complicated electric/belt driven turbos

[madhillbilly17]

well if you've got a idea give it a try, im lost on how you can use a normal turbo but if you think you can make it work give it ago,i think it mite be hard trying to get enough puff kind of sounds like a turbo/supercharger if you pull something off electric you could make a fortune!

Why don't you use a leaf blower? It's common knowledge that they work pretty good for this purpose :lol:

....just a stab in the dark but does anybody know whats the rough output rpm wise of the average turbo...

I have no knowldge of such things and stand to be corrected but... according to 'tinternet, somewhere between 150,000 and 200,000 rpm
good luck with finding an electric motor to do that!

the design of the type in the link are rubbish imo ,the problem is its blocking the air flow in the induction hose and then spins which draws some air so your back where you start,or in some cases worse off as it hasnt drawn enough to compensate for the block.

If your going to go with the centrifugal design you'll need to create a snail for it like a normal turbo or Rotrex super charger

everything ive ever seen about these so called intake pipe electronic fans/superchargers is a load of bollocks in most cases.

the link claims it will increase manifold pressure by 2psi which is nothing.

they are hoping you are a mug and will misread it thinking you are generating 2psi of positive boost.

NA engines run in vacuum, ie the vacuum created as the piston goes down is what draws air into the engine from atmosphere.

on a proper turbo or supercharged car when you are talking about creating 2psi of boost, you are in reality going from probably -12psi or so upto 2psi so in reality creating 14psi.

That is why even "low boost" conversions on the puma creating 6psi or similar you are still putting a considerable strain on the engine compared to NA running and why you need to sort out fuelling issues properly.

if something in the tuning industry sounds too good to be true, in 99.999% of cases it is.
