impossible project Need Help
 

I am a college student takin Mechanical Engineering 101 For our final we have been give a group project Create a type of boost for a 420A engine Butnot aftermarket parts. A cheap Homemade turbo boost system. Right now my idea is to hook a fuel injector to a soleniod Need help Anybody got an idea or have done it before Help please

You could route two exhaust ports back to the intake. Its boost, just not the kind you want.

What about some sort of gas that expands once it sees the heat from the engine?

What about the old school days of using a smog pump to boost pressures slightly?

Or, you could do something like the new Mercedes (I think), that has a pump hooked up to the crank that uses steam to increase rotational force. Not quite boost but it does add power.

I forget who did it, but some guys boosted several cars with a gas leaf blower. It worked too

No aftermarket? The head off to the junkyard in search of an itty bitty ass turbo :)

Re: impossible project Need Help
 

wtf!?

You really gotta be more specific than this. And how much do you care about the engine.
Do you have to prove it's effectiveness or can you just sticker tune? What's the story?

Make an electric pump that injects pressurized air into the engine. Basically an air compressor hooked up to feed the engine. The electricity can be supplied by the rotating axle of the wheel, or better yet, the crank.

The idea of the project is recreate the same effects of a turbo but nota the same design. A turbo pressurize the intake air by using the exhaust is isn't it possible to use some time of electric air pump. If so how to create low and high boost how the hell would u go about connecting it to weak ass 420 A engine

if you conneted an air pump to it, couldnt you put a resistor with a switch to the power to lower the voltage so it runs slower?

your an idiot. your descriptions suck and i forsee you failing your project.
