    What happens when you turbo a Harley-Davidson with a leaf blower? We made the cheapest motorcycle turbo and then we installed the most expensive turbo kit on our Harley. So does a homemade electric leaf blower turbocharger work, or do you need to shell out a couple thousand dollars for a Trask Performance Turbocharger?

    Use a gas leaf blower through the carb... and a shop vac hooked to the exhaust using a piece of heater hose. For a little extra kick, replace the line spindle on a weekeater with a 27 tooth sprocket and engage the drive chain midway between the front and rear sprockets...it can also be adapted to assist the primary....that's the hot setup for Harley lawn drags anyway.

      @@nemphis95 There are no mods that can give you torque without giving you power. That's just physically impossible.
      If you have a motor that puts out 100Nm at 1000RPM, that's 10.47kW.
      Now if you modify that engine so that it produces 150Nm at that same 1000RPM, that engine now produces 15.71kW.
      If you have 2 motors, one that produces 100Nm at 1000RPM, and one that produces 10Nm at 10,000RPM they both produce 10.47kW. Send that 10,000RPM through a 10:1 gear reduction, and you have 1000RPM and instead of 10Nm you'll have 100Nm. But it's still 10.47kW.
      However if you want more torque at that 1000RPM, you are going to have to put in more power.
      Like if you swap a turbo on an engine for one that spools up more quickly, pushing peak torque to a lower RPM, it may not have to affect peak power of the engine, it might even decrease it. But at those lower RPMs where you now have increased torque, you will also have increased power.
      However you have to keep in mind that the figures given to us for an engine are peak figures. It's peak torque and peak power and those are rarely at the same RPM. Generally speaking the power produced at peak torque is going to be less than the peak power the engine can produce.

    Greetings from Melbourne, Australia. In these troubling times, thanks for one of the funnest videos I've ever seen to make a leaf blower happy. But did you see it's green light turn red when it knew you where taking it off. I'm certain from this day forth it will refuse to blow your footpath clear. ;-)

So that road king is like a new bike... lol.. mine still looks brand new as well.. riden almost daily... anyway, just had hype myself up... thanks, I feel so much better....lol... one a more positive note, you guys just gained a new subscriber. Peace!

    I’m not an expert on leaf blowers, that being said I don’t think they actually compress air like a blower or turbo.

  • @docgiggles130

    Roadkill did the leaf blower thing years ago. They were able to do it, but it took more blowers than they thought they needed. After they had fun with the 15minute runs with the leaf blower batteries, they ended up with a trailer that had an air compressor running on a V8.

    The problem with the leaf blower is the inducer and housing isn't designed to build pressure. Electric turbos work (for short pulls before the separate charging system needs to pull power from the stator) if done correctly.

    I don't know why so many people think this kind of thing will work. Leaf blowers are not compressors; they are just fans. They don't build pressure, which is what you need inside an engine to make "boost". Hook that little gs motor to an actual compressor and then it could work, but not with just a fan.

    I test drove a Wide Glide at Appalachian Harley for about 20 min.
    Had to play with the choke the whole time.
    Brought it back and told them they need to go over it before they send it out.
    Instead of saying, okay, they said, it takes a Harley a while to warm up.
    Needles to say I didn't buy a bike from them.

    Well your sharp 90° turns may have played a part in how things worked out with the leaf blower. I'm not saying it will work as good as an actual turbo but the leaf blower supercharger thing does work if done properyly, especially on engines under 4 liters.

    I want to start riding but there is no way i could ever scrape up even a couple thousand for a bike. The cars i drive are like £1000 cars that i have for one or two years.
    Do you think i would be able to find a bike for similar? Like £1000 maximum?

    Pro charger air to air intercooler. Blower kit. For Harley DAVIDSONs up to 140 horse on stock engine ...trask is most definitely a solid aftermarket power solution. Not a fan of turbos.. around 5 grand I believe. If your gona do it.. I think the blower set up looks way cooler. Just my opinion.. thank you !!

    1 is not enough you need 3 or 4 of them to make any noticeable difference could put 1 in each saddle bag link them all to the same switch and try bigger jets as well more air needs more fuel

    HD injection systems don't have a way to directly measure how much air is entering the engine. So, the leaf blower doesn't work. It does work on modern FI cars as they do have mass air sensors.

Plan is to fly in to where you guys are and try to buy something for around 5k USD. Gonna be a while though, need to wait til after the pandemic. But I won't buy a bike off anyone else, has to be from you. Love your work, GB and stay safe.
