No announcement yet.
So I designed a zero lag turbo charger

FWIW my guess is on a hot cam with tons of valve overlap. More flow between intake exhaust = higher velocity exhaust gasses = faster turbo = more boost = infinity power!!!

how about hooking up that electric supercharger to regenerative braking.
on a track it could be helpful with all the hard braking and hard acceleration you do.

I'm going to hook up my AC compressor to my intake for MOAR AIR AT THE PUSH OF A BUHTTTOOOOONNNNN!!!

He originally started the whole thing with an Airesearch T11 bolted to a starter for 7 psi, IIRC.
The idea was also more instant boost, then once the exhaust gas volume caught up, it would just dump power to the motor, and not use battery (or ultra cap) for more than a short while. it could then use waste exhaust energy to supplement either an electric drive motor, or the vehicle electrics without draw on the crank, as there is energy to be had from the exhaust (as the turbo compounding systems have demonstrated). There's at least a 10% overall energy savings to be had via these methods - the question is at what point is it economically feasible to add. It works on semi trucks, as 10% of $300k in fuel is a buttload of $, but on a prius the extra 2MPG are significantly less cost effective to go after (when such a system adds 9 or $10k).

And I do recall seeing a LEGITIMATE spec for an electric turbo system once. It was basically a dissociated compressor/turbine, with a generator on the hot side, and a motor on the cold side. IIRC it required around 7kW to run the compressor at full power - but was to be capable of near instantaneous boost under any engine operating conditions, as well as charging the battery while cruising (if boost was not needed). I imagine it'll be found on hybrid semi-trucks long before it shows up in cars (unless it shows up in a 7 series turbo activehybrid first...)
If I can find it I'll post it up, not that this thread gives a fuck.

Originally posted by einstein57 View PostI hope you were not going to waste your time and money strapping an electric motor to the turbo to spin it before boost build. I remember people working on that almost 10 years ago. I have ideas on how to actually make a lag free boosted engine but it would cost a few thousand dollars to add on to your existing setup. Not worth the cost for a street car and not worth the weight for a race car.
Twin Charging?
Misfire systems? - Throttle bypass or inlet bypass causing unburnt air/fuel to ignite when it hits the exhaust manifold and spool the hot side. (works well, but it is very brutal on the engine and turbos)
How about a small electric or mechanical compressor used to pressurize an air tank used to spool the turbo?:D lol
Either way, youre trying to reinvent the wheel here. This technology has been around forever so I highly doubt you will come up with a SIMPLE solution.
