I was delirious after my first car wreck. 45 mph t bone that sent me into a tree. The worst of it was...(old car) so after we sent it to the junkyard the insurance lady told us there were no airbag sensors for the airbag to deploy... :thumbdown: |

With the exception of the electric supercharger - why has there not been any leaps in compact turbo or supercharger kit builds? that would be in the under $3,000 price range? Is it just not realistically possible? Would the power increase just not be sufficient enough? Are we at the golden age of conventional Turbo/SC so there isn't much to capitalize on? (hopefully that is comprehensible sorry haha)
I guess there are only so many things you can do and everything has been R&D'd and this is where we are at today? :iono: Also, why isn't anyone creating a pulley/electrical charge system or exhaust/electrical charge system? So its reducing heat, but still able to spool up the charger in two different ways at the same time? i.e. a hybrid-like FI ? I have some capital if anyone would care to take on a project like that with me :D I just don't have near the amount of knowledge as some of ya'll @CSG Mike , @Sportsguy83 , @nelsmar , @jamesm |

Both systems would need to have a clutch to disengage the electric motor from the other driver. (pulley or turbine) The turbo is a pretty hot place for a clutch assembly and electric motor too. (Clutch may not be needed on the turbo, as it would help scavenge exhaust with the electric motor) The added complexity of a supercharger (gearbox, clutch, oil, etc.) is not worth it, as more money should just be put into an electric compressor/supercharger. A true OEM electric supercharger would have the proper components that would make the standard supercharger/turbocharger pieces unnecessary. This is getting pretty off topic though, so we'll leave it at that. |
