It appears to me that the blowers are mostly there for bling bling as when he revs the motors, none of the butterflies open. I don't know alot about blower operations so chime in with any corrections you may have.

so does that mean you could put that in front of a jet and run something along the lines 4A or 5A impeller?  Probably have to have a billet steel housing and bowl!

In reading the comments on that video, they said that the real supercharger was under that big center section. That's why it didn't matter if the butterflies moved or not. But the bling effect is still way cool! clap.gif

lol @ some of the comments.

"And where did anybody give you the idea that anybody gives a shit about the fact that they're old technology? People are still building chevy 350's and they're pushrod engines from the 50's, and yet, people still build them. Do you seriously think that somebody putting a 24v71 into a truck gives a flying fuck about it's fuel economy?"

:grin:

Diesel rpm is controlled with fuel flow, not air flow. As far as I know. No thottle body blades...

Exactly Duane. The blower in the center that is doing the work is just to force in on these 2 cycle diesels. No  crazy.gif    bling.gif.  but looks kool. That was an industrial engine. Different size engines up to V8's were common in trucks. V 12's were not as common but did make it in trucks.
