Home Designed Forced Air Induction???
Hey, I just replaced my AIR pump a while back, only to find out that I dont need it...lol
Ive got a question. If I take the hose, and route it to my intake, would I have a little bit of boost? just a little? like just 1-2 PSI or so?
I know the little sucker does move a decent amount of air, nothing amazing, but a decent amount...
I could devise a way to incorporate the hose into the rubber power tunnel i got. Its thicker than stock. And have it aiming some what at the TB Blades..?
My question is, would it build any pressure, or just go out the airfilter...? Would it be cooler air? at all?

I think it would be like propeling yourself w/ a hair dryer.
It sounds good, but just won't work.....
Take back the air pump, and get yourself a BPP eliminator pulley and Vortex Rammer! :thumbs:

To get any noticeable boost by putting more air in the engine, you will need an air punp that will move over 500 cubic feet per minute of air at some appreciable pressure. The device that does that will be the size of a turbo charger or supercharger. It will look and cost just like one :shocked:

Yep, it's all about volume of air moved and that means increasing intake pressure with the capacity to push a lot of air.
The AIR pump just wasn't designed to do that job. But if you want to try it, do NOT pipe it in after the air filter. If you get debris into the intake you could be in for some serious repair bills.
