Okay well i was at work a couple days ago, when i was working with a guys bilge blowers (Fountain 38') i got an idea. What if i was to take a marine bilge blower and run it inline with a 3-4inch hose. This hose would go from some were cooler like the fender wall to my air box. Right now i have a K&N CAI with a modified airbox. The total cost with insulation, blower, hose, and a dash switch would be about $30. It would move close to and extra 250cfm of cold air. So is it worth a shot???

These are on eBay all the time as "Electric Turbo!!!!".
Won't work. Sorry. It won't add near enough pressure or CFM to do anything other than restrict the air intake and hurt milage.
Keep the bilge blowers on the boats and jet-skis.
Even leaf blowers cannot keep up to the engines air demands. lol

I'm talking about just adding it to the air box not replacing the current location. I would be adding it to the box on the back side. Just so I have more cooler air being pulled into the air box.
