according to the manufacturer it has a 2" opening and is made for small engines...it only comes on-off,so I think it would need some type of rheostat to regulate the speed of the fan...still seems interesting

Electric supercharger = modified hair dryer garbage. Great for all the Fast & Furious wannabe Ebayers who don't know about forced induction

Hi Take care and ride safely Yours Hank This is the legit way to do a forced induction set up IF the Small GY6 even spools it enough to make any form of boost.

Wow impressive. But one downfall to his idea, pulling fuel through a turbo is a really poor design. Turbo works on exhaust pressure to spin it so no Rpms will equal fuel to puddle in the turbo cold side and starve the engine at cruising speed . This set up is only good for wide open throttle pulls and garantee the engine is rich as hell just to make this work .

actually this is a supercharger,not a turbo,as its forcing air INTO the carb,not forcing mix after the carb...would still need to be speed regulated to achieve the right boost...I think its a pipe dream...but it did get my interest....Jon

I know was talking about the scooter in the video not the "modified hair dryer" idea. Besides a "Blow Thru" design requires modifications to the carb to work correctly which these little 4 stroke carbs can't do due to their design.

The way the carb works, I'm not sure if applying any kind of positive air pressure to the carb would be a good idea. Since the fuel delivery relies on negative pressure across the ventury, if positive pressure was applied, the fuel would not be sucked from the float bowl, in fact air would be pushed into the float bowl through the main jet. I'm pretty sure that only an EFI system could compensate for a forced air set up.

there are a few electric turbos that actually do work. I have seen some that make 2-3 psi of boost. The he one in the posted vid is an actual turbo set up though and appears to be done properly. The electrics work off of a throttle switch and are designed for efi. At WOT your computer will sense the extra airflow and dump more fuel. Not sure how you would tune one for a carb without it being rich all the time. Also the drawback to them is the ungodly current draw they have when they spool up.
