at what rpm whould a turbo start to produce boost? how many psi of boost would 2,400 rpm's produce?

 

It depends on the size of the Turbo and many other things.

 

i am looking at some high speed electric motors to make a custom electric turbo (i know what your thinking "go with a real turbo, electric ones will break you engine)but this is a custom one witch i am making the housing and METAL fins (no plastic involved). i found one 3 speed auto shifting motor that gets up to 1750rpm's and also found a helper motor for bicycles that is one speed that gets up to 2,400rpm's, i think i'm going to go with the one speed since i'd rather not have a turbo that shifts. lol

 

somebody help me out please

i'm not re-inventing it, i'm up-grading it. giving it a little boost.lol

 

No.

Go read some books.

 

Uhh, you're going to spin the compressor with an electric motor?

You do know that engine rpm has nothing to do with turbine shaft rpm, right? Turbos routinely spin at 60,000-100,000 rpm.

 

not the electric turbo thing again!...

 

I love these posts

 

i hate these posts... although... electric turboz 0wn

 

i say go with the TOROcharger!

You know you can save yourself a lot of time if you just go to ebay and buy your electric turbo charger there.

 

uhhh 1700 rpms? do you have any idea how fast a turbo spins?!!

 

Dude, you might as well just connect a pipe from your throttle body to your subwoofer box port. You'll prolly get 3x the MAD POWAH over a fan spinning at 1750 RPM's.

WHAT THE HELL!?!?!?!

**punches hole into monitor**

 

ahaha

as for the Torocharger...toro = bull so you have the bullshitcharger.

how appropriate.

 

Since you want to know how fast the turbo is spining, and i have been through this quest also...A rough sum of 90K to 125K RPM's.

You would be impeading the airflow to the engine @ 1750RPM's

Sorry.

 

Do a search... you would need an electric generator as big as your primary engine to power an electric turbocharger motor. Might as well take advantage of the exhuast pressure that just gets wasted anyways, unless you like the idea of a second engine in your trunk powering your turbo.Anything less is not going to work.

 

ROFL!

 

Wow, it's amazing how everyone is a goddamned electrical engineer on here
I will agree that the electric turbocharger is a waste of time, but I saw one that actually made about 3psi on a v6! and no, it wasn't that crap on ebay. it was some crazy electric motor hooked up to the compressor side of a turbo, so like a vortech supercharger, really...just had to through that out there, again
