Talk about cheaply turbo-ing a 5sfe, BADDDDDDD Options

at least its a 5th gen owner.

im amazed there is even a debate about these things..lol

Me too, but probably for different reasons.

CelicaST, you who I'm talking about when I say, "if the right person decided to make a e-turbo." Have you considered running a separate alternator hooked to its own battery to supply power? If you could get a belt system working with the turning of the fan, you could run multiple electric motors on it. This would probably be more complicated than making a supercharger, but it would prove a point. Any time you have innovations there are always very reputable skeptics. Skeptics are very important to the advancement of science. They make it so we have to prove everything thoroughly. I deal with them on a daily basis. After dealing with them for so long, it's almost irritating to see the things people say with no proof. People can say and believe anything they want, but the only thing that real is things that are proven. Weather its skeptics or researcher. If the skeptics say this is wrong, I challenge them experiment and prove it is false. If nothing else, provide scientific evidence to back up your theory. The science to this is simple. How much air can an electronically driven fan push? If it's more than a car can take in, it will pressurize. The practicality is the only thing in question in my mind. That is what you are for CelicaST. Please prove this one way or the other.

well thank you. "Have you considered running a separate alternator hooked to its own battery to supply power? If you could get a belt system working with the turning of the fan, you could run multiple electric motors on it." sorry i dont understand the benefit or what you mean by either of those two ideas and both sound to complicated to the point where it would be more difficult to install than a typical setup. main benefit of such a electronic setup would be installation ease. well when im a senior i hope to, but first i would have to get this project approved by the ME department. sounds like they would since it involves thermodynamics, electronics, fluid dynamics, and pretty much anything else i could think of.

oh and this statement "How much air can an electronically driven fan push? If it's more than a car can take in, it will pressurize." is true, however, it will only produce a pressure gradient that the motor can sustain, aka high pressure gradient=high power. a tiny weak motor might pump a lot of air say in open air but once the outlet pressure rises in relation to the inlet pressure, it becomes harder for that motor to pump air in. IN CONCLUSION, dont buy an eturbo! they are scams and a complete waste of money.
