Hybrid twin turbo 2002.

[Dudeland]

While sitting in Toronto, under the most extreme lockdown in North America, I am bored as all get go.  So while watching donut media I had a bit of an idea.   Hybrid turbo for the 2002.   

 

Purely for the challenge of it, I wonder if you could put an electric turbo inline with a conventional turbo to eliminate the lag that people typically associate with a conventional turbo.  Audi is doing it on some of the new stuff.

 

From a programming standpoint it is a single input (on or off).  Just trying to wrap my head around the plumbing and boost control mechanisms. I am thinking a PLC to control the boost on the electric turbo.

 

The electric turbo could tuck in just before the throttle. 

 

Weight... yes, but the space between rear strut towers could hold the battery. 

 

Crazy.. yes.. but it could work.

You have too much time on your hands.

 

Go buy something that barely runs-  it's what I do!

You are probably right.  But it would be cool to say that you have a twin turbo bmw 2002

Drop RB26DETT in and call it a day. Maybe rhd car would be better starting point but then there is ”forced” opertunity to go rack and pinion... and...

Currently F1 cars run a hybrid turbo with a electric motor to provide boost when the exhaust output is too low, you may be able to source one probably for the price of a nice house in Vancouver more or less.

No, the electric turbo style supercharger will not make enough boost to make it worth it. Also once the real turbo spools the electric one will just be in the way.

 

RoadKill tried boosting an engine with multiple electric leaf blowers, their conclusion was not worth it.

 

If you want twin turbos get a n54 motor and transmission.

Taking a look a the qualifying today, Alpha Tauri might have some scratch and dent models for sale shortly.

Heh.  And a scattershield...

the exhaust manifold swallowed the turbo like a python swallowing a rat...

I've debated this in my head.  I've read a few people use these with no IACV.  You'll have to pedal it while it warms up.  Come to think of it, I'll likely add one.  I have each intake runner plumbed to a vacuum block.  So adding a IACV would be easy enough...

 

I'll let you know on the manifold.

I am a techie,  so my old broken junk looks more like this. I did a purge and I am neck high in e-junk that I can't get rid of because we are in lockdown. 

 

What is that thing, it looks like an Argo.  What is with the hydraulic drive.  Does it skid steer?

Oh, my, yes, I do see your point- pinball machines may leak less, but they still take up a lotta room!

 

Davis trencher- it articulates in the middle.   Watch your toes!  This one came with a 

'vibratory plow' which sounds...  well, you know.

I was bored.

[Vicleonardo1]

Yes, I see it now. 

Toby: "Honey I am going downtown to get some milk, eggs some wheat bread and a trencher. Do you want anything?" 

 

Cuz everyone needs a good trencher. 

 

Cheers!
