Danzetec Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 You may of often pondered what kind of power increase would you expect with a leaf blower rammed down your intake pipe Well ponder no more!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cargy Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I'm off to B&Q All I need is an extension lead long enough to reach Santa Pod and I'm sorted I wonder if the punters knew their pride and joy was being used for experimanetaion? Looking at the honder test, there's lots of over the shoulder looking. As if they are keeping an eye out for the owner! Who knows? But damned good fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig855S Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 okay increase there,altho very dangerous due to the definately lean running, and u wouldnt want the engine to blow with all that nitrous being sprayed into the air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Impressive but a leaf blower engine isnt meant for that sort of prolonged use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat.Knott Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Impressive but a leaf blower engine isnt meant for that sort of prolonged use i would dissagree with that, the one they using can be using as a blower or a vac and so is fine being used flat out for a while...

white_van_man Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 anyone seen those electric turbo things made from hairdrier motors? some normally on ebay.com they are a pile of crap, but that leafblower test definately impressed me, how that could be rigged up to a car properly i don't know but it would be cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyC[GB] Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 PMSL @ Chappers Look at the black smoke ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutty2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Lots of black smoke from the mercs! Does anyone know the sound track to that vid? I think its prodigy but cant be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattrxcool Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Its prodigy - spitfire. Leaf blower vid is interesting but couldn't see any kind of long term setup with it. As for the diesel turbo vid, impressive performance but the smoke . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluliz Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 the black smoke is unburnt diesel iirc. The black merc is hectic.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
