anyone ever used these things on a jeep 2.5 liter before.seen theme on ebay and was wondering if they work.also seen some cheat pop on chip dohickeys....not sure about it just looking for some insite on if they work.aleady have big air filter,flowmaster installed.
 
This is a joke right?
 
It is Tuesday.....
 
In that case, remove air filter, stick a sock in there, replace air filter, cut the IAT sensor wire, and you will have the same results.
 
There was a recent write up on a 2.5l, to get more out of it with little $ out of pocket. It involved removing your flywheel and having a weight balanced and bolted to it. Kind of a inertia deal, the heavier the flywheel, the momentum it will carry thru the powerband. If your talking about those " electric controlled forcefeeders" on ebay.................................. a super charger not belt driven, or a turbo not having a waste gate, and it being electric driven, which would need varying voltage varying on RPM's, and it doenst, does not sound like a sound decision
 
lol, im picturing a heater box sittin on top of the engine. run air conditioner lines to it and it would be a "cold air intake"too. put the fan switch on the throttle linkage using a coat hanger and you have your varying speed control. i love it:gitrdun:

A R-134 line with a resistor...mo better indeed. I've seen them in many a magazine and alot on Flea-bay. Interesting how they can manipulate young minds into thinking a 12V fan is a "charger" of any type

That is all.

how'd he wire up the fuel for the blowers?

Wire...the fuel? Sounds dangerous, last I checked electricity and fuel don't mix very well:flipoff2:

If you are asking about the throttle for the blowers, they just ran them wide open the whole time. IIRC it made like 1psi over atmosphere at idle and obviously decreased as the rpm climbed, but it was something like a 50HP gain on the bottom end and 25HP gain at the peak.

Black is stock, green is one leaf blower, blue is both leaf blowers, and red is directly dumping nitrous straight out of the hose into the carburetor (no jets)

So judging by that chart, it really does work. I'm sure if you did it with a Stihl BR600 instead of a Craftsman handheld, there might be more substantial gains.

sorry that's what i meant.

They are just using the small plastic premix tanks that are on the blowers. Nothing has changed on the leaf blowers, just hook them up, fire them up, set the throttle to full and drive off. :confused: Still unsure what you mean by your question.
 
For crying out loud. blowers have a small tank, aint gonna do any good when they run outta gas. so why didn't he just run fuel line with a inline pump to feed them fuel? << that's what i meant
 
them leaf blowers aint cheap, and when you add the extra gas and 2 cycle oil and having to take the hood and fenders off yer car to run em and buy super cool leaf blower operatin safety sunglasses and all, ya might as well just buy the real thang.
