Even without Nitrous I can just pump 100+ psi of air at the push of a button through the system. Even if you can turn off the blower it will put less restriction on the air intake flow because all it is is a little nozzle vs. a fan (when it is not activated)
What's wrong with this picture?
Who would ever have thought an ERAM could develop 100+ psi of air.
Here's a quizz. If you could actually pressurize a 2.5L intake to 100psi, what would the effective displacement of the engine be, or in other words, how "big" would a naturally aspirated engine have to be to consume the same mass of air/fuel mixture? Go ahead and assume room temperature air for this fantasy engine.
How about at 6 and 9 and 12 and 15 psi (practical pressures)?
What if the pressurized air is at 200 Farenheit? as opposed to 100 deg F for naturally aspirated?
I'll post some answers if no one else does.
