I know my statement sounded kinda bad, "never got around to it" kinda thing but its true I do stand behind it pushing 10-15 (probably more tward 10, but I cant back that up, its just what i felt it push. The only dyno I know of thats worth going to is 40 miles south, and I had no free time for that.
basicly all the thing was, is a fan, powered by a elecctric RC motor, now for thoes that dont know, RC motors can run Extreamly fast with minimal current. in reality all a reg turbo is, is a fan pushing air into the motor, the fact that its powerd by the exhaust or a batt really makes no diff (with the exception that a reg turbo spools up and then helps pull the exhaust as well.) thinking about it, the idea of an electronic turbo could (maybe) be better in that if you can push enough air with the fan to create boost you would have far more control over your motors HP output because you can easaly change how much boost you want and when, with a very simple system. Side note: I'm not saying some cheap turbo would ever be as good as a reg turbo, but just dont think it can do nothing for your motor. -------------------- |
