What kinda car and why would you want to do something so crazy? You've seen that vid clip floating around the web w/ someone doing this haven't you?

So are you trying to make apoor mans blower? You would need to know what the consumption of the electric motor is and then you would need a coverter capable of handling the load. You will be forcing more air so you will need to be able to increase fuel supply.

Still don't understand your reasoning but good luck!!

Ok well good luck with that one!! Hope it works out for him. Still one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard of but to each his own.
