Umm you mean the electric fan used to push air in the cab?
It will not do what you want it to do the cfm it pushes will never meet the need of the engine or will it ever produce boost if that is what you are looking for. You may want to check out the search on the electric fan booster they sell them on ebay they are rip offs and only thing that will happen is mess you engine up when it fly’s apart.

NO...this definetely will not work. There is no easy way to supercharge and engine. If it were as easy as hooking up an electric fan then we'd all be doing it. It would take a very large electric motor and a very large amount of amperage and current to push enough CFM and create enough boost to do anything at all.

i found a 250cfm fan made for a boats vacum. Whats your opinion on this?

It would still not work...an engine flows much more than that at high RPMs...maybe it would help with your idle...and I doubt that it would create any boost.

You would need at least 500 cfm to do anything and then it's still just a restiction in your intake. The amperage draw would remove any benifit you could get from them. Then the problem of desinagation and destroying your engine. I have seen some built to make boost. But their life span is only a few hours before they burn up.
