super charger

so im building one for my motor, id like to get as many opinions on this as possible, so i can go ahead and prevent most problems before they arise

Your not going to get much out of it, Best way to increase power is through giving the engine less restance (I.e., Straight pipes, airfilter, porting, etc.) Thats a long like of people turboing small engine to little or no effect, eventually cause the engine to fail prematurely or just added weight....Sorry to end that for ya,

ill still try it, if it doesnt have noticable effects ill remove it

i remember i posted a topic about superchargers on here.
https://www.atltf.com/t1036-supercharger-for-a-16hp-18hp-briggs-and-stratton

Theres actually a couple of topics on this. Theres no real way to supercharge a mower engine, they arent made for it. If you want more power, drop the couple thousand dollars to get billet parts and an overbored head.

Otherwise, a K&N filter will do about the same amount of work a supercharger would.

thanks for the input guys im not thinking it will help with power, but im hopin it might allow better airflow into the carb without having to cut the hood,idk its liable to not even make it to the mower tho

K&N filter bro. Its literally a screen.

I turbod mine and I can feel the difference I got a high flow pipe custom intake and full carb (snowmobile carb) and when I did the turbo I can feel it. More

Any chance we can get some pics and details?

I would like to turbo my mudder/trail mower.
But dont know how i can do it.

I agree that a supercharger would be better, but what could we use that would give off 10, or more, psi? I heard that 10psi and up then you can feel it.

Yeah i say 10psi would be good.

Whatever the case, I can say with honesty one of those part-time electric turbo's (the hairdryers as they're nicknamed in the car crowd) DO make power for a mower. The smog pump superchargers work too, but not as well. Either way, you're losing some durability by going that route...

I haven't heard of a smog pump charger, I guess ill look it up. I think you culd take down like a thoutanth of a inch off the head, then you could get a little more comprssion. I wish they made a oversived cam for this. it would sound gnarly

So I looked it up, and I guess if you want a true "supercharger" you should look for one of those 70-100+ gallon air compressors and get the compresser off of it. How much air does it blow is the question, so if any one wanted to do this it would be all home brew. im super intrusted so ill ask some of my friends.

Theres a 5hp go-kart briggs powered on youtube that has a smog pump s/c on it... fastest Ive seen for such a big dude driving it...
