Nebor Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Where can I get an electric SC? I want one for my Neon.←If you're serious, there's a company that makes electric superchargers that produce 40hp in short bursts. It costs $3000, and uses a battery of batteries (har!) I think like 4 marine batteries in the trunk. It reallly works, and is track proven. It's only good for 70 seconds of boost before it needs to be recharged though. It's basically like nitrous, but more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 I dont know but I think a super charger is a waste of time, it requires you to re-configure all you belts and so on←True, but a TC requies you to reconfigure your entire intake and exhaust setup, drill holes in the oil pan for oil to and from the turbo, and plumb it into the cooling system ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAVolvo Posted November 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Good luck! Make sure you get a before and after on the dyno.←I'll try, if I go ahead with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAVolvo Posted November 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 The challenge I see with this is that there are two many conversions of useful energy. HP-->Electricity-->MotionToo many places for energy to escape, I'd think. You'd be better off running it like an SC with pulleys hooked up directly to the crank pulley. That way you change the energy's form fewer times. Your idea, while not bad, just seems an overcomplicated way to solve a problem that's already been solved to me. I don't mean that in an offensive way, I think you'd need to spend A LOT of money to see any measurable power gains. You waste a lot of energy going from motion, to electricity, back to motion. Esp given with an electric motor you face further losses due to heat. A standard, run of the mill SC setup would be much more effective, and much less expensive to set up.Using an electic motor to help "pre spool" a turbo might be a decent idea to cut down on turbo lag, though you'd still suffer some power loss before you hit an RPM where full could be naturally achieved. Attaching the motor/battery directly to the turbo with a clutch so that on spool-down some of the energy of the still spinning turbine could be used to regenerate SOME of the lost power.←Hmmm...good advice...thanks for the info!

Guest DougK Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 jesus christ I thought this thread was a joke.An electric blower will NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH AIR FLOW. IN FACT IT WILL MAKE YOU LOOSE HP BY BEING AN RESTRICTION IN THE INTAKE PATH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
