Is it possible to fabricate a turbo or something that would work the same as a turbo? I know it sounds crazy but could it be done?

SQ is the SQUAD

anything can be done with the right knowledge and money. it wont be easy or cheap

Your talking about making a turbo out of some sheet metal and cast steel? Have you ever seen a turbo? LOL The clearances on a turbo are to tight for a "home made" job...Unless you have $100,000 worth of machining equipment in your living room.

i have reason to beileve that a home made supercharger would be possible.

take a compressor off of a turbo add some pulley to the bich and bolt it to the alternator its got to push some kind of psi...

Minor Threat

Kinda like a Procharger...

buk9tp

i know about prochargers

im not talking about a 3k dollar and up procharger.. im talking about a compressor hosing for 50 bucks.. fabbing some kind of maybe 1 inch thick plate for a mouting position.. prolly wont cost u another 50 bucks.. and pulleys and belts for cheap..

i wanst disputing the concept.. its been done. i was just wondering if it could be done for cheap using readilly available parts and not "$100,000 worth of machining equipment in your living room" :sigh:

Minor Threat

Although I know it seemed like it, I was kinda making a dig at Procharger and not you Buk.

If regular turbos weren't the greatest things ever, I'd consider spending some time on a homebrew Procharge style system, I'm sure someone, somewhere has done it.

that wouldnt work, do you have any idea what rpm a turbo spins @? 1:1 gearing wouldnt cut it

its been done

sorry about that minor threat i know im a dickhole.

---- 1:1

find out what rpm the alternator spins at and some calculations ull find out what size pulleys ull need to get those rpms..

its doable
