Aesthetic_Influx Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Not one to pass up the opportunity to spread a good laugh amongst the car enthusiast community, I submit this gem for approval: http://www.nissanclub.com/forums/general-nissan-altima-discussion-1993-2001/289347-electric-turbo.html (Cliff's Notes: Guy with Altima buys electric turbo "kit" and installs it backwards, posts with pictures, asks why it doesn't work, and then proceeds to argue his stance. LOLs happen, word is spread, and voila.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirks5oh Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 everyone on there should be embarassed:: 1) for not noticing it immediately 2) asking for dyno numbers stating they were interested in a $20 turbo kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamereric1 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Best part is, he put it on wrong then argued. He didn't even look at the ebay pictures rofl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodRed Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 in this pic its hooked up right...and in this pic it is wrong. I think he is just fucking with people. Reading through the posts, he changed the original photos to show he installed it correctly after they started calling him out on it. I think he did honestly hook it up wrong.

CRed05 Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 If that was posted on here, first response post would have been something like "you fucking dumbass, you installed your retarded ass ricer mod backwards, gtfo" there only one guy noticed it was installed wrong on the first page a few posts down...then after him it took a long time for someone else to see it.

hot_wire Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Just for knowledge sake... What kind of pressure could an electric "turbo" like that put out? I'd have a hard time believing anything over 1-2 psi. Also, how large would an electric turbo need to be to flow enough air for a car's engine? I feel like the turbo on his car would be well matched to my 4hp lawnmower... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the turbo on his car would be well matched to my 4hp lawnmower... I believe it was sated that the deal flows 60cfm when the car is turned on. It was also noted that the car passes like 20cfm of air at idle through the intake which is why that was the only time it died with the supercharger sucking air out. I'm not sure theres a direct conversion from cmf to psi though. I'd think there's another variable in there somewhere. I'd say IF you found that variable the rating would be a fraction of 1psi.

Andy So just doing a little math here. Based on the assumption that air flow is proportional to RPM (semi-true), then if the car idles at 1000rpm, and revs to 7000rpm, the car would flow about 140cfm at the rev limiter. Thats an embarassment that this "turbo" can flow less than half of the necessary air to run the engine at high rpm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the turbo on his car would be well matched to my 4hp lawnmower... that thing can't put out much of anything, but there is one legit electric super/turbocharger that exists... http://www.turbomagazine.com/tech/0406tur_knight_turbo_electric_supercharger/index.html http://www.boosthead.com/faq.php as you'll note, it requires a few extra car batteries and can only be used for about 10 seconds at a time, which gives you an idea of how much power you really need to make positive intake pressure in an engine.
