Incredible!! *looks through SVA manual for references to leaf blower*

I would pay £1 million to see someone driving down the M6 with a chap sitting on the wing with a leaf blower stuck in the air intake.
Only 16 and i have already had my midlife crisis

wouldnt it be better if the blower had a intercooler ?

I think it is a bit extreme running a leaf blower on N02!!!!

May seem funny but the leaf blower won't care where it is, as long as the intake pipe is sealed, it can be run from passenger seat
Now, wheres that electric start Briggs and Stratton ?
Switch on dashboard, blower under bonnet, 30hp at the flick of a switch

Ahh All that extra Air and no compensation for the fuel equals a lean mix
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

I was wondering about that. They both made loads more power according to the dyno (thanks to the nitrous rather more than the leaf blower I suspect),
so did their ecus automatically add extra fuel?? an air-flow ecu could compensate for the pressure from the blower but surely not the nitrous??
Closed loop lambda control (thought that only happens at cruise)? Or is it a load of bollox, cos if you can really spray nitrous straight in like
easy-start and make loads of power I wanna play

Nitrous is not used like that in application.
It is injected as a liquid as near as possible to head port. Hence the purge valves to clear a system of gas.
It would add some hp as a gas drawn in but not near as much as liquid nos.
The oxygen release would provide better combustion.
Depends on motor but oxy sensor would detect lean mix and richen the mix as well as acceleration enrichment.

Also contrary to "fast and the furious" stereotypes, nitrous systems inject Nitrous AND fuel together!!!
If they didn't, the engine would be molten in under 5 secs!!!
"Normal" nitrous systems usually use a second fuel pump which is dedicated to the fuel control solonoid, and switches alongside the
nitrous solonoid. The liquid nitrous then impinges on the fuel as they both exit a combined nozzle, thus breaking up the jet of fuel.
The fuel is usually set to achieve a VERY rich mixture whilst injecting nitrous.
Most systems work this way. Sometimes it may be possible to sort the extra fuel via the "std" injeciton system, but most don't have
the capacity to supply 50hp of extra petrol plus the extra needed to richen everything up to give the fuel cooling of the chambers needed to stop
severe detonation..
Nitrous is not acase of bolting a bottle on and off you go, that's just a good way to blow holes in your pistons!
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

They missed a trick. Fit skirts around the car get the leaf blower inlet under there. Free downforce as well as the 'boost'
Engine shouldn't run lean with just the blower if it's got a MAP sensor based ECU (unless it fell off the map). Carbs or TPS ECU would be
bad news obviously.

I know how a proper nitrous system works - that's why i'm wondering where that honda made all that extra power from in the video??? Maybe
that bottle contained a highly dodgy nitrous/fuel mix? Extra injector hidden in the leaf blower?

Power increase from dodgey nitrus...
May have picked up some extra power from the increased charge density cause by the NOXs cooling effect.
The extra power may have actually been limited by the fuel system's ability to deliver.
