I don't see anything amazing about that. The leaf blower isn't actually pressurizing the intake. It's just adding air to it. You would see the same effect by either driving it with the intake open in the same way, or with a fan in front of it. The nitrous is even more irrelevant. The engine is obviously going to make more power with nitrous being sprayed into it. If you take the leaf blower out of the equation and just spray the bottle into the intake, as long as you get the same amount of n2o into the engine, you will make the same amount of power.

the leaf blower IS pressurizing the intake. Perhaps not into a positive value, but it's doing work.

Any form of forced induction deals in absolute pressure. At rest, the atmosperic pressure is 14.7psi. An engine will create vacuum while it runs. Any turbocharger creating 15 lbs of usable boost is actually pressurizing 14.7psi + 15psi = 29.7psi.

Even if the leaf blower is only serving to reduce the amount of vacuum present in the inlet tract while still remaining below a positive pressure value, it's helping elminiate the losses present from the piston having to suck air in by itself. Yes it is very possible, it may have created that kind of power.

the other option is they lied and that's an RSX Type S with a VTEC controller, which dynoed only on the small cam initially and was switched to allow the larger cam to come on boil... since 180-ish whp is approximately what a near-stock Type S will make at the wheels.

thats actually pretty cool sounds like something you and i would do eric :P

someone at the valley did it... all th teachers laufged at hm cause he was expection it to basicly be a more pwoerful supercharger.. ya it added 10 hp.. he spent like 5 months putting it in
