (belt driven AC compressor) requires a certain amount of RPM to produce it.

Fuck the leaf blower, I got one of those blowers for my kids jumping castle, it's actually shaped just like a turbo and has a flat plate on the bottom where bolts could hold it in. I would never put it in my truck though. However I wouldn't mind playing around with it in an old busted up car. I don't think the MAF sensor could handle the amount of air being forced in and accurately adjust the fuel delivery though. Maybe having a mounting point away from the airbox, and running some piping to a hole in the airbox where it would still have to flow through the filter. I found a pic of how it looks, it's the yellow high powered blower, the second to the last picture on the bottom right.

Man, if only I had a dime for every time this was reposted.:p

Guess it's funny again if you have no long-term memory though.:)
 
Video kinda explains why they're out of business and the building is for sale. Is every moron with a dyno in the Charlotte area?

For every 10 degrees you drop the intake temperature you gain about 1% more horse power. If the air is blowing at 65-70 degrees that could make some HP.
 
did or didn't they try some sort of ac charge to the intake on a ford lightning for a brief hp gain? i know (thought i knew) i heard it in concept or am just retarded. and i post this at the risk of being crucified for being stupid
