has anyone else found an article online talking about turning 3 or 4 smog pumps into a supercharger? i read one last night that said by hooking up 3-4 smog pumps in a series that it would produce around 4-6lbs of boost. the author of the article said he had done this on a few cars but mainly on bikes. Just wondering what everyone on here would have to say about it?

 

do you have a link to the article?

 

probably would work decent on a 3hp briggs&stratton,
but nowhere near enough volume to use on any 3rd
gen engine-i don't think you could fit enough smog
pumps under the hood,no to mention the drive problems
Some vane type superchargers were used back in
the flathead ford era,but i havent seen any modern
vane type superchargers(not to be confuzed with
centrifugal superchargers)

 

that's some funny stuff there. I bet if you grabbed 4 trans pumps you could make more psi

 

im calling complete b.s. on that one. it'd look to rediculous too.

 

http://www.turborick.com/dirt.html here is a link. It would look ridiculous with a ton of junk under the hood. just thought id see what everyone else thought of this.

 

Id have to try it to believe it. i dont have a project car to try it on. and even at that 4-6 of them for a smaller v8 is just not feasible IMO

 

I,ve got some smog pumps for sale, you wanna buy 'em? LMFAO, what next?? Maybe AC compressors, hairdryers, I have some of those too....

 

only valid use heard of, is a scavange/vacuum pump plumbed backwards to pull gasses out of an engine, caue an electric pump to do that for you is $$$$$ racer stuff.

 

Ok this sounds interesting. Just reverse the hoses or what?

 

some ford trucks had the inlet on the top just hook the hose to valve cover. need a good separator, oil in the smog pump leads to a quick death. vanes are made from composite material

 

I got a .10 by using 4 of them

 

How is availablility cost of multiple turbochargers gotten from a bone yard. Like from smaller domestic or foreign cars?

 

Smog pumps.. WTF....you can also run a hose from the interior to your intake and get someone to blow into it as you accelerate...should be good for about 2PSI, until they pass out
