SleeperZ Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 This auction is for an electronic turbo that has the capability of producing over 600cfm when used with the right set-up OMFG. 600cfm. Ya, right, with 0psi pressure. Try 10 cfm at 1 psi. Can you say "intake restriction"? This auction is for the turbo only beacuse everything you need to install can be obtained at a local hardware store very inexpensively Yeah, including the squirrel cage "turbo". I have nothing against people making a buck. Let the buyer beware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 I would bet money that at full throttle that thing would turn into a turbine and charge a battery. Better yet hook it to the tail pipe to keep the battery charged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denny411 Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 here is another electric turbo, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1846213034 This same guy is selling a butt load of these. "WooHoo twin turbos for under $200 beans" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 We are in the wrong business!!!! once you get to his web page click on view seller's other items. I have a 21 foot Bayliner out back I am parting it out!!!! How much is a bilge pump worth to keep our floors from getting wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAW Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 Yeah Dave you're probably right. I had a wind-powered generator on my 1939 Luscombe (airplane) that kept the battery charged for radio & lights use; items that weren't on it originally, and it had no provision for engine-mounted generator or starter (magneto ignition, hand-prop start). The generator hung down on a bracket under the plane and its small prop was turned by being pushed through the air. Maybe I should have explored switching it into a motor mode to help with the short-field take offs (the engine was only 65hp). An electric turbo doesn't sound very efficient, but how about a driveshaft-driven compressor for filtered pressurized air stored into tanks which could augment a conventional turbo system, especially with valving to distribute the stored charge to combat turbo lag...DAW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 I think that most important would be a exaust driven vaccum pump to run the brake booster when that electric turbo charger has developed full boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockjaw Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 Is the guy hiding bidders names yet? They had a guy on another major DSM board that busted one of these guys be emailing the winner and telling her she was essentially a "dumb ass". After that, they started hiding the bidders names. Read feedback on the people before you bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 Hennessy has dropped the Viper line and gone into turbos full time. I wonder if you can get a twin turbo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
