Does anyone know anything about these? Seems cheap enough to try playing with.

Those are not designed for use on an engine. They are simple air movers for things like ventilation systems on submarines. They are only rated for 3300 RPM.

They have good prices on ammo cans!!!! I bet they bought a pallet of those blowers for cheap (army surplus).
Damn and they're all out of the Viet Nam era leaflet bombs!!
I am sure Tim Taylor would love it.
Paxton was a manufacture so they made many applications from industrial to automotive

Only if it were a Binford 4000 multi vane high rpm unit.

That one is rated for 400 cfm, and 3300 rpm. Might work on a harbor freight powered go cart.
Paxtons for hi-perf use on a v8 are rated somewhere around 70,000 rpm.

I know I'm right....
Blower CFM..." about 1500 cfm on 600 inch motor running a 8-71 turning 6000 RPM blower speed"
That's a bargain if you can get it to work! Run it at half crank speed (3000 max) still only 400 CFM at no rated PSI. But if you need a belt driven blower in that spec.....yeah...$3789 list!

Thank you. I am completely ignorant and i knew it was likely too good to be true.

Paxton, Vortech, and ATI procharger usually have a pulley ratio of around 1.5/2 to 1, plus the step-up ratio inside the blower, around 5 to one. So, at 6000 engine rpm, times 1.5 drive ratio (conservative) and 5 to 1 step up.... your blower would be spinning 45,000 rpm. Really big centrifugals can flow 3000 cfm, plus.

What are you wanting to put a blower on? If it's something small like a mild 318 or a slant 6, you might could make this work.

The specs on this are for 1.0-2.2L engines.
There’s a few YouTube videos of them on small cars and they’re LOUD!
Almost makes me wish they made a bigger, quieter version.
