    It has when avgas made the comparison with the effect of ram-air at 100km/h occurring at 10km/h, thereby insinuating that there was a noticeable improvement.

    My argument is, in this instance, on the effect of ram-air at 100km/h.

    Like I said. Not exactly earth shattering performance. But essentially if you do it right what is the difference between and mechanical drive and an electric one.
    But fuck paying $180 for that. Set of iridium's and a remap would give you much larger performance boosts.....easy.

    But if your ever wondering what to do with an old hairdryer chassis and a grunty electric motor.......

    I'll tell ya what not to do with an electrical appliance...years ago a mate of mine dropped a nut into his inlet manifold of his CF Bedford.

    Thought he was a clever cunt using his girlfriends brand new Electolux vacuum cleaner to suck it out.

    The fuel vapours turned that puppy into a huge hand grenade and blew the fucking thing to bits.

    We were still pissing ourselves 3 hrs later. She failed to see the funny side of it.

    Another fun thing do to with old vacuum's is to remove the fan from it.
    The motor then spins a full speed until it self destructs.

    Hmmm fun things to do with a vacuum cleaner ........


    I'm going to get one of those SuperTurbos(TM) for my lawn mower - I am however going to have to get some carbon fiber bits too to offset the additional weight of adding a battery to spin the turbine.

    And maybe some full synthetic oil to help cope with the extra power.

    F-me my lawns will be done in no time!

    Chevanne engine was 1.2 litre IIRC. So at even a nice low 2000 rpm the airflow is around 1800 litres/minute. Must have been one hell of a hair dryer...
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    Save the weight of the racing stripes and just get a red coloured one, red is always faster.

    the theory is sound i reckon, the design and construction ain't however! 0.2hp to drive the sucker, think your average supercharger will take 10-20% of the engines hp to run it, so i think avgas comparison of this to ram air at 100kmhr is pretty apt. Both do a tiny bit in theory, but both do fuck all in practice

    Course if you buy it in red it'll do fuck all plus 10%
