anyone for a blow job?

Yeah you could, but it requires moving other things like the re-routing the exhaust manifold for example.

I'd expect a 20% leach in output bhp to drive itself, but I have some heavy reservations about a v-belt being able to transmit enough energy to drive the blower (when it's compressing air).

But for now I just wanna see if it will work, might do, might not.

trust me. a turbo or a supercharger when fitted to a 100 hp engine, would easily make the engine kick out 150hp. but if you could remove the drive for the supercharger from the engine & power it from an elec motor, the engine would kick out 200hp. they waste a lot of energy to make power

yeah have it on the front lol,

erm, it would not fit, the rads even in the way, the thing is huge lol

nick, you may need to make a new intake manifold & get the charger closer.... is it a suck thru or a blow thru design????

Trouble is, you dont get free power. An eleccy motor would need a fapping great alternator to power it to the speeds you would need to get it to perform, which would probably sap just as much power from the motor as the pulley would.

Turbo motors use power spinning up the turbo, It doesnt spin for free!

Both methods are worth the losses for the gains, Turbo's may be more efficient, but SG's dont come with the inherent heat problems, and thats what's always put me off tubbies, so if I ever went forced induction, it would be a blower every time methinks.

it sounds cool aswell :thumb:

Nick, if its sucking too much fit a bigger pulley to the blower. TBH i would start with lower boost anyway, but then this is you and I know you will be wanting to snap all the head bolts on the first go lol lol

Limpy you Poof! I know you would go for hard suck straight off! Your not kidding anyone.

You know me too well :(
