Doesn't look like the same car to me.

 

I've seen the second one but not the first one.:eek: Somone post some info on that first car there w/the single gigantico blower.

Supposedly it came off a diesel locomotive but they never said one. The father of the guy that owns the car found it in a junkyard so they decided to throw it on the car for laughs. It actually did run with it, but just blipping the throttle once smoked the head gaskets.

 

It was probably off an EMD 567, trying to find pics to confirm.

maby im outta the loop here but why would you do that? it looks so stupid sticking out over the roof.

 

Its compound supercharging , its mostly a show car thing , but in reality that type of set up can produce alot of horsepower because the top blower pressurizes the bottom blower and makes 20-30 lbs of boost off idle or more if overdriven.

 

Same concept as compounding with turbochargers. In the marine industry the volvo diesals use compounding roots blowers on a/c like clutch compressors with turbochargers taking over at a certain rpm.

 

Not real practical with money.

We've got one of those huge blowers at work! It was part of a compressor set-up to quench tempered glass, but they changed to multiple squirrel-cage blowers a few years back, and it's just been sitting on a pallet ever since, along with a pressure tank and the controls. It would have to move a MASSIVE amount of air, the output tubing is something like 9in in diameter, and the gauges go to 600psi.

don't like the look of it at all Have seen pics of a old Buick GSX that had twin blowers running side by side. One blower for each bank.

 

That car was badass, I remember seeing it in one of my dads car mags when I was younger.
