To operate effectively, they would need to draw crazy amperage, drawing more horsepower than they'll make. The conversion from hp, to amps, back to hp will never work as efficiently as a conventional csc, s/c, or turbo. _____________________________ Kyle- 04 Rainier My Restoration Projects Please Do Not PM for Tech Help (in reply to jazzguitar) Post #: 4

RE: what do you guys think about this? - 10/8/2006 5:11:00 PM    EkStreem G Posts: 234 Joined: 7/23/2006 Status: offline You could do that, but what he meant is that, there is only so much those electric motors can take until they just burn into a little ball of melted plastic _____________________________ 2003 Xtreme Blazer 4.3L A/T Summit Wht/Graphite 3.42/Non-Posi. :{ LS1\T56 Swap Coming Soon My Space (in reply to jazzguitar) Post #: 10

RE: what do you guys think about this? - 10/8/2006 5:18:34 PM    swartlkk Posts: 14528 Joined: 5/1/2005 From: Waterloo, NY Status: offline Not to mention that the kit in the link is a glorified bilge pump from a boat or other such application. They are NOT meant for automotive air induction use. I highly doubt that they would be able to create a static dead-head pressure of 1psi on their own, let alone 1psi on an engine that normally pulls -10psi during normal operation. Now in a perfect world, our 4.3L engines injest 0.1518531cu.ft. of air per 2 revolutions of the crank. So at 2000rpm, we are flowing ~152CFM of air. Now at 5000rpm, that balloons to 760CFM. Now due to pumping losses, pressure differentials, etc, we do not flow that much air, but... Now I stated this just to let you know what kind of flow is required. Something like that could NEVER supply that kind of volume. It would only end up as a restriction. _____________________________ Kyle- 04 Rainier My Restoration Projects Please Do Not PM for Tech Help (in reply to EkStreem G) Post #: 12

RE: what do you guys think about this? - 10/8/2006 6:17:08 PM    EkStreem G Posts: 234 Joined: 7/23/2006 Status: offline Lol. No prob. Cheap performance mods? Unless it is used stuff or crappy stuff, cheap and good performance mods are hard to find. Intake, headers, exhaust, and reprogram ecu: i'd say about $1500. But, it's a great way to start getting some GRUNT out of these underpowered Blazers. < Message edited by EkStreem G -- 10/8/2006 6:18:11 PM > _____________________________ 2003 Xtreme Blazer 4.3L A/T Summit Wht/Graphite 3.42/Non-Posi. :{ LS1\T56 Swap Coming Soon My Space (in reply to jazzguitar) Post #: 14
