[@ryano8613]

Ain't nothin free but MUUURICA....WAIT.

[@blk77sunshn]

Nothings FREE ! BUT, they sure do make a lot of POWER !

[@BigUriel]

It's actually complicated, depends on the operating point of the turbo and how well optimized the engine was to work with it. Turbos cause losses via an increase in exhaust manifold pressure, this pressure is pushing down on the pistons during the exhaust stroke and trying to slow them down. Exactly the same way a supercharger is pulling on the crank hub trying to slow it down. But the exhaust gases are still expanding from the combustion, and when this expansion happens *in* the turbine then the turbo is using energy that would simply have blown right out the exhaust (the exhaust gases simply come out cooler). If the turbo is being used in its peak efficiency zone then you get more "free" energy from the expansion of the exhaust gases than you lose from the backpressure in the exhaust manifold, and the turbo actually increases overall engine efficiency (one of the ways in which turbocharged engines can achieve better fuel consumption). When you push a turbo past it's peak efficiency range though the losses caused by the backpressure can outweigh the gains in the gases expanding in the turbine. This is usually how modded turbocharged cars operate, and why they generally get shit fuel efficiency - an OEM turbo operates at peak efficiency while a modded turbo operates at peak airflow (or as close to it as the tuner can get). An electric supercharger is always a net energy loss when actually used to compress air - it takes more energy to generate the electricity to drive the supercharger than the energy you get back in the compressed air when you power it. However an electric supercharger can use electricity that was produced, for example, by charging the battery during decceleration, like a regenerative braking of sorts, so you're powering the supercharger with energy that you were going to throw away anyway.

[@christophersexton4192]

TLDR

[@george8966]

The battery only charges when the alternator is charging at over 13.8v so really there is no loss as the battery does not charge when the engine is under load. Sure there technically is parasitic loss but you would never notice this driving because it charges up when the alternator is already putting out that electricity and if you don't use it is gone.

Biggest advantage of an electric turbo is the "decoupling" from the engine imo. You can spin the electric turbo at any speed you want anytime you want. For the kind of power you only need occasionally, it makes sense...almost like a nitrous bottle that can fill itself from your alternator. I don't think it would work well for a large truck engine or something, but for a passenger car to have some more oomph for passing or merging or just for fun? It works.

I'm thinking that Subaru may have used them in the 91 through 94 Legacy. Because my dad was a rural letter carrier for years had one of those and when you mash the gas you would hear a high-pitched spinning sound and a light would come on on the dash saying power. After the car had given up the ghost me and my brothers were tearing into it a bit and there's a switch under the accelerator which appears to activate it.

[@Violt_]

​@@eddieschwab864 The power light basically makes the transmission computer change its shift ranges, so when you floor it, that power button comes on, and it'll shift at higher RPM's. And i'm not sure but it should also change ignition timing.

[@Megabobster]

now i'm not saying this is a good idea, but what if instead of accomplishing that decoupling with an electrical system, you did it with a gearbox between the hot side and cold side of a turbo. "my car is so manual that even the turbo is manual"

There are turbos with e-motor between turbine & compressor (connected on the shaft via e-clutch), it has 2 tasks: 1) "recuperating overboost" - slowing down the turbo & generating electricity. 2) spooling up the turbo to avoid lag. It's used in mainly in track cars, known as MGU-h

[@PiousMoltar]

"Mighty Car Mods" I'm listening... "Cleetus" Go on...

[@SvdSinner]

You failed to mention that electric turbos are typically only useful at low RPMs. The compressor's speed doesn't increase with engine speed and can't move enough air for higher RPMs.

Depends the power level of Electric Turbo. Electric motors close to 10kw can have crazy high RPMs and enough air flow to feed a 3.0L or less engine. It just would strangle on large displacement engines. The early legit electric compressors were around 5kw thus why they could not feed the top end.

A few years ago I did a research with a team (non car enthusiasts) about "turbocharging" a Prius. The theory is at low speeds (about 1-15MPH) it has more than enough acceleration with the motors. That acceleration then goes down with the engine kicking in. During the times when the motors are not in use and more power is needed we can use the massive battery to spool up a force induction system to give more power to the engine.

[@phalanx3803]

Thank you for addressing the alternator part I get into arguments with people over electric cooling fans all the time and they refused understand adding electric fans doesn't increase engine power only shifting the load to the alternator other than having a remote radiator the only benefit an electric fan has is you're not adding another flywheel to the engine letting it rev up slightly faster but you're not truly getting any power gains. The only other benefit to an electric fan is you dont need to take it off to replace accessory belts.

While that 10:1 charge:boost time sounds really awful, most of the time you aren't gonna be hooning it at full throttle for 4 minutes unless you're track racing. If you're at the drag strip or just doing some occasional street pulls, that time is more than reasonable. If, for example, you do a 1/4 mile pass in 12 seconds, you're looking at about a 2 minute wait to get that amount of charge back. You'll be good to go by the time you get back to the start line.

It's a solid idea, but it's like a computer in a sense. In the older days you had one CPU handle all the tasks of the computer, now you have multi core processors that handle a lot more and are augmented with a good GPU for graphics. Same for electric turbos. If anyone remembers the Mazda RX-7 had a twin turbo setup. But it actually wasnt a twin turbo, it was a two stage compressor. Low stage for idle up to 2400 rpm's or so, high stage for 2400 rpm to redline. I know it's a very basic explanation, but it does work. Now to get an electric turbo to act as a low stage sounds feasible, but it's part of the whole turbo setup as opposed to acting as the only turbo in the vehicle. It might work in the future as battery and other technology improves, but for a viable aftermarket add on? Not for now, just stick with what works and for now, what works can be either a single, or traditional twin turbo setup. At least until electrics takes over completely.

I have been running a Paxton Novi 2000 with 2 1/2" 8mm belt-drive to a Me 1309 BLDC motor with a 72 vdc system I built for my 87' Camaro with a 1st gen 350 in it for years. It will put out 8 psi on the boost gauge without the engine running, about 5 psi initially with the engine running until the engine's over about 2K RPM. Of course by red-line all the boost is gone; but who cares, your going to shift then anyway. The beauty of it is that the energy is stored in the batteries and strictly on demand; and it takes absolutely nothing off the engine (no appreciable parasitic loss like the Hellcat blower which takes up to 60hp off the crank). Besides, why make boost you don't need? Mine doesn't require intercooling either because there's not the thermal issues associated with turbos. I even built it its own oiling system. The biggest issue though is as claimed and that is power. To get the speed I have to belt up 1 to just over 3 on the input shaft (1 : 3.2). Add that to the internal gearing which is 1 : 3.5 and it pegs a 300 amp meter series-ed in with the controller initially, then it settles down to about 160 amps. That's 11,520 Watts so I use six 12v 50ah AGMs which weigh in at around 200 lbs all together. Considering the unit itself (mounted on the sway bar just in front of the engine) weighs in at just a tad over 100 lbs, it's like having at least a couple of passengers with you every where you go. That pretty well shoots it for drag, but when your already doing 2,500 RPM in OD on the interstate it's dope cause it's instant. I can charge the batteries with six on-board 2A chargers with an inverter on the fly with a complete aux electrical system I built, or just keep it plugged in while the car sits in the garage. Duty cycle is typically less than 15 seconds in use (on the rare occasion I feel a need to use it) so it's fairly easy to keep the batteries topped off which keeps them from sulfating. The only bummer is when a battery breaks down under load. Then I have to go though all six with a load-checker to find which one to R&R. The one's I'm using now are about $100 each too. It can definitely be done; but i sure as hell wouldn't say that it's all that practical.

[@vasilis23456]

You don't need to upgrade the alternator to the crazy amounts mentioned unless you need the electric turbo running all the time. You can use your stock alternator and when you turn the turbo on it's pretty much just as efficient as the car without the electric turbo, (only power gains, no losses from the turbo). So you would make the most peak power from an electric turbo than a normal turbo / supercharger, with the downside of it running only part of the time. Think of it like the MGUK of an F1 car, except that directly powers the wheels. If you upgrade the alternator you can use the electric turbo more of the time for less efficiency, also less power when the turbo is off as the alternator load is still there.

The point of the battery for an electric turbo was kinda glossed over in the calculations. With a supercharger, the parasitic losses are happening at the same time as the compression. An electric turbo system can harvest energy when you're cruising below 100% load and when braking, then do the compression work when you floor it without any instantaneous losses. F1 engines' MGU-H is connected to the turbo's main shaft, so that off-throttle instead of the energy from the exhaust side just being wasted creating useless pressure and heat in the intake, you charge the battery. When you get back on the throttle, draw from the battery to spin up the turbo, eliminating lag. Mercedes's trick was that instead of a traditional turbo with a short shaft (easy to support), spaghetti manifolds and the MGU-H bolted onto the end of the shaft, they made the turbo shaft longer than the engine block, so all the exhaust tubing and the exhaust-half of the turbo are at the back of the engine, and the intake manifold and compressor-half of the turbo are at the front. The MGU-H sits in between the two whirly boyz, down in the valley of the engine block. Simpler tubing, hot and cold kept separate, easier packaging, with the downside of having to precisely balance a very long shaft, and make sure the motor can tolerate the heat.

Here, out at sea, on a big boat, we use some big ole electric turbos on our ship's main engine when the turbocharger can't make enough scavenge (boost) pressure. We've had them since, like the 90s, or something. But our setup isn't exactly typical, because the engine itself is a 2-stroke the size of a cathedral where a human can fit in the crank case or in a cylinder. Same principle though :)

[@mr.k6136]

Ahhh I noticed the price of the turbo in the thumbnail. NICE

[@giancarlo418]

Nice

[@timmorton885]

Actually sounds like a pretty good tool for drag racing. Easier install and 4 minutes is a lot of runs 😅

[@richardmazkin9994]

and, if you hook up the electric turbo to run solely off of an isolated battery (so on a separate circuit) you don't have any horsepower loss from adding load to the alternator. and the charge doesn't need huge. 1-2 minutes of charge would be enough for a day at the track.

We gotta see more of James's 86 tbh O_O

[@themotorsportfanaticyt]

When talking about whether these things are a scam or not, some teams in Formula One actually use electric motors to keep the turbos spinning when the car is undergoing deceleration through a corner

[@chrisrivera2532]

I work at Jaguar Land Rover and a few models have electric superchagers. They look like turbos but the “hot side” is an electric motor. Helps with boost lag and boost at idle. Had to replace one on an F-Pace today

Has there been a donut video on Subarus Symmetrical AWD?🤔🤔🤔 That would make an interesting B2B

[@smahring]

Its all about air restriction vs unit power. Eliminate that by installing the blower with a y-coupling paired with a CAI. Neutralizes the air restriction so engine can breathe normal when not engaged, then add pure boost when activated. Electric does not use exhaust air. So those ebay 12v $500 unit that push 2psi will add about 20-25 hp as long as you don't have any air restrictions.

[@AutoFly]

Great video! In my opinion, the eturbo does help significantly in turbo lag, it may not boost the overall power, but it's just used to mitigate the initial drop in power. But your video was very insightful! Cheers!

[@abalakrishnan4152]

What if you used a fast charging supercapacitor that runs on regenerative braking instead of a 48v battery? When you aren't going too hard on the car, you don't need instant boost so you can use exhaust driven turbines. Only when you are really working the engine do you want the instant boost. I think a supercapacitor would work for this application a lot better than the battery.

Yes please. My current daily is an i35 which was faster than the Mustang GT's of that era.

There is also a german tuner, which implemented an electric turbo in a VR6 powered 1000HP Golf 7. He has a lot of projects like this. Could this a topic you could talk about? 😇 Greetings from Germany

[@Une6sy]

It’s only used to spool up the actual turbo

[@saltysteel3996]

My Duramax runs 46psi of turbo boost. Deleted, EFI live tuned, modded, but still stock turbo and injectors. Close to 600hp and over 1000ft/lbs of torque. I wonder if any electric turbo could keep up with that airflow load requirement.

I was so confused until 4 minutes in when I realized he was talking about electric turbos and not turbos for electric vehicles.

I have a possibly bizarre suggestion but also possibly very cool. We owned a 2010 Ford Fusion hybrid. It was no sports car but 270 combined hrsprs at the wheels could be fun. That had the old lead acid 240v battery hybrid system used on the Escape for 10 years. Later we got a 2015 C-Max and it was markedly quicker and spunkier. They are getting quite a bit cheaper now and lots of parts might crossover from aftermarket Focus or Fusion. Stripping and souping up a C-Max, especially with a battery powered supercharger could be super cool!

[@adamdecurtins3405]

So if you want power on demand, what I'm thinking is that you just install an auxiliary small engine, like a race-kart engine that can do 8,000 plus rpm, has enough torque to push a full grow adult around a track, is light, is relatively cheap, and you belt it up to a compressor. Then you put a paddle on the steering wheel that controls that throttle and boom, you have power on demand.
