Now all u have to do is re-route the intake into the cabin and have a leave blower around the passenger and u are ready to go lol....

[exhausted mules]

makes me wonder why they never used an actually electrical motor for forced induction as opposed to to a conventional turbo.


wouldn't it be easier to tune or modulate?

all that is doing is acting in for speed while moving, yes a leaf blower holds a mph say 100mph so under that speed is forcing air but its just like driving down the road without the drag on the car.

no, unless the civic has a radically new intake system, id say there are very few cars with ram air intakes.

Well, the leaf blower is an external engine. Something like that integrated into the car would always cost more power than it generates.
