Toyota turbo technology research

Postby KinLoud » Fri Feb 20, 2009 8:58 pm

Really interesting!

Discussion of an electric motor integrated into the turbo to help spool it up from low rpm.

Compounding turbos - small and large turbos in series... small blow into large...

I used to think that the orange and green tictacs gave you special powers. The orange ones would make you stronger and the green ones would make you faster. So i used to eat some green ones and run around my lounge as fast as i could, then eat the orange ones and try to pick up the sofa. I wish it were true!

Nice, cheers!
No "stance", no "hellaflush", none of that bullshit. Nothing but no grip on full boost.

I have an idea with that system, make the electric motor operate at ~500v then the current will be manageable. When the turbo spools down at the right condition (so it will only happen under engine braking) capture that energy back into super capacitors...
