I have always liked the idea of turbo power........
but I can see the problem of having the turbo under the car where cold rainwater can crack the extremely hot metal of the turbo. As I see it, there has to be some lag, just because of the mass involved but the EXPERTS have been working on this for years. The early turbos had a lot of lag but now changes have been made to reduce the problem. That is great.
The power advantage goes un-spoken, but I like the idea that a turbo produces power at a smoother rate than NOS. Instead of just jumping on the rotating mass in an instant, turbo power comes on smooth and don't abuse the bottom end as much as the NOS. Of course, for a street engine, this is a big plus as your engine should last much longer, if you have it set up correctly. |

I'm not advocating a rear mounted system over a standard system, but hang with me on this one...
Out of curiousity, I'm wondering if creating some sort of heat/ exhaust shield would/ could prevent the turbo from exposed elements. I'm wondering if you used a larger diameter exhaust tube, to run your exhaust through as a heat shield, if that would help the temperature to sustain higher levels. Basically, what I'm getting at is that if you could somehow fabricate an enclosure for the exhaust pipes going to the turbo, it could increase exhaust pressure to the turbo. And if you were to make a shield for it that mounted to this exhaust tube shield, it would prevent any elements or air wash over the turbo, to retain it's heat. I think it would be interesting to try, just for the sake of science and lab. It wouldn't be difficult to make an exhaust shield that also housed the turbo from the elements and controlled the temperature more. Heat shields do as much retaining of heat as they do prevent it from escaping and transferring to the rest of the car. I kind of like the idea of having a guard for the exhaust system. It would be as easy as using a few sections of 1/2 larger diameter tubing to surround your pipe. You could even neck it down in spots to weld it directly to the pipe at each end, so it wouldn't rattle. I wouldn't compare this kind of system to a bonified turbo system, but it may work nicely for someone looking to keep their vehicle's engine bay clutter free. One thing that I don't quite understand is why they use a motor for oil return. If you have oil pressure, you have oil pressure. You can't compress fluid, unlike a gas, so pressure will sustain infinately in any length of housing/ tubing. Me thinks that they may use the motor to prime the system. I think it would be interesting to make this system more efficient and practical for use with the aid of heat/ element shields. You could also use inline finned tubing to aid in cooling on the intake tube side. Any amount of volume on the intake side of a turbocharged system is going to drop your pressure, no matter if it's an intercooler or a long tube. The colder your air gets, the more pressure it loses as well, which is unfortunate, because that makes bigger intercoolers less pressure efficient. However, we can't simply dump hot air into our engines and our engines make more power with cold air, because that cold air can and does expand through the engine somewhat, increasing compression, aside from it's benefits in cooling properties. I want to see one of these systems enclosed to see how it would benefit practical use and sustain better heat transfer. I would turbocharge my car, except that I don't like the idea of having two turbos in my engine bay. One is hot enough, not to mention the plumbing/ real estate that it takes up. I don't know, guys, I'm kind of liking this idea if I could get it to work on a street car and sustain more heat transfer. That seems like an easy fix to me. There is plenty of room under there for it. |

I'm not a turbo guru..........
but as I understand it, the reason for using the pump on oiling system is allow for oil pressure on start-up but mostly to keep the system running for a little extra time so the oil don't "coke" when the system shuts off and the oil cooks as it just sits there with the extra heat, which shortens the turbo life spand.

Turbos are gravity return, just like the rest of the engine bearings, there is no pressure to return the oil.
Be sure to calculate how much all these parts are going to grow with the temp increase, over their length. You need to make allowances for the movement, or things will break. |
