Yea, 803 CFM is what a 88mm exducer GT40 flows.

Should be good for 550 or so at the crank of a GSR b18c.

A eaton M62 supercharger on a cobalt flows about 35lb/m.... so it would be similar to running 2 eaton superchargers.

If you check the q&aīs you will see why you canīt run it for more than 30 minutes at once, and this is not a joke. "A:
once u ride it u will understand its way 2 fast for over 30 min it will not only overheat any engin at presiseley 30 min but it will also hurt ur catalitic convertor"
The only thing they forgot to mention is that it will also melt your ------- face off.

and the welds on your intake!

wouldn't do much
1) tiny ass brushed motor
2) centrifugal FANS can move alot of air, they can't compress it or keep air from running back through the housing
you can't use a ducted fan - well, because they also will not compress air & keep it from running back through the unit. Ducted fans are built to accellerate air to the max. you need very high speeds, and the end of your run to be (generalization ahead) 88-92% the diameter of the ducted fan's housing size.
youd need to machine yourself a blower of centrifugal compressor to really get something done.
you wouldn't find a brushed motor that could get a CC up to speed. brushless would be out of the question price wise. you could find motors that could spin a blower tho.
another big problem is battery output. you're not going to find a single car battery thats going to like driving the amount of wattage it will take to do anything useful.

barring that you didn't want to gear a motor on a roots blower. only way youd do anything useful would be taking some battery packs into your car, running the largest R/C ducted fan brushless motor & brushless speed controller you can get your hands on. even now youd be spending more than a nearly bare el-cheapo turbo project would cost and not making 1/3 as much gain



been there done that

I'ma get four of these, and run each one straight into an intake runner. Screw ITB's, individual turbos are where it's at.

I just mounted a 6 gallon air compressor in my trunk and hooked up 6 hoses up to my intake so i can get the cfm flowing. I can do 90 psi in a split second and it hits hard. Spins 5th at 750rpms hard and i can operate my impact while boosting.

------- A, I think you just defined the next auto-customization movement :D

i saw a mustang that made like 8 psi on a electric leaf blower, and a power inverter he had no hood on. funny as hell to see but it worked in the lower rpms

I wonder how they came up with those hp numbers, maybe they pulled them out of there ass.
