I'm trying to make a setup for my S2000, but none of the electric motors can get even close to the RPM requirements of a properly sized turbo. Makes me wonder how this issue is resolved.

Thats the bit of magic behind what it took to make this system, and why it would be so hard to reproduce independantly.
You need to source, extremely custom made motors, to spin as fast as possible and not blow-up. You need a custom made compressor housing, and a custom made air impeller, that is properly matched to the custom made motor. Then you need to have the electronics "Know" to design a custom made, very high powered controller for this DC brushless motor. You need to have the knowlege of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, fluid dynamics, and be willing to get a little dirty trying out countless variations of this thing to make it all work. You would have to design and spec out all of these things to companies willing to make them for you. It would also help if you had a lot of machining tools available to do things that nobody else would fool around with.
That's what's so awsome about Rob's TQ250, right now! If there are any minor hicupps to work out yet, most of them are in making it dummy proof to install. The fact is, mines been running flawlessly for 9 months now, and thats a major triump of engineering!
How many competitors have show-up so far? This stuff is hard to do well, and Rob's work is truly pioneering.
