Why would you want a turbo just to drive a small electric motor?

Now then forgive my ignorance but i dont know a huge amount about turbos. Cant they spin up to about 40,000rpm? If so, i might send him a message for some details/trolling lol

Yeah it would have been a deciding factor lmao

Turbos can see up to 120k on compressor maps though. Maybe not advisable but they do do those kinda speeds

Garrett say their turbos usually spin 100,000 - 140,000 rpm, sure i read it somewhere or I'm imagining it

As im sure your aware, a conventional turbo charger can spin upwards of 70,000rpm when on boost. Can you confirm that this motor is capable of meeting such high demands or is it quite a low powered motor?

thanks

Wait for a reply Big Grin

the power draw from the electric motor would be considerable, so much so that I expect there would be a gain in bhp.

like those inline fan thingys

Dont know if they gave up on the idea but i know BMW were experimenting with a tri turbo engine for the new m3 one of which was electric. Problem is, the motor needs to be so powerful, its drawing about 80amps so needs a major major alternator on it! Or possibly a second alternator just to drive the turbo.

Yeah but MightyCarMods tried it with a Datsun iirc and they strapped two leaf blowers to it and it worked.

So FU science.
