RE: God this is so tempting...
i would still think that its got to do something... i mean not like a turbo but small amount of somehting...
idk but i have a fan that is shaped like a turbo that was use for keeping a fire going and i want to hook it up just for fun to see.. and im putting in a new engine anyways,,, but its got alot of pressure comeing out of it...

in all simplicity consider this, seriously.
I myslef am not for the "electric turbo" concept, however if not to produce boost, think in terms of drag equivalency. if one atmosphere is 14.7 psi at sea level, then that is the pressure the atmosphere has to fill your cylender when its on the intake stroke. so if we run at -3 psi then we are only really at 11.x psi to push into a cylender. so if this electric fan were to reduce drag and equalize vacuum we could easily see 100 percent volumetric efficiency through the head. just by getting rid of -psi. we could demand less of the electric motor and keep it living instead of killing it for a short joy ride. reduce the voltage to it until your vacuum gage reads neutral.
perhaps not good enough to produce boost. but perhaps good enough to equalize vacuum? maybe.
tell me what you think.

maybe it would be a little more comforting if the engine was running.
50 hpfor $120 kinda seems like its too good to be true

So my idea would be a leaf blower? Hook it into a power converter hooked to a turn **** switch to adjust the power to it. Huh? Huh?

this wont produce boost, blowers only increase the velocity of the air. You need a compressor to increase the pressure of the air

RE: God this is so tempting...
you have to compare the cfm that the electric fan produces anyway... most of these fans dont flow enough air to be useful even at idle. But the gas powered leaf-blower idea has been proven at the dyno... but who is going to run around with a leaf-blower sticking out of their hood? I have looked at the specs of some of the more expensive units and they can flow as much as 600 cfm or more
