homemade turbo

666, you may be on to something. Hey, can somebody get a patent?

does anyone actually have a turboed camaro on this camaro forum?
i just want to know because i personally think it would stomp the shit out of anything, honestly. ive seen one at the track before that was a DD and it ran high 11's to mid 12's consistantly, with street radials.

i have infinite knowledge on turbo parts, or what you would need to turbo a vehicle since i have already done so, if anyone needs help doing it, just pm me sometime, i think a turboed camaro would be bad ass.
i think strykerss has a turbocharged 4th gen, its pretty dam sweet

theres the link to his thread bout it...it's pretty sweet

I just wanted to pop in and clairify a few things. for 1. i dont have a camaro, i have a cavalier 2.3l which is a fair 150hp n/a. not bad for a 4cy. 2 the only reason why i backed the guy on this forum who origionally thought about the electric motor induction is because i didnt know if anybody tried it, i just thought it would be cool if someone did. 3rd i know it wouldnt work, or at least not near what a turbo could dish out. of course your looking for compression and not faster air which is really all your doing with the electric motor, but for someone like me who doesnt want to drop $120 for a steel tube with a conical air filter on the end but has an old cannister vaccum, ac/dc converter, and variable resistor switch (to match the fuel coming in via the throttle cable) then let the image happen. truthfully if it's 5 hp it's 5 hp. remember it doesnt matter if someone wins by an inch or a mile, they still won (please dont call me a ricer, yes i am aware that line was from ff.. god i hate hondas with fart pipes...) funny thing is though i would never put a leaf blower on my intake because the filter couldnt work properly and the nasties would kill my engine.. not a good thing. well l8r everyone

all the leaf blower does is a rube golberg of forced air induction....... granted, it will put more air into the cylinders, but there is only so much uncompressed air the engine can handle..... the turbo uses compression to fit more oxygen into the same amount of space as uncompressed air. you're looking for more oxygen, not just air.........
erm....a turbo is simply a fan that pumps air, a leaf blower is also a fan that pumps air.
The only difference is that a turbo has access to a lot more shaft horsepower [the turbine] to spin the fan [the compressor wheel] than the average electric leaf blower, and so can flow a lot more cfm at a much higher psi than any leaf blower.
Any time a 'fan' is trying to flow more air than the motor is drawing, the intake manifold air pressure goes up = more air in the cylinders + more fuel = more horspower.
Both work on compression of air.

But your absolutey right about the 'rube goldberg' effect!! :lol:
Besides, you would need about a 100 amp alternator to run the thing for any length of time and would only have a small benefit on motors of less than 2 litres capacity.

a turbos power is measured in psi, not cfm........ a leaf blower doesnt compress the air nearly as much as a turbo....... leaf blowers compressors aren't really compressors more like fans....... just move air at a higher rate..... a trubos compressor compresses the air it takes in.........

Ok first you can’t build an electric turbo because turbos work by having one turbine spun by exhaust gases, which spins a shaft, which spins another turbine, which compresses air going in to the engine. Turbos are powered by exhaust gases that’s what makes them turbos.

Second there are real electric superchargers out there and I don’t mean this:

I mean this:

The fact that even it has limited performance compared to a belt driven supercharger should prove that a shop vac is a complete waste time and money. If you want to make your car fast without spending much money get a Nitrous kit.

a turbos power is measured in psi, not cfm
not quite true, look at a compressor map for any turbo, one of the axis is horsepower or cfm or lb/min. horsepower = cfm = lb/min airflow
eg http://www.m-p-c.com/turbomap.htm


leaf blowers compressors aren't really compressors more like fans

I understand what you saying, but the fact is that air will only move when there is a pressure difference. The only reason a turbo set to produce [in this example] 15 psi produces that pressure is because its trying to move twice as much air as what the engine wants at any particular rpm under naturally aspirated conditions. The only way it can do that is by doubling the manifold pressure from 1atm absolute to 2atm absolute = 15 psi boost [approx].
If you could disconnect the outlet from a compressor from the outlet pipe, the pressure would drop to near zero but at near twice the cfm.

...who are you people?

Here is a revised version of a existing saying

"Winning a race with a leaf blower is like winning the special olympics, even if you win your still retarded."

Oh and just to be technical and annoying...a shop vac or leaf blower would be considered more of a supercharger instead of a turbo....but im just bored as crap and have nothing to do with my time but point stupid stuff....

on a serious note....paxton is/was putting out electric motor driven superchargers which I think is pretty cool....

97's mom can blow like no other....put a hose from her mouth to the throttle body......let me tell you

that is why you always see my mom bent over my hood,lol

that is why you always see my mom bent over my hood,lol
my moms better at sucking than blowing :(

you guys are sick....

Some kids acutally dynoed a leaf blower on a newer Civic Si. They got like 10hp. I guess its possible to make your own 'turbo' contraption, but it would be more of a hassle than just buying a real one...

it wouldn't be considered a turbo.......... more of a ram jet..... like the sr71...............

97's mom can blow like no other....put a hose from her mouth to the throttle body......let me tell you
That maybe true, but you also have to consider things like weight and aerodynamics. Would the car actually perform better with or without her?:D

you guys are sick....
This is also true, but the important thing to remember is a woman giving a Camaro BJ would be classed as a supercharger, not a turbo.:lol:

That maybe true, but you also have to consider things like weight and aerodynamics. Would the car actually perform better with or without her?:D
ahh.....that big ole ass and 260+ lbs would slow me down eh....time to !interior

it wouldn't be considered a turbo.......... more of a ram jet..... like the sr71...............

Explain how you would compare a turbo to a freaking spy jet, please

werd

ok crackheads..... learn to read........ i WAS NOT comparing a TURBO to a ramjet........ the damn leaf blower....... which IS NOT a turbo....
thank you have a nice day...........

well then how is a ram jet relevant to a survellience jet..

lets see, the sr71 blackbird's engines are ramjet engines......... so, that's how i can compare a ramjet to a spy plane.........

damn, every new person that comes along thinks they run this place...ugh

damn, every new person that comes along thinks they run this place...ugh

Yeah.. oh well.

yep...time to start kicking some ass

We were all like that when we were newbs too........
Dont deny it.......

shew....rally's still like that

lol....hes a newb at heart

werd

and a whore...

not once did i act like i run the place. i was just stating my opinions. so, fuck off and have a nice fucking day

shew....rally's still like that

...I do run the place *Points to post count* :p

Also, bob, you act like you run the place because you have an attitude in explaining stuff when we dont see crap as clearly as you do since I dont remember the SR71 having ram jets off the top of my head.

ok, so you run the place....... ya want a freakin cookie??????

so, do you guys not do any research before you open your mouths???????

my apologies if any of you got butt hurt over my posts

chill out

all i was trying to do was explain shit, if ya guys would actually read a post, then maybe i wouldn't have gotten "excited"........ my apologies.......

Its all good bro........patience........

Explain.....dont complain.........

ok... so let me get this straight... a leaf blower, which uses an electric fan to take staionary air and move it at a somewhat high velocity, is like a ramjet, which has no moving parts and uses high velocity air as a compressing agent to be ignited and produce thrust? ok. the similarities are uncanny

Should I laugh now or later?

Should I laugh now or later?
sarcasm?

sarcasm?
Dont worry......when it gets this late I refuse to say anything logical.......
lol

ok, so you run the place....... ya want a freakin cookie??????
:owned: i was just kidding, for the record now.......don't take anything i say seriously unless it's painfully obvious i'm being serious

BTW, I would like my freaking cookie now, thank you..

haha...mmmmmm cookies

i wanna cookie :crying:

rally ate them all :/

just rig up some kind of air compresser to run off the car's pulley, or turn the smog pump into the intake,lol. Or get a big air holding tank and put it in the trunk of your car and run a hose to your intake and paint the tank like a huge bottel of nos,lol. That is some rice there.

O yea? Well i got alll the milk, bitch! lets see how u enjoy them cookies now

Girls, girls, girls!!! LMMFAO!! WTF??? I take off a half a day and it becomes like a bad period bitchy day fest in here....

We ALL know, AND IT IS A LAW OF PHYSICS, that if you give Earl the cookies Rally was supposed to get, strap him on the hood, and run a tube from his ass to the intake... you be pushing at LEAST 1500 HP from the methane he would produce which would flow of a constant rate (minimum) of 238 PSI for approximately 35 minutes per cookie. Forget turbo-chargers, supercharges (roots style or centrifugal), NOS, leaf blowers, blow jobs, etc. FARTS, specifically DOG FARTS are the key to the ultimate in horse power. And if you REALLY want some kick ass, blow up the world power, let my 2 year old feed him a bag of snausages after he eats Rally's cookies. SR71? that sumbich would look like a glob of snot running down a piece of 80 grit sandpaper on an early Michigan January morning compared to the Earl-minator equipped Maro.

hahaha...methanol forced induction

it wouldn't be considered a turbo.......... more of a ram jet..... like the sr71...............
A Ram Jet works like a Ram Air setup on a car. The vehicle’s speed pushes air into the intake. So putting a leaf blower on a car would not make in like the SR71. It would make it a car with a weak to the point of being useless electric supercharger.

Earlminator! Thats awesome..

i'd have to agree.....my rottweiler hurt her foot and was inside for 3 months, i've never smelled worse farts ever....even beat me!

here, everyone sit down and have a funny...
