Any ideas on an inexpensive high pressure pump to use? That would probably be my main concern. Controlling that pump would be my next concern.
I'm chatting with mechanical friends who have more aptitude than me.. lol

One of my friends just got a smog-pump to supercharge a gocart
engine. As in:

Dirt Cheap Supercharger - Turbo Motorcycles, Hot Rods Bikes,Turbo Bikes,Suzuki,

The advantage of the smog pump, apart from being cheap is that they
are already automotive grade.

There are two types, mechanical and electrical. Smog pumps off old
V8's have power - and have no problem handling exhaust type heat.

I prefer electrical and as I'm thinking I could drive it from an
arduino with code like:

ok - maybe better code - lol
