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.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
