    Will this work as a Turbo?

    as some of youz know, i have a SRi barina for my firzt car. I'm wantin to get heapsa powar outta it and im thinkin along the turbo linez. thinkin puttin in a turbo style fan inside my air intake pipez and when the air gets sucked in it willz spin around and then coz itz spinnin right, it'll suck in more airz like a turbo. anyone done thiz? my mate reckons ill be able to getz it up to about 120kwz doin this without the airfilterz... what youz think?

    been tried before and doesn't work. the engine sucks more air then the fan can actually make.

    also its not about air flow (CFM) its to do with air pressure (PSI) and a fan doesn't compress air.

    Sorry to ruin your hopes champ.

    a rolls royce RB211 could possibly work, or maybe a cfm56. GE and pratt and whitney might also have options but they're more common in the US

    that's probably the size of fan you'll need
