I was searching on Ebay for TRD superchargers for the 1zzfe and going that route for FI. I then came a cross ducted fan design for an electric supercharger. I realize that the one for sale was a total piece of crap and not worth the plastic it was make of but it got me thinking. I think that it would be possible to make a I.F. design using a ducted fan from a remote control air plane. I think this would be the best possible marriage of technology and our cars you could make a completely custom boost profile. Full or partial boost at any RPM not dependent on engine speed or load. I am thinking of make prototype of one for my car but I don't know a lot of information. I think I would use a PFC to control the fuel and timing and for the time being make a liner boost profile using some sort of co-processor or something. I still have to find out how much flow I need to create enough boost I am thinking 5 PSI for now. I think it would be a safe amount of boost and then could be scaled up. Unfortunately, the ducted fans used in remote control air planes are measured in pounds or kilograms of thrust. I wonder if there is someway to convert pounds of thrust to CFM or liters per minute. I am looking for thoughts and ideas all are welcome. My intent is not to hurt the car or decrease it's reliability or damage it in anyway.
