Electronic Turbo Options

Is this a good buy? or crap?

They might have gained 10hp, but it was LOW in the low RPM band. You see,when the engine gets up in the rpm band, it needs more air than an electric turbo could dream of producing, this is when the engine spins it faster than the electric motor.

The way I was thinking of doing an alectric charger of sorts:

Problem 1: power use

Easy, use a capacitor or two similar to that used in an air conditioner or even an audio system. It won't tax your alternator, and won't draw from your battery,so you get the power basically for free.

problem 2: when to use it.

You could only use it in low rpm's. it's really useless in high rpm's and will just restrict air flow if anything. This is why a larger 3-4" ducted fan would be used.

Problem 3: Why in the hell would I want one?

I think, when this idea is perfected, it will be used in place of nitrous or even with nitrous on cars with large hard-to-spool turbos as a kind of low RPM kick.

As I said, it's possible, but as of now, not economical.

ALTHOUGH, have you guys heard of the new hydrolic turbo system that people have been experementing with?
