Could someone tell me why this wouldn't work? This unit gives 7lbs of thrust. If you could flip a switch and go from NA to an extra 7lbs of air pressure, would a fuel injection system be able to adjust by itself?

Axial fans are designed to produce a great deal of flow but stall easily when up against backpressure.


Which is why axial flow compressors are staged. Even early jet engines used centrifigual comressors (well, the Brits & US did).

It is very possible to do an electric supercharger on these cars, but you have to have a motor capable of driving 3-5hp compressor and the current (30-50amps).

It's funny, I actually like the idea of the auxilury Briggs and stratton compressor combo....

Call me crazy...
