Thank you for being the first person to ever address the parasitic losses of a turbo!!! yes I understand they are more efficient, but I'm sick of people saying it's free power haha. love your videos!!

[@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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Please do an up to speed on Infiniti

[@nicolascrescimone]

Why? They suck

[@SvdSinner]

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

when james passes away we better get a “mowe powah baby” compilation in memory of him

[@MrSachasan]

Jp Performance uses one on his “supergolf “, to spool up the big turbo when he comes out of corners, or for race start. So you always need just like 0,1-0,2 sec off E-Boost at a time. The car goes like hell.

Canaan is also my youngest sons name. He's 21 and serving in the NG. Proud of that boy.

[@speedyblacksheriff]

I love the price of the turbo in the thumbnail $420.69 lol

Good thing they talked you into doing this episode

[@WowItzAkina]

If you think about it, an aftermarket Electric turbo would be practical on vehicles like the 6th gen Celica GT/90s Camry, with the 5sfe engines, if you don’t want to swap/do exhaust work. Vehicles where you’d be running low boost anyway. I’m thinking of doing one and down tuning the turbo motor so it only pushes 5-7psi *max* maybe find some way to make the turbine spin without as much KW power needed. I’ll edit this comment and maybe post of a video when I do!!

[@yannickeisenbach511]

Check out Jp Performance and his "Supergolf" he has an electric turbo in it. This thing is crazy

[@shounaksarkar7835]

Ah my lifeline💕

[@JaredR1996]

Funny to think that the only person I’ve seen use electric turbos is Cleetus 😅

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.

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

[@joshuapascu1758]

Iv learned more from donut 🍩 media than automotive school 🤦

Don’t say that man, I wanna enroll.
