    could you imagine throwing this thing on a fiesta st a hybrid turbo that loves tons of air compression.

  • @MajorMalfunction
    @MajorMalfunction Před 4 lety +251

    What you need is a second air intake with a flap valve that closes under positive pressure. So you can drive around naturally aspirated without losing the horses, and when you hit the turbo the valve shuts and delivers the boost. Or you could do an electric solenoid valve that closes when you press the button. Just some ideas. :)

    • @scottborkowski4487
      @scottborkowski4487 Před rokem +16

      was thinking the same thing. needs a way to save the 10 hp for bottom end and a throttle switch to control the turbo so it kicks in under full throttle. Was also wondering what it would be like if a guy ran twins on there, would that negate the boost drop in higher rpm

    I'm making a 2018 challenger sxt street build. As much power as I can put down on the assphalt without spinning. Don't need a super street rod, that's asking for jail. But fun and fast :) so far: 2 things: weight reduction and power increase. Deleted passenger seat 60lbs, swapped driver seat for padded rci 70 lbs. spare tire tool and tray 50lbs, spoiler 10 lbs, muffler and res delete 60 lbs, added flowmaster super 10 and resonated tips. Sounds amazing. No drone :) growl. Like a teenager T. rex haha. But also have a pcm swapped 93 tuned Diablo sport upgrade, drop in knn filter. Next all I want to do is do an aluminum driveshaft swap?
    Cleetus McFarland do you think this is safe and durable?
    Also want to get one of these bad boys. 5 extra psi you can switch on trying to show off or do a pass is like a small shot of legal carry nitrous. Just for that extra length on someone. Get me to about 375 at about 3400 lbs. that's hemi power with 800 lbs out of the car. More than enough to show off with :)?
    Cleetus McFarland would you recommend a fuel injector upgrade any? Or would 5 psi run just under lean? The Diablo sport tune makes me run 13.2-13.5afr. Would 5 psi from this put me over? If so would it be safe to upgrade my 285cc injectors to say 350cc? Trying to budget in a toy without breaking the bank lol. But enough to keep up with the hemis and stis in my town.
    Just had an accident 2 days ago. A deer jumped through my open window of my challenger. Damaged my quarter needs replaced, dented door I need pulled, and hood needs straightened back. New side view mirror. The mirror from the deer flew in and gashed my face open 20 stitches, broken nose. Fractured eye socket, few loose teeth and fractured cheek. So now I I have to come up with a 1k deductible for insurance. Or order a new 150 panel, have it painted black, pull the dent, swap the mirror. A total of 400 for my work. Good as new. But whatever once I get this figured out. Back to build.
    I want this turbo for an extra kick for gimmicks. No spare cash for a real supercharger haha. Plus 550 hp would surely cause me trouble haha.

    A smart system for the track would be cool. If it increased throttle input while it needed charging, but it only did it while you were using partial throttle and then exactly balanced the extra engine power with the alternator draw...
    That way the power to the ground stayed predictable and under driver control, but this thing would still charge as fast as possible.

    How does VOLVO use the electric Turbo with a Twin Turbo setup?
    I think they feed the mechanical Turbos to eliminate lag.
    If I'm not mistaken, they make almost 400 HP on a 2,3 liter engine. With no Turbo lag at all.
    The Turbo came from SAAB. Their 2,3 liter engines easily output 300 HP on a single Turbo. The older ones from the SAAB 9000 cars are cast iron with heavy duty internals (and HEMI pistons) and will take a heck of a load of pressure, so you can do poor man's tuning (bigger Turbo, other injectors, new mapping) up to about 600-700 HP on a 2,3 liter with no engine mods. 😄
    Imagine what a sequential Tri Turbo setup with a leaf blower starter like that electric Turbo would output - and how smoothly you could make it deliver that power. No Turbo kick. Just a constant flow of oxygen to that engine. 🤩😎

      Haha, a lot of us have vastly more money into our motors than what the car is worth. Gotta pay to play.
