Default Leaf Blower Bolt on Dyno Video

Okay so let me give you a run down on how this all began we had a 05 Civic SI on the dyno a good buddy of ours after hours here at work, the car was not making much power at all we started by taking the air box off and saw a 1 or 2 hp gain and then stock a fan by it and saw a 3-4hp gain, well then we got to thinking everyone always ask hey would a leaf blower give my car horse power? Well we tried it and it got a little crazy after that check it out.

Haha, cool. I hope you guys had a wideband watching the a/f while you were doing that.

Also, are you gonna drive the car around town with a leaf blower hooked up?!

We really didn't think it would make a difference, but we were bored and decided to give it a shot. Can't believe the difference we got.

The vid gets all jumpy on my computer, how much did the leaf blower make over the 138whp?

That looked like fun.

Yep saw you posted it on MY350Z.com already. Wish it was hosted somewhere better than that crappy streaming video site.

lol, this is priceless

Kinda proof though, roughly how much a good ram air system could help you on the highway. 10 WHP sounds more worthwhile to me!

We're working on getting the video hosted on our own site, but our webmaster is off until tomorrow or the day after.

haha, nice - how fast does the leaf blower you have blow?

we tried this once here with a lexus sc300 but it seemed to overload the stock MAF and the car just died

the map sensor's don't seem to mind in your video

Did you eat paint chips as a kid? j/k

That is some crazy stuff. I think everyone has thought of this at one time or another, it's just that none of us have a dyno AND a leaf blower.

Damn, those run with the nitrous spray is just a disaster waiting to happen. But mad prop to the leaf blower and those innovators.
