Leaf Blower on Dyno - 6G Celicas Forums
that's awesome...lol
just blow some air in there, then blow some NOS in

well it is kind of like a turbo.. except less high tech. I am very impressed with the hp increase... average 200mph blower costs what? like 100 bucks... have the system hooked up:
electric blower, powered by 12v, converted to 110.. mounted somewhere under the hood... pop a hole in the hood for the blower, hook everything up and have double air intake. regular for street riding and that special power upgrade activated by a lever or something...
the only question is .. how safe is it for the engine?
final result.. +15hp without nos for no more than 250 bucks

My uncle actually did this on his race car. He raced stock car. He won a lot with it too. I thought it was common knowledge that this actually worked. The only thing I would worry about is hitting to high boost with one of these things. You could easily set it up on a car for every day driving and hook it up to a full throttle nitrus switch for when you wanted that extra power. I think we'll see this pop up on here now, at least I hope to see it.

Why? It'll work on a beater or just for fun. I wouldn't do this to a car that I really wanted to keep running right but it does work, and it works well for the price. We're talking maybe $70 for the blower, and maybe $20 for a filter or whatever, and possable $20 in piping. And those are high estimates. That's $110 for maybe 20hp. So, around 5.50 per hp. Pretty cheap.

dude manny you know my car.....it doesn't matter lol
i would think that it would hurt the engine because a turbo pushes according to the exhaust. what if you had the blower on full blast when you were hardly moving. the engine woulnt be taking all that air and the pressure may harm it. i might do it though, with a beater.

guys, you really have GOT TO BE KIDDING.
do you REALLLLLLY thing your gonna get 20hp outta this thing???
comeon, lets walk on back to reality land, here.

this thing is such a joke, its like the biggest ricer mod on the planet...right up there with type R emblems, and fart can exhausts..IMO

hmm maybe if you install it on a turbo car, you can get rid of the turbo lag. You should try it out pressure2.

If you were to rig this up all you need is an exhaust valve or basically a wastegate to push the excess air out when at idle, it would be cool to see what it can do but I wouldn't want to drive down the street sounding like a leaf blower, people would be running for cover.

Guys, this is why I say put in on a togel switch. You only turn it on at so many rmp. Seriously though, my uncle did do this to his stock car, and it actually gave him a pretty good edge. There's no way you'd get the same effects as a turbo though. You just couldn't unless you had one heck of a strong leaf blower. Or wate a second, 2 of them. Now there's a mixure to blow the motor.

if ur gettin that much more hp, then i dont think it's "ricer" just keep ur hood closed... someone do it, dyno it and time the 60, 1/8, 1/4 before and after
-dustin15brown+Sep 13, 2005 - 9:16 PM
Exactly, there is a difference between Ghetto and ricer. I think the term ricer should be banded from these forums by the way. Ghetto fabulouse. I think that's a song or something.

IMO, the difference between Ghetto and Ricer is Ricer is something you shouldn't do because its looks tacky. Ghetto is something you shouldn't do because its the wrong way to modify or maintain your vehicle and can compromise vehicle performance or reliability. This ill-conceived idea is both.

I agree with you.. Getto is like the use of duck tap to repair cars, scotch tape car alarm installs, that sort of thing.
Ricer is like installing a 6 inch exhaust on a luxury car, or installing something that affects the performance of the car in a negative way just to gain "cool points".

Anyone notice how the people most against this are the guys with turbo's? Gelousy is a hard thing to over come. You guys just wish you thought of this before you spent all that money on a swap or turbo. lol

if i had a beatup, like almost dead, MR car like a MR2 or a fiero, id probably try this 'mod' for fun, itd probably be alot easier to do with those 2 cars because the bonnet is decently low, so you could put it on top, and its behind you too, so you can actually see where you're going. i wonder if you could rig a gas powered leafblower to your throttle cable and to your fuel tank.
as for ghetto and rice, i usually think ghetto is something done without quality, and rice is something that does next to nothing, and is mainly for looks.

thank you that is all.....
can i get 6gc plaque? honestly...biggest ricer award or sumthing?
Maybe my definition of ricer is way off. This doesn't seem rice at all to me. Seriously, can we ban this word from the site? Make it like a curse word or something. It starts a little more trouble than it's worth I think.
Playr, I'd give you and award for biggest ricer on here any day. Glad to see your proud of it. It makes it somewhat cool for some reason.
I use duck tape all the time. Duck tap and zip ties. I not living on a high bugget here. I guess you could have called my old car the Impulse a ricer if you broaden the term like that. It had duck tape on it and zip ties. But, it also had a header with open exhaust, cams, pistons, ingectors, ecu upgrade, cai, complete gutted intior, exc. It was fast and all H. I bet it would have been called a ricer in a second. I called it a race car. It didn't have a leaf blower on it, but it was looked into for fun.

Yeah a leaf blower is ghetto, but it works, plus you're talking what up to four psi of boost, IMO it would still sound funny going down the road but the fact is something so practical will give you horsepower and in the Celica that's difficult to do. I remember an episode of Mythbusters where they made a sealed container and used a leaf blower to mimic the pressure inside a skyscraper and it built about 4-5 psi so a quility blower could easily mimic the effect of a supercharger or turbo, only thing is having to relieve the pressure when the throttle is closed and build it back up when the throttle opens again.
