Turbochargers rob your engine of power....

[Ckanderson]

Says this guy...

Pardon my lack of auto experience but powering a turbocharger off the exhaust pressure sounds like a really, really stupid idea. Don't throw your keyboard out the window yet, just read this. Yeah it's a place to get power from but OMG when people want to make a car faster, they don't block up the exhaust more, they let more through it. Yes of course it eventually results in more power and speed but why take 2 steps forward and one step back? Plus it just sounds incredibly hard on your engine.
So this begs the question, hasn't anyone ever built a "hybrid" turbocharger?

You know how hybrid engines use part electricity from a battery and part gas to make the car go? Well why not put in a second battery on your non-hybrid car and power the turbocharger off that? And don't hook it up to the alternator (duh). Just drive till it runs out and recharge it at home. A decent battery would last a couple hours powering just one turbocharger and you could charge it in probably 2-6 hours. I won't get into the whole replace your sunroof with a solar panel to charge it instead of an alternator topic which is also a good idea though So then technically your car would sort of be driven by a gasoline and electrical hybrid system. Hasn't anyone ever tried that?! It would result in going a hell of a lot faster than stealing the equivilant amount of energy from the exhaust pressure and thus the engine.

[kabanimk3supra]

because turbos rob your motor of power, you should take them all of and send them to me:evil2:

 

[Poodles]

I wish they hadn't closed the thread, I would have posted that we're laughing at you around the world now...

 

[Doward]

I just had an aneurysm, reading what CK quoted.

 

[OneJoeZee]

wtf are you all talking about? His logic seems sound.

I'm gonna get in touch with this guy and learn more. You'll all see.

 

[Poodles]

so twins rob more power?

that would explain the 1J's lack of torque....

*keep in mind I'm just fucking around and this guy is an OBVIOUS tool*

turbo efficence is up in the 90% range, so obviously they work. He also doesn't understand the concept of being off boost and getting better gas milage...
