I was chatting with a friend that is into rc hobbies and he indicated he just succesfully used a ducted fan with a 27 turn electric motor, in the intake track powwered by the bikes electrics. the system is only activated by a full throtle switch. He indicated the system is able to reach 5lbs of boost. Has anyone tried this before and is 5 lbs worth the effort on a crx?

 

if u could get 5psi out of it, it would be totally worth it, but good luck with it :1

 

Try it out. Shouldnt take 30 minutes to hook up. Just make sure the motor doesnt grenade and go in your....motor.

 

Please make sure you get your NASA license to drive that rocket ship after its all hooked up and ready for launch.

 

I have a hard time beliving it made 5psi.

 

esp with a 27 turn STOCK motor.........

hook up a 9-12 turn motor, maybe, but the current draw even at 12 volts would be insane.

 

Wait, what is the setup this guy put this on, you mention RC hobbies, and a bike, so is it an RC bike with a tiny little engine? If so even if he could get 5psi on it, doesn't mean you could on a big (by comparison) CRX engine.
Don't know if you're talking about the same type of fan, but https://www.homemadeturbo.com/tech_projects/el_blower/

 

cfm is everything

 

What good is CFM if there's no pressure behind it?

 

the application is a 800cc bike so half the displacment of a crx, the motor is not a regular 27 turn but a high end motor. a 7-9 turn would not provide enough sustained rpm this is the reason for the 27 turn, I gess for a inventment of 150.00 its worth a try, any ideas for fuel managment
