That's an awesome result for the SS3! Anyone wanna compare that to a Kando graph? Looks like similar power but less lag? (going by my not so reliable memory)

If you don't mind telling me what people these electric turbos will be marketed towards?

Because I swear it's better/ more satisfying just having a turbo car

I believe the primary intention is to use it with a 600+ HP turbo and feel like it has no lag. Like a cheaper less complex compound system.

And yes that SS3EG looks epic! The price is great too!

Only problem is, for such a large unit it is only making 1psi +ve pressue

A good ram air system can do that

1psi = 2.036"hg

so if it is going from -5 on the boost bauge (most boost gauges read vacuum in InHg) it has made 7InHg difference

My feeling is, that if you took the electric blower out of the intake and ran the car with just an intake pipe the difference would be even less.

Stao, have you thought about using a compressor out of a centrifugial supercharger? They are designed to use less shaft RPM to flow the air.

If you can get the electric blower to move a heap of air at low shaft rpm you could be onto a winner

Problem is, if you can't find a way to refuel the batteries running the electric blower, then it's just a charge and use system...like meth/water injection, or NOS...only less efficient. And the latter of which I thought was already used to combat lag in big turbo setups?

half the reason it looks epic is cause its an ex gate..

So is the Kando I'm comparing it to :ninja:

Actually, your on a good track here......

Stao, why dont you produce a belt driven suppercharger and setup a twin charge system? If you made an affordable kit you might actually do really well from it. I think what your doing now is on a similar sort of track, you just need the gearing.

Hey if it worked and was a bolt on to my motor (im SR but hello RB25 SAU) I would definitely buy it and run it with a much larger turbo. Hell, you could supply both.

No there is no lag in the electric system. The eturbo spools up and reaches surging point straight way. The key to this is not all RPMs it needs torque. I'm looking to buy an higher powered motor soon. hopefully that can make 3~5psi.

Belt drive... Compound turbo....

Agree^

If you can compound it...so run a belt drive from engine to a gearbox that multiplies RPM for the turbo shaft. On the engine side of things, have an A/C compressor style clutch that disengages electronically at a certain RPM, where exhaust gases take over...is there a reason this wouldn't work?

Actually I wouldn't mind a centrifugal blower setup by itself just to be different, however inefficient it may be compared to a turbo...is this something you could produce Stao?

Thats how it works for all the factory twin charged cars :)

Yeah, except that centrifugal superchargers that are belt driven from the engine don't make any boost at low revs. They need some shaft speed under their belt to make any boost at all, and only make their max boost at the fastest shaft speed. Which is a bit gay for a super-turbo compound setup, because what you really want is for the supercharger to be making boost instantly at the bottom of the rev range, which then leads on to all the benefits that you actually want from the system (which is more off idle torque, reduced pressure ratios across each stage of the compression setup, larger rear housing on the turbo stage to reduce back pressure and reversion and all that, etc, etc, etc).

The only way this discussion makes sense is if you get;

  1. A belt driven geared up electric supercharger that switches off and out of the flow circuit once the real turbo is up to speed (so, sequential really, but it could start out as compound series, and when it switches off and out the main turbo becomes conventional).
  2. A belt driven lobed blower in normal series compound arrangement with the turbo, a la what Stockymcstock did. Packaging all that stuff into the engine bay is a pain in the arse though.

Im sure a really well designed compressor with appropriate gearing could start boosting at a decent RPM and not go into surge or start blowing hot air by redline.

The idea is to compress compressed air anyway, so as long as the compressor doesnt surge or blow hot it just needs to keep compressing what the turbo is giving once its out of its efficiency range. So it should be fairly doable in my mind.

its more or less like this:

intake - big turbo inlet, big turbo outlet - supercharger inlet, supercharger outlet to intercooler and so on. The idea is to help the big turbo spin up sooner. The main restriction in a compound setup is the small housing on the small turbo, but thats a null point in this case.

Should be fun if Stao takes it on board.

I see. I always thought twin charged was done as seperate units, i.e. a blower atop the engine, fed by a turbo further down the plumbing, rather than combined into one housing.

Examples of factory twin charged cars?!?

Nissan March Super Turbo

The Lancia Delta's

there are a few others but cant think of them right now

Why not just use compressed air from a compressor to spool..

Would be as simple as plumbing a nozzle into the turbine (and or compressor) and having a solenoid rigged to open at desired rev range to keep turbo always on positive boost..you could even rig it so that the solenoid opens whenever turbo hits negative..

Seems pretty simple to me now you guys tell me why it won't work...

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
