Hmmm... I wonder if that electric super charger could help out with the problem I have in my MX6... the heater blower fan is not performing as well as it should, but if I installed that thing instead I bet I could get a lot more air out of my vents
I did do a leafblower on an Taurus once, and it *seemed* to accelerate to redline faster while in park. Couldn't ever drive test it though because it was a backpack blower and we couldn't close the hood with it hooked up lol

Going from your location, and my great memory of midwest threads with dead cars, you can probably give your well running b3 away in exchange for someone to help with an engine swap for you if you aren't comfortable doing one. The festiva love only gets bigger when everyone sees you have a bigger engine. Everyone wants to see it go faster and faster. When you break something people link you to donor cars. LOL

It's a MazdaFordnKia thing, and you will understand!
this ebay item going for 200 dollars i might buy it to give a little more hp to my slightly modded b3. looks better than the other place ins, this one actually turns on not like the other cheap once
nope... i have a big 3 inch hose connected to the vaf and fad my friend sitting the the back seat with the hatch open working the leaf blower when i told him to lol...

Is there video footage of this leaf blower & your buddy in the back operating it? It just sounds like a priceless moment in history that should have documentation :tongue3:
