Che'_Moderator Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Not going to read this because its a mess. But based on the first post.Whats o2?andOxygen is not flammable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal3thousand Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 How about just compressed air (oxygen, nitrogen, co2... yada yada) to supplement boost? Not like I'm tryin to do any of this crap... just a crazy thought and wondered if anyone (ever) has done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal3thousand Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Why not methane - you can you a tube right out your ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD... Sorry, I couldn't help myself; not meant to offend anyone.EDIT: meant to say you can run a tube.... sorry about that My wife might argue with this but I don't think I could come up with enough pressure. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its called forced induction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Burnsy Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 you should get a gas air compressor and put it in the back of your car.that way you can get like 150psi instead of a measly 20 that a turbo will give you. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipd Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Last year I messed around with injecting air under pressure into the exhaust scroll of the turbo to eliminate spool time.I drilled a hole in the scroll about 1/3 the way around on tangent and tapped a fitting, then the fitting ran via tubing to a solenoid valve and then to regulator at 20psi and finally a tank with approx 70psi in it.Worked great but it side loaded the journal bearings quite a bit and wore them out quickly. I had intended to try it again on a ball bearing turbo but haven't gotten to it yet.Also somewhat risky as high boost at low rpm = bent rods. But it was sure fun hitting 10 psi at 1800 rpm!
