New Idea for a Supercharger~turbo??
Ok. stupid *** thought i'm prolly gonna get flamed for this one.
Why not get an old vaccum cleaner-one that sucks really hard and modify it to go where the intake goes? i know this is totally stupid but.... maybe it would work? (prolly not but i'm curious)
I have an old kirby vacum cleaner and it sucks like a ****. If i could strip down the housing for the motor and plop it on the intake tube wouldn't that push more air through the manifold pretty good? I know this is stupid but hey i'm just curious if i ever get a new vaccum and a new engine strictly to play on. anybody think it's possible to squeeze a few more HP out of this perhaps?

This reminds me of the old "smog pump supercharger" thing. Unless the motor is INCREDIBLY strong, it won't do anything. Now, if you wanted to attach an air-compressor....

Ok that's a better idea. anybody else build off that? Yeah but the smog pump was a stupid idea. how could a vacum cleaner engine be worse that that? HAHAHA

Opinions are like........
Vacuum/leafblower/model R/C electric jet/..... are always up on ebay. Why not advertise your vacuum as a SC on ebay and let someone else be the fool? Think of the money you can make.

I will say this though: It's better that you are thinking of how you can improve things rather than just buying **** off the shelf... That's how new products are created. Keep the hamster spinning the wheel!
