Thread: Wieand 144 Blower Q's

Tweet

My dad read on the wieand website that the 144's make boost at idle, I think he was mis reading a boost chart so I'm going to have to look myself.

edit. I just looked, they do not have a boost chart that I could find, what they did have is a troubleshooting guide and 1 of the troubleshoots was " Engine has vac at low RPM " and it said it was normal when not under boost. right there compleatly confirms what mike said, now all I got to do is show him so he belives it . if he runs a vac can with a check valve behind it, that will give him the vac he needs right? thanks

it has to have air to make boost, and with the throttle closed there is no air. not enought to make boost anyway.

yep, I just edited my post, must have been while you were posting. I got that information right from Wieand just to prove what my dad had read was wrong. thanks

he can put a can on it if he want to but he don't need to. i never ran one with 454,671 set up.

if you have 16" of vac. on your stock intake, take it off, bolt a blower on, you still have 16" of vac.
