Possibly retarded question about air pump
What would happen if I were to connect the air pump outlet to the air intake? I know it sounds dumb but I'm just curious. Would it act as forced induction? I know it's a very small amount of air compared to a turbo charger but eh I'm bored and I think of stupid things when I'm bored.

The volume of air is way too small to do anything. Trust me. This idea has been floated on this forum before. I remember one guy who just would not accept that it would do squat and before you knew it, people were calling him names. Not nice names. Bad insulting names. Be careful. Use an aliias when inquiring about that subject.
I'll do a search and see if I can recall some of those old threads.

I'll stop now.

Won't help anything. You won't gain even .10 HP. Go study automotive induction.
