Hello,

'bout as effective as those 150 watt screen heaters.... :rofl :rofl :rofl

There is a u tube video with 2 of these in parallel, but that's a lot of amps.

A real compressor will need from 10 to 20 BHP, and generate 1200 litres /min upwards.

The idea is to raise the inlet air pressure by at least 70%, ...

But remember..... :roll:

You can't get something for nothing.

I'm looking at grafting a single point fuel injection system onto a 1 carb Aircooled van engine...

Objective : more power in climbs and better overall fuel management (less pollution and better MPG).

Cordialement,

:ok

quite right.

The petrol T25 already has a high speed inlet pressure raising device... the snorkle that goes up the right hand vent creates a good deal of pressure at higher speeds as the air screams down the vent. My snorkle has been removed as this ability upsets the LPG mixture at high speed

I cant see any mention of this being an active device, (It doesnt seem to have a motor)
I think it just spins in the airflow already generated by the engine sucking in air,
The turbulence created may have a slight effect on combustion efficiency,
The whistling bearing noise may improve some vehicles, but not our rear engined lumps.
