I was looking thru the new HCI magazine and i came across 2 new forms of turbo induction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Squires Turbo Systems (STS) The first being a new idea first tested on an Acura Integra (go figure) , but it had outstanding results. The turbo setup was situated in the back of the vehicle, under the wheel well!! Where the muffler was supposed to be, the turbo, filter and wastegate were located......... Acura Integra STS Turbo Assembly ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The second interesting new induction method was created by Cry02, it basically utilzes compressed carbon dioxide gas to power a compressor similar to the compressors that are found on turbo setups. Looks like it could have potential, however finding information on it is becomming a loss for now, ill update when i find more on it. |

Simple -
Exhaust gas blows on the turbine making it spin Hot and Pressurized air makes the turbine spin faster. And since you don’t seem to grasp the idea that your exhaust pipe really doesn't dissipate heat like you think, I’ll say it again. The spool time between the two is roughly the same. You’re arguing that this is a bad design. Sometimes it’s the only design. Hell the new LF-A has the radiators in the back! Sometimes odd designs must come into play to make things to work. The difference between to two is small, and also, maybe the difference is made up because all that heat you talk of is in the back far away from the intake. ![]() -Ti |
