This is essentially my design only with the turbo feeding the supercharger. I'm starting to realize nobody shares my vision and I'm getting little advice that is benefitting my progress. This project is mostly for the fun of it however I have spent a lot of time researching and am reaching a...
I guess I didn't clarify this will not be for low end grunt. Merely throttle response as the car will live in high rpm's on the track. If it was a street car you would be absolutely right about the positive displacement being better suited. The car will stay above 5000 rpm's on track with my...
If someone can find an electric supercharger for less than $600 that can do 40 lb/min at 25 psi reliably I'm all game. To my knowledge this does not exist.
Bear in mind I am constructing this supercharger for only $600 not including my time. The first endeavor of the project was to build a proprietary supercharger using a turbo compressor and wheel as a possible drive system for a cheap diy supercharger kit. A series of compressor adapters may make...
Just a little update on the project. I have begun construction on the supercharger using a Borg Warner S475 compressor cover and wheel with a custom gear housing and shafts. Bear in mind the compressor in the picture is not Borg Warner it is only for demonstration. The final design will have a...
To reiterate again I'm already building a Centri so I'm not going to use an electrical supercharger if I do twincharge. This is the only system I am considering because I have the resources already and I am committed to finding a solution with these components even if its not most ideal. I want...
I have another concept. What if I designed the performance of the supercharger to have similar performance to the turbo with respect to rpm and use it as a replacement for the turbo until it spools up and then is bypassed the same way. This way I can do away with a clutch and keep max boost at...
Thank you guys for all the input. I really appreciate it. To clarify the goal of this project is to explore the interactions of this design idea and how complex it would need o be. I am willing to spend the time to create a system that may start with a rough transition and refine the smoothness...
I have no industrial experience outside of my own garage. I consider myself humble about my current knowledge and am seeking advice on an idea I've had difficulty finding information about after extensive research.
What I'm exploring is the feasibility of a twin charged engine using a turbo...
