I think you will find it will reduce the output to 1/4 of the orignal. I had a
similar experience years ago trying to go in the reverse of what you are doing.

make it go QRO with "More Power"

Subject: [Amps] Reducing blower CFM and noise
Hi,
I have a Dayton pressure blower that puts out 820 CFM with a 3450 RPM 1/3 HP
motor. If I substitute a 1725 RPM 1/4 HP motor will the CFM drop in half?
Will the roaring sound drop accordingly also? I hope there is a straight
formula rather than working with fan diameter and number of blades etc?
73,
Ken W2DTC
