al3k, since your only looking at this as an anti lag system have you considered using ultra capacitors rather than batteries to power it? Since you’re only going to be using it for a fraction of a...

Too funny, just found this website, it is so close to my design (with improvements) I’m guessing they at least used some of my work as a starting point and no doubt the Phantom as well.

I don’t blame you the ESC is a very cool concept, and I’m sure it could be made to work the way you want but I’m not sure how much time/money/expertise it would take to get there. I’m pretty good...

Good luck, and keep us updated. I suspect you’re going to find this more difficult than you anticipate, but not impossible. It’s tricky enough getting the ESC alone to work well, in conjunction...

I agree that this sort of anti lag system is a different niche then the ESC concept. Obviously it’s for cars that already have a conventional turbo which makes adding an ESC all but pointless. ...

I agree, and that’s what I was getting at when I said I’m not sure how the ESC and turbo would interact. Conceptually it’s an interesting idea but I agree it would probably be cost/complexity...

Looking at the compressor map for the EFR 6758 it gets optimal boost around 125K RPM. It should be easy to match that using the same compressor for the ESC under no load, but I’m not sure under...
