This idea just hit me while reading the "Ditch the airbox" thread.
Now I'm just spit balling here since I don't even have a bike at the moment to test this on but here goes.
What do you think would happen if someone got rid of the airbox, put on a pod filter, and installed a fan similar to a computer fan between the filter and carb and wired it to a switch or something. Would that pretty much give it a poor man's turbo?
Like I said, just spit balling, thinking outloud, or what have you.

In my newest issue of hotrod mag they routed the air from 2 leaf blowers into the intake of a corvette and made some noticeable hp gains. I think this idea would all depend on how well you directed and kept the airflow going down the intake.

650 cc X 2,000 = air flow thru the carb at 2,000 rpm.
Gonna need some Honkin Wind to fill that fat jug up at RPM..

Like I said, was just curious as too what ya'll think would happen. If I still had the FireLizard, I would test it out myself and report back, but I don't have any kind of bike at the moment so it is basically just "I wonder what would happen if..."
Besides, actual turbos are pricey.

The problem is accurately metering the air-fuel mixture between boosted and unboosted.

Don't think those little fans blow much air... now a leaf blower...
Hmmm... how many volts do you get from the alternator before it gets regulated again?

Isn't it primarily about the increase of Oxygen?

How about RAM air? Get a 1 1/2" PVC P-Trap and just use the "U"? Connect it with a two-clamp rubber drain adapter.

I could point you to the tale of frustration and woe over on another board where the guy has been struggling for two years trying to get the homemade ram air on his ZRX to fuel properly. No matter how much he messed with the jets, he would be either to rich at the bottom or too lean on top.

650 cc X 2,000 = air flow thru the carb at 2,000 rpm.....
Make that 6000 rpm, one inhale per two rotations = 3000 rpm, times 652cc = 1956000 cc/minute. 1 cu/ft = 28300cc. At 6000 rpm we are inhaling 69 cfm.

A $15 12v 80mm fan is puffing 84 cfm. You
will
have positive pressure and will have some boost.
I have a lot of space over the airbox. Hmmmm.....

Maybe.
But Lancer could get the jets right.
