What type of gerbil are you running? my guinea pig just crapped out on me the other day.

I believe the west african cotton tail would be used in his scenario. I hear they can produce up to 50 ponies and run for days on end!

P.S. E-turbo/charger = fail.

Just keep feeding it, so it won't die on you.

The biggest problem about these are the amp's that are required for a decent motor. Not only will you need to get a bigger battery but probably a second one and bigger alternator. So will the weight to extra power gain (if any) might not be worth it. A compressor spinning at 50,000 RPM is about 6-9lbs to get the compressor spinning you will need some torque on the electric motor, and to get it to spin up 50k rpms you will need some how to gear it to spin up to that rpm. Sounds doable but with a lot of factors. Something that I have never looked into would be adding some type of compressor to each air intake slot. It would require less from the motor and compressor if you are going to be using multiple compressors. This should also require less torque and rpms from the motors to make the same about of boost, but more weight once again and also a lot of custom piping, TB's, and the list goes on. Remember guys the ideas that were most laughed when brought up are usually laughed because it's not understand or by people who hate change. I love new ideas! But like anything new there are a lot of bugs to work out.

Just a little something for all the electric turbo non-believers! It's real and it works....

Pretty epic post there. Unless I missed the page, or you posted the wrong link, it mentions absolutley nothing about "electric turbos"...... it mentions electronic controlling of various valves within the compressor and turbine housing to decrease lag. But uh.... nothing about electric motors to actually produce positive pressure....

Actually it does.... electronically assisted. As In it pre-spools the turbo to eliminate lag. So while it's not solely an electric turbo per-say... It is a functional electric motor built into the compressor of a standard turbo.

Garrett has also developed an electrically assisted turbocharger that doesn't rely solely on exhaust gas flow energy. At low engine speeds, an electronically controlled electric motor responds to engine load and boosts the turbo up to high-pressure speeds. At high engine speeds that produce enough exhaust flow to spin the turbo's turbine, the overrunning motor can be used as a supplementary generator for the vehicle's electrical system.

Just stick a leaf blower in the intake: 10% more power

so how do you manage to double your torque at low rpm. thats better then any turbo i have ever seen. im getting 2 of those. no im gonna make a custom ITB setup with a blower per cylinder. then change my license plate to "e trbo mn"
Let n = number of fans, and != infinity, then LIM ( HP )n->! = 100 hp
