can i use Makita electric dust blower that Supplies 2.8 cubic meters of air per minute at 18000 rpm and if it’s not enough i can join two of them, can that give me horsepower gain like turbocharger.
If it’s possible then how many horsepower that two blowers can produce on E36 M3 3.2L 318 HP engine?
If it’s not possible then why it can’t gain horsepower like turbocharger and what’s the difference in the air flow specification between turbocharger and electric dust blower, i know the mechanism of the turbocharger well but i’m asking about what’s advantages in the air produced by turbo that is not found or low in blower like low rpm, low psi or low air flow of the blower cause it useless to make real gain in horsepower.
actually i’m looking for about 50 HP or more by the two electric dust blowers can it achieve that?
sorry for my many questions but i really hope to find answers for it all.

Well, the short answer is no. The leaf blower provides a steady flow at a constant rate. Your engine however, does not work with a steady flow of air. This is why superchargers and turbos are powered by the engine’s output. The blower could in theory raise horsepower by lowering the engine’s felt intake restriction, but it would be at the cost of the added weight of the blowers and increased load on the alternator that is powering said blowers. Another thing to consider is the likelihood of burning out the motors in the blowers, since they will be unable to self cool with a high volume of air when your vehicle is at part throttle. Similar things however are in existence and more info can be found at http://www.electricsupercharger.net/
What you are proposing is not easily possible, as the dust blower is powered by 110 vac and your car runs on 12 vdc. In order to power up the motor you would have to first wire in a voltage converter and then connect the blower motor to this.
A much easier way is to buy an electric supercharger that is designed for your car, they make them-really.
Yes, you can but it will interfear with the computer mass flow sensor..
They sell a electric turocharger on Jc-whitney.com
But you need to change the chip on the computer.
not sure but you could go to the nearest garage and ask them.
can you answer mine pleasehttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;…
these answers and many like them are better left unanswered/ get back to you matchbox racers and dont worry about your leaf blowers/ thats why they call them leaf blowers -they blow leaves
BOY IS THAT A GOOD QUESTON!
