Electric turbo question

is it worth putting a 250 cfm electric turbo on my 86 na and use it for rpms above 3800k (thinking it will help better when all 6 ports are open. also to keep torque threw higher rpms). do u guys think this will work and is it worth it? thanks.
ps. i alrdy have the turbo.

Electric turbo? I cannot be held responsible for what is about to follow. I also could not leave it in the New Member tech section because, after 200 posts, you really should not be posting questions in there anymore.

Technically it could work but 250cfm (and I doubt it even flows that) won't make much of a difference on a rotary, and I wonder what kind of pressure ratio it can even produce. That's only about 17 lbs/min anyway

Do you have a link to this electric turbo? Now I want to put one on my modded 2 cylinder Briggs and Stratton lawnmower

Slimming down the wallets of the naive pretty much covers it. Low-cost electric blower, marketed as a low cost, (but substantially marked-up) electric turbo.

Hard to see how the heater blower in the pic could be anything but an obstruction in the intake. 90* change of direction, almost certainly can't blow as fast as the engine can suck at anything over low rpms.
