A high pressure air reservoir could be used in just that way. Would need to work out a way not to have to squirt it into the exhaust housing (ie, some other sort of additional turbine on the same shaft would be good - or, left field thinking, squirt it tangentially onto the compressor wheel and hope it spins it up without interfering with the flow off the tips of the comp wheel). In fact, it has been done before in one way or another.

But, it takes a lot of flow to drive a turbo up to speed for any length of time, so a tank that can fit into a car won't last very long, and probably won't provide enough benefit to cover its own weight anyway.

Why not extend the turbo intake out into a 4" or 5" funnel and have a 4or5" fan instead of the small one Stao tested, that way it will drive more air and once condensed into the smaller compressor opening it would have more pressure/density wouldnt it...

Why not connect a complicated belt and pulley system to some bicycle pedals in the passenger footwell so you passenger can pre-spool the turbo for you = on boost from idle.

or what about using a small model aeroplane motor fuelled on alcohol mounted in the turbo snout...

I love to see a super responsive 300rwkw turbo system...eliminate the lag

I was actually thinking a hi amp started motor that drives a cog attached to the turbine shaft.

This would just give a quick zap everytime you applied heavy acceleration when the turbo is off boost.

But now I think birds idea is much better :laugh:

Though maybe instead of pedals we could just have a hamster wheel with some well built guinea cops on roids

This Eturbo was originally thought to be a bolton "turbo" upgrade that can produce about 5psi of boost on a 2L or smaller NA car. In practice it is rather difficult, but developments are still been made.

Realistically the E turbo on a compound will unlikely to work unless it is a low boost application as the motor speed can not go beyond 40,000RPMs so's the bearing that is securing the shaft.

I'm still waiting to trail the new G3 version in both in and external gate on the 11th.

Nissan March Super Turbo

The Lancia Delta's

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

HKS did a kit for the 4agze aswell,

re: the air compressor..a crazy ex mate yrs ago tried it on his GTR, he had a tyre inflater air compressor, connected up to eleventy billion 2 litre coke bottles in the boot of his car, hooked up to a solenoid ..adelaide people may have seen it..lol...i don't think it worked, but man was it funny and loud..haha

cheers

Ok got a new tune and it makes 280hp, boost still falling over.

If that is the case, you can send the turbo back and swap for some thing bigger, I won't charge you for the upgrade.

2x Small 12s 5000mAh Li-po batteries

How long will they run it for? I'm wondering how this would go on a 1000cc sports bike motor.

I run then for about 15mints and they are 85% depleted. If you run them off 2x 24V car batteries they should last for couple of hours in theory.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
