Default Leaf blower bolt on Dyno Video lol

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.

LMAO this is great Two questions....

1. How many mph is that leaf blower rated at?

2. How did it affect the a/f ratio?

was thinking the same thing - wouldn't A/F get leaner? oh well, suppose it doesn't matter much


It'd be interesting though for someone to make some sorta mini electric supercharger powered by nitrous that you can turn on or off for when you really wanna get on it. It'd be safer cause worse case scenerio is the nitrous blows up the blower - well i guess if it blows up pieces would go everywhere and possibly damage engine parts/belts etc.

But I mean, that one car did like a 40-50hp improvement which was like a 40% gain in its case.

lol with just the leaf blower the air/fuels where fine honestly richer on the honda because the map sensor was seeing boost or what it thought was boost, the nitrous of course leaned it out a little.
