Took a tranny to the shop to be tested today (it's on the way Jeremy) and there was a Contour there with the riciest supercharger I've ever seen.

The car was totally riced, one of the worst hatchet jobs I've ever seen, but the tech told me to look at the motor.

This is true, I wish I had a picture....

The guy had a vaccum cleaner motor hooked into his intake, just above the MAS, and a little mercury switch on the TPS so when he went WOT, the mighty kirby (or was it an Oreck, I don't know) kicks in....

I only wish I could meet this engineering genius.


Ken Belle? Works Power? Eaton? Nah mano, thats a HOOVER!!!!

You have got to be kidding

You should have gotten a pic

 

Haaaaa!!!!

It would be interesting to find how many cfm that little hoover can puff. That dumbass had to feel the drag that it caused!

 

 

people amaze me sometimes.....

 

What was that guy smoking.

Maybe he should past it around.

 

Heh ive seen a leaf blower hooked up to a v6 mustang before

 

hell, at least a leaf blower moves more air....

 

 

do they have air compressors hook up to instakes?

like goto home depot and get a air compressor and juice it up then give a good shot of air into intake for a little bit?

 

ugh, god...ive seen people selling those fake *** look like a a/c blower motor on ebay as electric s/c...ghey...

 

We've talked about using compressed air. The short answer is: no, it won't work.

Mickey Thompson had a fuel funny car in the early 70s with 2 giant oxygen bottles and no supercharger. It had a regulator on the bottles. The tech people got nervous and the car was parked after very few runs. I think that it was driven by Jake Johnson. Last I heard the car was parked in a wholesale hardware wherehouse in Long Beach Ca. Skip

 

Oh, now I see why, they're having a sale at Hoover!!!
