Honda Pioneer 700 with supercharger.

WHAT...
A Honda Pioneer with a DIY supercharger/blower!
I do not have any more info then the below video.
Watching it... it does look like it has an accelerated takeoff.
Trying to contact the poster.

That oughta solve altitude sickness... And void the warranty.

Re: Honda Pioneer 700 with supercharger. DYI.

Yep. From the vid, it looks like a good improvement.

 

[SkyPup]

Gotta love this, a 3-4 lb boost would be all it needs.

Spoke with the poster today. Said from the run test they timed an 8% increase in takeoff speed going short distance and up-hills. This is factory setup with only a muffler tip.
Hoping for more info soon.

 

[ohanacreek]

So I'm guessing some sort of electric fan? I thought it was some sort of engine powered setup till I listened to the audio.

 

[Hondasxs]

Ya. Some sort of 12v blower.
Only issue I see is being able to have varying speed with rpm levels. Figured you could install a push button and engage when you need it, may work for a cheap solution.

 

[ohanacreek]

You could have a coil pickup and send that to a speed controller to increase the speed as RPM increases. But I have a feeling it would need to be a heck of a fan for higher RPMs or it might actually restrict airflow if it were placed inline. If it weren't placed inline it'd need to be an even bigger fan to compensate for pressure loss out of the other intake.

 

[Hondasxs]

Ya. With some fancy wire'ing and know how I guess you could. Add a high flow filter, muffler, and a FI programmer... Then the Pioneer may turn into a beast.

 

[ohanacreek]

Could always plumb a scuba tank in if you just want a burst of power. Need some sort of pressure reg to keep from blowing the motor. But way cheaper to fill than NOS and less chance of damage, being as it is HIGH pressure air instead of an oxidizer. A big tank would give you 130cf of air at 3000-4500psi when full. Be enough for a quite a few bursts, but not great for long trips. Also take up a lot of bed space and weigh @50-75lbs.

Ok. Finally made good contact with the poster. He is actually a member here and goes by Lynn. Talking with Him, he is experimenting with this DIY modifications that will provide a few pounds of boost allowing the Pioneer to capture a small amount of power and could provide huge results for high elevation riding. He is in the state of Washington and rides at high elevation all the time.

Currently this is considered R&D testing to see what affect this will have. Just a fun project looking for fun results.

Here is video #2.
Supercharger/blower overview.

Big thank you to Lynn for the video.

 

[ohanacreek]

Awesome.

Cool, but wouldn't the added air make the machine run lean. Seems like you would have to have a power commander or get it remapped?

You would assume. He may call that.. "stage 2" lol.
I haven't heard a single word on on the programmer just yet. Not sure me or Lynn would want to be the 1st to try it.
If that small blower can improve it that much... I bet a programmer set up correctly would release a whole new beast.

 

[Lynn]

I haven't noticed any indication of being lean. how long can you be at wide open throttle? I've run it like 46 sec on one steep climb, but turns or obstacles always cause you to have to back off, or you reach the rev limiter. Remember this is switched to be used only when needed and the factory computer seems to adjust to the pressures and demands just fine. Tomorrow I will be doing more testing and expect even more power increases after removing all factory intake components. I'll keep you all informed on HondaSxS.com

Homemade manometer test.

Found that removing all the factory snorkel including the 90deg end made a huge difference as shown in the manometer results.

 

[Lynn]

Pioneer take off with Supercharger!

 

[Lynn]

Hill Test 1 with blower off. elevation 3500 feet.

Hill Test 2 with blower on. Throttle response is instant. my wife did a good job of demonstrating, don't you think.

 

[Lynn]

Wheel Spin Test at 3500 feet elevation. the first time I tried this I got no wheel spin which was more dramatic, but off course the camera wasn't running.

Hill Climb Test at 5500 feet. The footage really doesn't due justice to how steep it is, but the acceleration up the hill was impressive I even had to back off a little because of obstacles on the trail.

Can you take a pic and show us what kind of blower motor you used. I mean to tell you this is getting my blood pumping. I live at 6000 feet and ride above this elevation and have had issues. I need this.
