Great to see you again brother! I love the AI nonsense. Got some good laughs! Will you be putting your electric compressors on the market? I need to twin charge something and have enjoyed watching your journey. God bless! Слава Україні!

Why not quickly bolt another e-charger on your current car in compound setup. Then use something cheap like a draggy meter to extrapolate the power gains? Would be more relatable scenario for the masses and be heaps cheaper than buying a dyno and setting up some huge triple compound setup no one will over do? Meth injection between the stages would also be great. Also wouldn't smaller motors make better use of the e-charger? Boost is more efficient than cubes and compression (to an extent) I'd think something like a modern 230 cube straight 6 or similar smaller motor would allow you to run much more boost. Just a suggestion, love the content.

It makes sense why the intercooler vs. aftercooler has such benefits. Regain the air density after the first stage of compression and then right into that second stage. The increase to the boost at the intake manifold should be noticeable.

Yes, torque is a force. 1ft-lb is 1lb on a 1ft lever. Torque: How hard you can twist something. Horsepower: How quickly you can twist it that hard, repeatedly. Car A: High torque, lower horsepower. It'll feel very responsive and quick off the line, but might not be as fast at higher speeds. Car B: Lower torque, higher horsepower. It might feel a bit slower to get going, but will accelerate strongly once it's moving and will have a higher top speed. A Dyno measures torque with a load cell just like a torque wrench. It measures it throughout your rpm range. Horsepower is how fast you can deliver that torque/force over time/distance. Get it? Got it? Good! 🤓👍

Interesting concept... Electrically driven turbo... All the boost, zero exhaust restriction & zero heat sink in the turbo. Much less plumbing, & use conventional N/A exhaust. I wonder if you could connect two turbos on the same electric motor, & plumb one turbsky into the other, for your compound idea. Installed directly in front of a Holley Hi-Ram setup, with a Tick Performance Air/water 'brick' intercooler. On a side note, what do you think about putting a AC compressor on the engine, with cooling coils inside the air/water tank, and add a fuel loop inside the tank. I'll bet the AC compressor would cool the cooling water, cold enough that you'd need to run antifreeze in the tank. I suggest this for two reasons... Cold air is denser air, denser air has more oxygen per cubic foot. More oxygen equals more fuel, more fuel, equals a bigger bang. Hope my description isn't too complicated with all the 'cool's' used to describe what I'm talking about. I have one more suggestion, as you are exploring high boost pressures. Typically, high boost suppresses the spark plugs ability to generate a large, hot spark. I have a simple way to turn a MSD 6AL ignition from a High voltage, low amperage (conventional pulsed DC spark), into a 'plasma' ignition source (high voltage and high amperage). The spark kernel in the plasma spark is exponentially larger than a traditional spark, therefore, the fuel burn will happen faster, which will reduce the necessity for timing advance (advance timing is actually a drag on an engine, as ignition spark before TDC, the early explosion is trying to slow or reverse the piston, which is a loss of power). I have a short video of my demonstration of a plasma ignition system you can view here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJXEnHikbpd2l7M

There was no mention of the air volume at the atmospheric turbo doubling in a compound turbo setup. Equal size compound compressors would typically be a triple turbo setup. 2 into 1. Makes the sizing easy...

To answer your thumbnail = 15 psi lol. I can only imagine how many think it makes 30 psi cause you’re getting 15 psi from each turbo. Twins just spool faster. Bigger single is technically more efficient but lazier.

I feel like a hub dyno is what you need for this level of repeatable experiments.(and maybe a manual tranny test car)but a engine dyno would probably do it too. while simpler to setup the pluming and work on the engine. would it cost less to build a dyno room for an engine dyno or a hub dyno they if all else fails could probably be sold used.

So, cutrently have a 55lb/min turbo, snallish for the engine. Add one of the electric tuebos feeding it in a compound matter. So, snall exhaust driven turbo spools, electric tuebo kixks it. 3kish, nakes power. How would you go about sizing the electric turbo?
@AlexLTDLX
@AlexLTDLX 12 сағат бұрын
Right now, from a practical perspective in my opinion, there's really only one option - that's the p2/castle setup. There's an intersection of availability, technological limits and costs. There are theoretically many ways to go - like the Sledgehammer. But that's just not financially worth it, tbh. The P2/Castle setup (with Hobbywing ESC) is the closest we can currently get to that intersection, and will work on most engines - by the sound of it, yours included. I'm trying to help a lot of people go in different directions (electrifying PD blowers - too much inertia and too big; or small turbos - too high an RPM required, and electronic switching losses and simply mechanical challenges running that high of an RPM always seem to lead to problems). This setup would work with your existing turbo or on it's own.

I was where you are... I was thinking about the next evolution of my Mustang. I had come to the compound boost side of things... I wanted better drive ability and a better top end as well. Was looking at a smaller turbo and then a huge turbo to blow into it. But I decided to scrap the idea... I think compressed air supercharging is better. From the info that I found, the CAS makes more power for each lb of boost. At 4500 psi, divide that by 14.7 equals way more atmospheres than we'll ever be able to use. So yeah, gonna take the easy route. Plus, way cooler charge temps. And less resistance to fuel types.

CAS is interesting, to be sure. Having a pressure vessel like that in my car would scare me (I also don't like nitrous for that reason). But it does work and has it's own advantages - particularly the charge temps. Figure out a way to recharge it while driving, and you'll be golden.

More accurately, gear reduction can multiply torque. In other words, a higher horsepower engine can be geared to gain more torque. Gearing a higher torque engine cannot gain horsepower. Torque output at the wheel is the what is actually accelerating the car. F=MA, Torque=F... Gearing does have associated losses. So ideally you want the least amount of gearing to achieve the output torque you want.

odd question, but as a cheap bump in power would an EDF blowing into the electric supercharger be worth it? they are pretty cheap, use less power than the big centrifugal and even at a 1.2 pr it could see nice gains overall for the price. another aspect would be the ease of getting parts, and the wider range. I've seen people try to EDF an N/A car and get a few percent gains but compounding might be something interesting to look at, just throwing out ideas lol.
