It’s time to re-plumb the leaf blowers, add a pair of turbos to the caboose along with maybe a second blower, and cram all that boost down the Monza’s throat. If you really want to go crazy you add some boost producers to the Monza’s engine as well.
Them playing with the ball valve turned blow off valve turned intake is one of the most entertaining things I have seen in a while.

Throw on two 67 trim eBay turbos as well. All the boost.

This is roadkill. I fully expect them to use Semi-truck turbos.

And a 200 shot, just because why not.

I loved it when he was like “put your face by the valve”.

No joke about 5 seconds before they cut to that scene I thought to my self “Wait a second, wheres the intake?”

I wonder if you could make a turbine by just pumping NOS into a hot turbo?

I was a little disappointed that they got an engine, a trailer and all the necessary jive just to produce 7 lbs. You could have gotten 7 lbs out of a lawnmower engine with that compressor. Throw it in the trunk. But I guess its not as fun to saw as “boost caboose”

Wait. So you know how Colin Furze makes DIY pulse-jets? They should make an enormous one, and bolt it onto a rolling Fiero space frame. 1800 lbs or so, and pulse-jet powered.

What they should have done since they didn’t have to drive a car with that engine is load it right to the verge of stalling with superchargers.

something more than a 7 psi procharger...anything. 2 of them? a roost and a procharger?

yeah, genuinely disappointed here too. with an engine whose ONLY JOB, is to spin the supercharger, and all you are going to TRY to get out of it is 7 psi.......... *shakes head. plus the HACK assembly of plumbing. they let me down, and not in a good way........

I thought they missed a golden opportunity here. They should have used the boost to increase the output on the leaf blowers to increase the output of the engine.
I thought it was quite wasteful, too. Using a whole engine to power that tiny little supercharger? Making it a “hybrid” with an electric motor, batteries, and solar panels would have been hilarious.
