[@dalecole7339]

[@jon2914]

Need a three-way valve so that all of the air goes into the motor. It wasn't a closed system, because the compressed air would just leak out the filter backwards. The dyno graph shows the brief spike, but that's probably due to just more volume of air, but not actual boost pressure.

[@jonw12]

My first thought. I stopped watching when I realized they didn’t use any kind of valve on the filter side. If it was a closed system we would’ve probably seen something grenade.

[@SpenserRoger]

You can buy a kit that uses big ass scuba tanks in your trunk and some big ass valves to make the most power possible out of a motor. Even more power than nitrous as nitrous tends to mess up the burn at high cylinder pressures.

[@floydef8564]

The Y pipe that leads from the pressure supply and the atmospheric supply acts as a boost leak. The pressure should be lead directly into the intake and metering system so that, like a turbo, the air can be accounted for and fueld accordingly as its lead through the only path available. This set up makes the most optimal (lowest resistance) path back out through the air filter to atmosphere. Basically no intake because the air is being supplied and plumb it like a turbo or centrifugal supercharger with a regulator acting as a boost controller by limiting tank pressure to a manageable and unable amount.

[@eugenes9751]

Put a 20psi regulator on the line! That should make it much more consistent and make the air last longer.

[@jarvideoproductions]

Unless I'm missing something, most of the air is probably blowing back out the air cleaner. I'd suggest adding in a check valve at the air cleaner and a blow off valve just before the intake. That way most of all the boost will make it into the carb.

[@CueBace]

Lab coat Ron's pocket game is STRONG!

[@od7421]

This shows some solid promise on the potential in the compressed air tanks. Run the tanks to their rated pressure (likely around 200psi) with a regulator to restrict the airflow into the engine. This will get you more time on compressed air without additional tanks. Brad needs to give the carb a decent tune as it bogs down even in the baseline (no added air) mode.

You have the world's biggest blowoff valve (aircleaner inlet), and it's always open. So, yet again, you have CFM but almost no PSI at the intake manifold.

[@wonkybomb1865]

Without a one way valve after the air filter most of that pressure is just going to go out of the air filter just saying. The reason it works with a turbo is because the turbo is forcing the compressed air only one way through the intake. Your setup is going to allow the air to take the path of least resistance which is out of the air filter instead of staying compressed.
