<VV> Electric Supercharging for Corvairs?

[John Kepler]

"Not recommended"????  Howse about we look at the numbers a little closer.
A 2.7 liter Corvair motor at 3000 RPM is swallowing a whopping
143.024 cubic feet of air per minute.  My 7.5 HP two-stage air compressor
only has 38 CFM free-air capacity....and this "wonder gizmo" is how big and
requires how much power?  It's not going to "mess up" any mixture because
it's unlikely that the carb is even going to notice it's there!

TANSTAAFL boys.....TANSTAAFL!

All it does is provide a boost to air entering the carburator. They
are generic kits that would require you to modify your intake system
prior to the carburator. Reading the literature shows they have you
install a throttle switch that activates the electric fan at full
throttle, so it is not adjustable for anything less than full
throttle.

Since our carburators are made to work at atmoshperic pressures, they
are not pressure carburators, it would mess up  your mixture, etc. Not
recommended.
