So I designed a zero lag turbo charger

[slammin.e28]

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

[Kershaw]

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.

good name. Lets get this ball rolling.

How did I just now see this thread?

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!!!

I got it! suuuper hot cam, and an idle of 3000rpm.

fawk lagggg.

jesus pat, what are you doing up at 5:50am? you work to hard.

I work from 6p-6a 3 days per week.

good times

Compound turbos?
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.

None of those. I was thinking more along the lines of regenerative braking but for compressed air. Fewer moving parts. You probably won't need more than an instant for the extra air to get the turbo back up to speed.

Except for the air compressor, lines, tank, solenoid valves, and control system you'll need to add...

Like I said too heavy for a race car and too expensive for a street car to save 2 seconds of delay.

Word on the street is that subaru is working on a new 1.6L motor that is fitted with an exhaust turbine that generates electricity and powers an electric supercharger. 1.6L puts them back into WRC.....

[Kershaw]

that's an interesting way to do it.

[u3b3rg33k]

I've seen it done before - somewhere on the internet. IIRC each side can handle around 9HP.
