okay i was looking at my AC today before i pulled it, would it be possible to use 2 lines one to suck air in and one to put it into the intake to use your AC pump as a supercharger? is the pump able to push air , if so why hasnt anyone done this?

 

The flow is not enough, same thing with an air pump.

 

yeha if it could be done im sure it would of been already

 

I think the A/C pump is optimized for R-12 refrigerant and might not be optimal for pure air. The air pump would be a more logical choice, but as previously stated it woun't push enough air to make a difference.

 

i hear that pumping the cold AC air can give you a good 10-15whp.
on a serious note, that would be about as effect full as paying an asmatic to blow through a straw into the intake pipe.

 

What if I put my air pump from the rex on my 5hp Honda engine? Anybody know the CFM of one of them?

 

haha okay just a idea thought it would be cool

 

haha, i used to wonder if you pumped the cold a/c air right into your intake if it would increase HP enough to make up for the loss of the A/C in the first place.

I do know better than that, it was just a thought.

 

what is the loss from a A/C anyways will i get like 2-3 hp since i pulled mine?

 

you would need to keep it oild and thats pretty much done through the lines. so even if you could hook it up to the intake it would lock up in a bout an hour

 

if you had the compressor on you lost wayyyy more GP than that

 

blinker fluid? good for an extra 15hp.

 

Closing this before it turns into another "airpump as supercharger" topic.
