Wow sweetness another electic turbo!

wow good stuff lol, I bet that gauge (which looks to be electric) jumps to 10psi when the fan turns on haha.

This stuff cracks me up, especially that someone is going to pay $355 for it and it still has two days to go!.

It almost looks real :p

Re:Wow sweetness another electic turbo!
 
that's what I was saying, at least this one looks fast ;), I can't believe someone is actually going to pay $400 for that thing

Re:Wow sweetness another electic turbo!
 
If you think you can get $400 for it, sell it

i just did some research and it looks like this thing is made for diesel engines that are already turbo. good link--- http://www.turbodyne.com/techrep3.html

Re:Wow sweetness another electic turbo!
 
Okay so with that thing they increase the volume of air going into the turbo itself, and then the turbo pushes more air

Re:Wow sweetness another electic turbo!
 
I read about on their web site and it gives like 10hp. Thats all and it is used for better emitions and fuel economy. I has really high EGTs but with a perfect A/F ratio. ::)

Re:Wow sweetness another electic turbo!
 
sohcrxsi,

Just looked at that site, interesting info there.

Its capable of 4psi so it says but its only supposed to be on for 4 seconds or so.

It said alone it can produce 4 psi for a 5.9l diesel up to 2000 rpm. Which honestly isnt that bad maybe it could make 4 psi on a car, I dont want to sound stupid either but its possible. It said it spins at 40,000 rpm as well.

Anyways I'd be curious if it actually worked but I woudlnt fork out that kind of money for the thing. Makes you wonder though

i hope someone hops on this so I can contact them to see how it went. It almost looks like thats a turbo in the picture.

I think I'm going to start making nitrous kits. It'll be a few cans of whip cream, some balloons and a really long needle like thing. You just have to use the whipcream can to fill up the baloons with nossss, put them next to the air filter and use the needle to pop it when you want an extra 2000 horsepower for 7 to 9 nanoseconds

Re:Wow sweetness another electic turbo!
 
Yeah, did you see how big those wires are? That fucker would make your car dead in one good quarter mile if I pulled that kind of amps. The real issue here is that they have created the least efficient supercharger in the world. By the time energy from the engine gets to the electric motor, it has changed around and a lot had been wasted. Not really ideal, very wasteful, but a better attempt than usual... I am actually debating super-turbo-charging the FX, but I need to finish the new turbo thing first.

Re:Wow sweetness another electic turbo!
 
Turbo magazine has an article this month on one of the "new" electric superchargers. They said that this one works, but it just looks like a bunch of bullshit if you ask me.


Oh, and a guy I went to high school with turbo'd his car with his moms hairdryer. The car had absolutely no power gain before the blowdryer burn that car to the ground. I don't know how he did it, I just know that his car burnt to a fucken crisp and that's what he said he did. (Yeah, so I didn't go to the highest scoring high school. :-\ So what)
