[@ju1c3washere]

Just more air, doesnt mean more power. You can put a turbo and push 2 bar into that engine, but without allowing more fuel from ECU = no more power, thats it. You must keep the correct AFR for the optimal power, just put more boost is worthless.

[@GTALOVER9]

Yep, thats true

[@xHighPotencyx]

Well, you'd blow up the engine at 2 bar of boost and no fuel compensation. That said, there's no way a computer fan is even adding enough air to make a difference.

[@ju1c3washere]

HighPotency Yes, you are right, with 2 bar boost you'll have a very lean AFR(air fuel ration), and gasoline engines doesnt like too lean condition, EGT will increase and engine will blow. In diesel engines things are little different, for 2 bar you can put X fuel or X+30% fuel, risks will be almost the same(excluding extrapower, internal pressure and so on). Diesel likes lean condition. But idea was, you can put any supercharger/fan/even turbo to create boost or not, power will be the same without additional fuel from ECU and maybe bigger injectors.

[@alexbogatz4702]

on most stock engines the air/fuel ratio is automatic its gonna go lean for a couple pops but then the O2 sensor would be saying hey your not burning enough so the fuel ratio would be adjusted accordingly consider how the throttle doesnt actually do anything with fuel, it adjust how much air goes into the engine, or rather how much air is choked with full throttle being no choke. the engine knows how much fuel to add even thought you didnt tell it theres going to be more air

[@btaaj8]

alex bogatz keep in min thats is only goung to work with a car running obd2 (i think its 97+) but you are correct but only to a certin exstent because if your running (for example) 1:1 ratio of fuel to air but you then increace air it then you have a 2:1 or 1: .5 but the ecu would only allow itself to change it by .3 - .4 before just quitting and throwing a code.

[@calebjohnson8718]

You're gonna need a throttle body spacer to really unlock its potential. Throw an Xplode deck and subs in the back and enjoy the new power in your Civic Kyle!👍

[@soundseeker63]

Surely they could have gotten more gains if they adjusted the carburetor? More air isn't going to give you any additional power without additional fuel going in too.

[@RSProduxx]

+soundseeker63 thats the problem there... in another video they test "tuning air filters",which can obviously DEcrease the power, since they mess up the air/ fuel mixture... but from my experience, if done right, you can very well gain a little bit with filter tuning... (perfectly fine on 2-stroke engines on mopeds... my Honda went from 35 to 45 kph just by removing the filter... Others "faked" exhaust turbos and gained a few kph that way... good old days :D)

[@DaveDablave]

I was thinking the same thing. I could see how its possible in fuel injected cars. The ecu would increase (up to the limit of the injectors and pump which, granted, probably isn't much) the fuel input to balance the increased MAP and/or MAF. Cheap "chips" do this by artificially upping the map/maf signal.

[@scottbarnes7268]

you stole the words right out of my mouth air to fuel ratio wasn't correct

[@JohnDabs420]

in an engine oxygen produces power. the fuel is only a catalyst of sorts. a perfect fuel ratio is 14.7:1. you need 14.7x the amount of fuel you need for a perfect combustion. now this doesn't mean you produce peak power with that ratio it's just the ratio for best fuel economy. typically on everday cars you dump more fuel than you need into the cylinders. so that's why you get more power by having better air filter and induction system. but that being said to maximize power you need an all around upgrade. So what if you can pump 5+ psi of air into each cylinder it doesn't matter if you can't spray enough fuel in there. you'll get small gains but the rest of your systems will bottleneck the power. effenciey is the biggest power gain

[@JaakkoF]

[@henris8367]

it actually needs to go counterclockwise

[@aliciashepherd1805]

AceInvader actually a reduction in power from this kit is a good thing. Basically any change to the output of torque or power shows a variation in how that car is running. While these kits are flawed simply because they don't provide any way to change the fuel supply to a car there was also a lot of issues with this testing. Firstly a carby air box has air gaps and a crankcase hose for venting blowby gases from the engine. Secondly the carby itself would need to be changed, in history there has been very few cars with a carby after a forced induction device mainly because it is rather difficult to design, which is also why most supercharged v8's had carbys before the air pump although it does risk pinking inside the intake manifold. Thirdly the relationship between airspeed and pressure is covered by Bernoulli's effect (in fact traditional roots style superchargers don't actually compress air as much as increase its speed) so an increase to airflow is good but due to the carby design it would still be impossible to control the air file mix. At best they could have had the airbox removed and tuned the carby to have a rich mixture to attempt to get a higher power level at a certain rpm but it would have ment a horrific fuel air mix anywhere but at that rpm. They are correct for saying the kit is rubbish but not so much for the reasons they gave. As far as a entertainment perspective goes though these guys seem to be a lot better to watch than that "Australian top gear" rubbish that stereotypes Australians.

[@broncokonco]

Increase in fluid velocity results in a decrease in pressure. If pressure isn't increased, there's no way a larger CFM is going to make it into the engine.

[@kuyans3889]

It'd look like it was going backwards because of low framerates.

[@ziiofswe]

That's basically the principle of the nitrous oxide systems they use in dragracing, but with nitrous oxide gas instead of ordinary air. (Both contain oxygen.) The NOS systems also have additional fuel lines, since it's a bad idea to add just oxygen. ("Adding just oxygen" is how a cutting torch works... and they cut big ugly holes in metal.)

[@Dharshanth.k]

I would like to make 2 humble suggestions over here 1. Maybe you guys should have serviced the car like changing the gearbox oil and the changing the engine oil to a higher grade ones. 2.You guys could have change the air filters cause it could be dirty and clogged up with dirt which prevents the air flow to the engine. Maybe then it could produce the actual amount of power that the electric fan could deliver.Its just a humble opinion.

Due to the fact that real turbochargers work by compressing the air so that there is more oxygen in the piston chamber (more oxygen more boost) then would mounting an air compressor work?

[@KR4FTW3RK]

+Robert Perry theoretically... maybe. But since a tank of NOS contains a lot more oxygen than a a tank of air that might be a better option.

[@barney9008]

I have always wondered why use nitros oxide why not use pure oxygen

[@KR4FTW3RK]

NOS is simply easier to handle: It will liquify under pressure at room temperatures while oxygen needs to be cooled to nearly absolute zero in order to liquify, this is why oxygen is usually stored in its gaseous state (under high pressure) where its far less dense than liquid NOS.

[@roji556]

+KR4FT W3RK It also is far more combustible and (if I'm not mistaken) considered Hazardous Cargo since you know, it can explode.

[@godchi1dvonsteuben770]

You guys got it wrong. Now I personally innovated this, so when ricers all over the world are doing this, remember me... Ok, here we go... Take an E-go electric leaf blower, bolt it to your hood, with rubber bushings between washers between your nut and hoods underside, and between your bolt head an leaf blower, to reduce vibration and sound. Be sure to use thread lock. Use the hole saw and flex hose and adapters, just like yours. Just before the throttle body (yes throttle body, you're waisting your time with carbeurated) drill progressively larger holes, in a row, Fabricate a slide attached to a spring, for return, and a bike brake cable for pull. Run the cable through your firewall, attach it to a mounted bike brake lever, you now have a manual blow off valve. Take an electronic thermometer, remove the metal tip, affix the metal tip to the electric engine of the E-Go blower, splice the wires to much longer wires, run them through the same opening in your firewall that you ran the blow off valve cable (ac drain pipe opening comes in handy), attach them to the body of the electronic thermometer. Let the blower, with the blow off valve all the way open, run. Do this to set a baseline operating temperature. Now when you drive keep an eye on the temperature, if it gets too hot open the blow off valve, by pulling the bike brake lever, accordingly. Manually open and close (by releasing the brake lever, which works because you have a spring attached to the opposite side of the flat plastic slide covering the blow off holes) the blow off valve to keep it as near to the optimal operating temperature as possible. Last but not least bypass the on-off switch on the ego blower, run the wires through the same opening as the rest of the equipment is wired, and then splice in an on off switch, mounting the switch on the wheel, dash or middle console. Now, as you drive, the air intake for the E-Go blower will allow your throttle body to pull are in, naturally aspirated and unobstructed, but when you turn on the blower (with the blow off valve fully closed) it will compressed air in the line, generating a small amount of boost. The only mistakes you guys made were lack of blow off valve, lack of system for controlling said blow off valve, and you're using the wrong blowers. You can use one two three or four (God knows how many if you choose, but to remain cost-effective you can only use one) but they gotta be E-Go blowers. You should use only one, Otherwise it's no longer and inexpensive, being as the E-Go blower is one of the more expensive electric blowers on the market.The E-Go blower is the only one that forces enough air to make this a viable boost system, each one moving nearly triple the air at triple the rate of one of your Ryobi blowers... There ya go. E-Go plus redneck engineered power switch, thermostat and blow off valve, you got the... Wait for it!... GHETTO TURBO!!! ya heard it here first!!!

A boost pressure gauge would have been informative. Turbocharger turbines draw tens of kWatts from the exhaust to drive the compressor.

In the UK some car dealers get such a crappy part exchange car that they will practically give it to you, for all of £1. This is because it would cost them more to get rid of it than have someone take it off their hands! Road legal too, sometimes...

In fairness, you do have to be very lucky to find one, as many dealers will pay for commercial scrappage anyway. But, it's possible sometimes in the right place and time, as shown by Jeremy Clarkson's Volvo :P

They also strapped an engine to a trailer to create boost for the main engine.

This is the video that brought me to mcm and I’ve been here ever since

[@Trades46]

Watching this makes me laugh at people who actually believe these Ebay systems actually do something to your car's performance. On a side note, electric superchargers aren't fantasy: read up the Audi RS5 TDI Concept. It has a twin-turbo V6 diesel and also Audi strapped a electric supercharger on top of it all. However the said EV supercharger does require a separate 48 volt battery to power it exclusively on top of the car's existing 12v system. Kind of goes to show you how much power you need to be needing before actual performance gains become apparent.

[@monneratrj]

MOOG and Marty, why didnt you guys tried to seal the air intake into the industrial fan in front of the dyno?! that would be MAAAADDDD!!!!

[@lonereeper6343]

Hahaha they'd have to roof mount it with industrial ducting through the bonnet to drive it on the street and run a couple of truck batteries in the boot to power it. CLASSIC thought mate! Thumbs up!

[@monneratrj]

Lone Reeper well you didnt understand did you?? and still u bash... i was saying TO TRY IT ON DYNO... NOT RUNNING THAT ON STREETS!!! you would not have a power source to run that industrial fan in the car... it would still be powered by the facility... ¬¬

[@lonereeper6343]

Well what's the fuckin' use of dynoing it if that's the only place you can utilise the horsepower? I did listen and I wasn't bashing ya but now I am...Hey I know, let's build a car with a thousand horsepower and take the wheels off it so we can never fuckin' drive it anywhere!!! That'd be great fun Pfft....shakes head...

[@monneratrj]

Lone Reeper the use would be to make fun of it and have a laugh and a good time... jeez u guys are so damn stupid... you already know the answer you wanted to, get a turbo or a supercharger... that doesnt mean they cant have some fun and do some funny things...

[@MrReape]

I tried it and my daihatsu was blown like a baloon, then it flew away (even PROFESSIONAL duct mounting didn't help). So I couldn't complete the dyno test ( BTW, looking for a new garage mate (I got new daihatsu).

[@leeengelsman6356]

if you want more power you will also have to change the jetting and exhaust flow

[@ROTAXD]

Lee Engelsman I highly doubt they were feeding it enough air to cause a lean condition. If anything, the "electric supercharger" restricted airflow.

[@1Goobertron]

All of the gains would have been achievable if the kit pod filter had been installed lol Love how the specs were read straight faced, and the turbo comparison - 'they're exactly the same'

[@VioletGiraffe]

This looks kinda silly. The compressor / turbine puts more air into the combustion chamber, so that you can burn more fuel without making the mixture rich. You've added chargers, but what did you adjust the fuel feeding system to put more fuel in?

[@Chefm4477]

Fantastic! This video was the best time I spent on You Tube in recent memory.

This was fun 2 watch once u overlook the not sealed breather with a pcv vent pipe so ur pressurising the crank case also.

[@TheDarthEmperor]

Its hooked up to a carbureted engine. You can do this test a million times and it will vary like hell. They should have used a fuel injected engine. This supercharger has to work in one way or another, its mathematically impossible not to.

[@dcaonoek]

It is possible for it not to due to the fact it can't flow the air required to run the engine at full throttle. It is actually lowering volumetric efficiency.

[@TheDarthEmperor]

Dane Cook Lets assume the fan is not capable of generating enough air to supply the demand of the engine. At full throttle or any throttle, the vacuum created by the pistons would cause the fan to propel faster because the fan has centrifugal blades. I can not wait to order my electric super charger! I'm gonna order 4 and make a quad barrel supercharger!!!!

[@dcaonoek]

"because the fan has centrifugal blades." Not sure if trolling or just stupid....... You should look up the work 'centrifugal' and then realise it does not apply to this axial flow fan.

[@TheDarthEmperor]

Dane Cook Its a fucking Turbine fan!! Respect the product!

[@hopkinstreeexperts759]

What’s nuts is these leaf blowers have inlets on the bottom, which was heavily cut off by the hood. So you could actually see much larger gains were they to be open.

[@nabiln.6055]

Adding air pression is useless if u dont modify the setup of the air/gaz mix

[@WineScrounger]

A lot of fuelling systems will have enough margin to deal with that. Sadly this thing got better just by taking the intake snout off.

[@ChrisNieves]

9 years later still a great video.

[@lucamartinelli371]

Push all the air you can in to the intake, if u don't correct the fuel quantity you just gonna make the stoichiometric wrong. And this is true for a real turbo as well, in fact there is no reason of why an electric turbo would not work, until we don't care about the efficiency. Stop to believe everything you see, turn on the brains.

[@zogworth]

Luca Martinelli The charade is probably so shagged it'll run rich as balls anyway.

[@danidaimondzofficial582]

i don't think that small pc fan will push more air in than the intake can suck in normally so imo that thing just restricts air flow

[@brianm.595]

If you were able to change the fuel air mix, you would not see noticable gains still. Turbos and superchargers work by forcing more oxygen into the engine than standard air pressure. The insides of both real devices allow space for pressure to build up and the fans are beefy and usually very precisely constructed to this end. This thing is not going to force very much more than standard air pressure as anything in excess is just going go right back out.

[@FarCryBaby]

@@danidaimondzofficial582 Daihatsu are FAMOUS for SMALL intakes to keep fuel economy their best trait, so OF COURSE Daihatsu is not going to be the best responder to anyone wanting to make more power from a tiny motor ESPECIALLY if it means losing fuel economy along the way
