If you're that serious about this, buy one of those "electric turbos" on ebay and run that. Its the same principle just an electric motor instead of a gas one.

This versatile and feature-packed Craftsman 2-Cycle Handheld Gas Blower/Vac is a great choice for any yard clean-up. Select between blower and vacuum feature to help you to easily collect and bag fallen leaves and other debris from your yard. With a powerful 25cc, two-cycle engine, the Craftsman 79477 delivers air flow speeds of up to 215MPH making it one of the most powerful blowers in its class.
I hope ur car is going to do 215MPH faster than stock with this.





Seriously, I would put that money on a SC/turbo kit. U could also buy an old shitty civic and put a leaf blower on it. At least ur not gonna waste money on ur cobalt...

You had me at "ok hear me out on this one"

Honestly though,
If you're looking at this as a funny experiment, at lest go with an actual turbo intake coupled with a
High tq DC motor. There are several on eBay.

What made me think it was him is the spare/jack removal in the sig. Nobody else on the site is desperate enough to fill there sig with mods to list that

You do realise that 0-3psi really is not worth the time spent ripping your hair out on this design. Trust me, I am an Enginerd. But if you are going to attempt this, fab up an expansion chamber exhaust from a pocket rocket and get a bigger carb for that 2-stroke. lmao.

For Seen Problems:
1. Those small engines are designed with 1 piston ring, nice for high revving but will wear out rather quickly at 100% load for extended periods of time.
2. Noisy/Ricey as *****!
3. Pull Start rather annoying/will break, trust me.
4. Say you get 3psi boost(being extremely optimistic) that is not going to help much at all.
5. Risk of blowing up fan/impeller and having pieces flying into your engine.
6. Save your dignity! People will hear you coming and say look at this jive turkey.

If you really want boost go M62 or turbo. They are worth it and will bring your car to life! Trust me.

Heres a link to a expansion chamber exhaust:
43cc,47cc,49cc Mini Pocket bike Muffler | eBay
An expansion chamber exhaust is similar to a turbo but for a 2-stroke. When the engine is in a certain rpm range sound waves resonate through the expansion chamber, these said waves force the incoming fuel/air mixture to remain in the combustion chamber instead of creaping directly out of the open exhaust port, which is one of the main downfalls of the 2-stroke design. Why am I so big into 2 cycles? 1. They are easy 2. I mod 2t mopeds...Don't laugh too much, my 50CC does 75mph flat and wheelies lmao.

klotzy, thanks for keepin it real. I appreciate it, really. I also appreciate you sharing knowledge, I didn't know any of that. So again, I thank you for that.

As a reply: I'm not ripping my hair out haha, I go home from KU on the weekends and stay up late with some of my friends. It would just be something to do, with little care if it didn't work.

With the expansion chamber (Is it the same thing as a muffler?), would that go in between the blower and my mass airflow sensor?

Would it be somewhat like this (In order from intake to exhaust):

>Blower
>Expansion Chamber (Such as the one you linked from eBay)
>Intake piping/Tubing With Mass Airflow Sensor in there
>Throttle Body

Also, I'm not exactly worried about the noise either, I don't have a catalytic converter or a resonator, and I have a magnaflow. It's pretty loud 'as is'.

Again, I really appreciate your legitimacy.

Final Consecutive Comment, I promise:

The only reason I would do something like this other than because it's something to do, is (Because Racecar), but because it would be neat to know I did something constructive haha..

Just curious, how would it be destructive? I mean I've done all of my mods to my car myself besides welding my exhaust, and emailing Vince from Trifecta. I'm beyond comfortable with taking my intake and headlights out to test fit. Everything would need to be PERFECT before it goes on my car.. Something I care way too much about.

You care a lot about your car enough but you are going to jerry rig a leaf blower to it to try and get more power?
