smog pump for boost

[akghound]

Not too long ago, on one of the few forums I attend, there was mentioned using a smog pump to boost intake on a gas engine. I would like to know more about such an idea but can't find the thread. Do any of you guys know how to do this?

Well, it probably will not create enough air volume. The smog pumps (most of them) are just rotary vane pumps and will not move enough air to really create any boost on a small diesel. Belt driven "Blowers" generally come in two flavors "roots type" with inter meshing rotors and centrifugal whereby a large impeller similar to a turbo impeller is driven at high speed by a gear set in the blower. Both move a very large volume of air which is necessary to create the "boost" you want.
