Electric blower install

[sellery]

I bought an electric blower that spools up to 20,000 rpm in 1/10 th of a sec, and will create about 3-5 # of boost. I am going to plumb into my stock air box and have activated with button at WOT. How can I trick my stock ECU into adding more fuel at top end? must I install a PCU 3 or 5 in order to do this? Anyone tried this on an apex? this going on a 2008 Apex ltx, trail studs, 1" ripsaw, anti ratchet drivers, stock clutching, with exhaust mods. Any advice appreciated

Do it just like the YanCharger, just run a hose from the air box to the barometric pressure censor. Be sure to remount the censor up high so condensation does not collect at the censor. It just fools the system to thinking you are running at lower elevation (more air). I don't know if the stock system will fuel for 3 LB + but I think you will be doing good to come up with 3.
Otherwise some of the Turbo guys may be able to point you to a fuel controller that will add fuel on demand.

What I am curious about is what that blower is going to draw for amps? Do you think your electical system will be able to withstand running that alot?
Also, There are three breather tubes that run into your stock air box. I would make sure you plug those hoses on the air box side and install some kind of breather filter on the ends of the breather hoses.

Is this real?

like you see on youtube with a leaf blower on a truck?

or is it like the tornado fan they use to sell?

Thanks all, still a bit confused. I am going to be pressurising the stock box through the 3 intake vents. Where do I run a tube from? and which sensor is the one I am trying to fool? This is a small blower motor designed for cars/trucks that runs directly off the battery for short bursts (<10sec)

Isnt the barometric pressure sensor already in the stock airbox? What good would it do to run a hose to it from the air box? maybe I am looking at the wrong sensor? The one I see is at top right when looking at the machine from the front facing the back

No it is not in the air box or it would not be censing true baro pressure due to potential vacuum.
It I rumember correctly it is by the ignition box in front and under the air box.
It's a small black plastic piece with a nipple on it that can have a hose plugged on to it.
The censor in the left side of the air box (siting on the sled) with wire's to it is the temp censor.
I will check G-Force YamCharger install instruction's to try to get a better reminder of where it is.

If you google G-Force Division, click on the YamCharger install and scroll down till it talks about the Barometric pressure censor you will see a picture of it. It is bolted to the ECM bracket. It gets relocated up on the head light bracket later in the install of the YamCharger.
You would need to get a hose from the air box somehow to the censor so it will cense the pressure inside the air box instead of atmosphere.

One more thing to think about is G-Force had a problem with there first air box design. At two psi it was flexing the plastic air box to the point that they all cracked and broke, they had to go with thicker plastic and reinforce the box with a truss so it wouldn't flex. I think even 2 psi in the stock air box will be problem's. Not trying to discourage you but it could be an issue.

Thanks kviper, I may tackle it this weekend, and let you know how it works. I wondered about the stock airbox, will try and see, maybe jimmy some reinforcement?

Good luck, I will be watching!

What is the make and model of electric supercharger? I haven't seen one work yet and that one needed WAY more battery then is possible to carry on a sled.

That's what I was questioning. I would have to figure a large enough electric blower needed to make boost would draw too many amps on the system and just kill the stator/battery.
I would get into the power requirements before attempting install.

Check out the website. It was actually a pop up add on this website (Totallyamaha)

currious how this went? any updates?
