Need input on fast spooling turbo

I was wondering how much would you paid for a turbo that spool faster than a ball bearing turbo and it boost 1 lb. at idle? I think it spool 2k-3k rpm faster than ball bearing turbo. Please let me know what think?

I know I'm a little crazy but what if there's a turbo that does it? How much would you be willing to paid for like a gt42 that gets full boost faster 2-3k rpm than a gt42r?

Is this like: "How much is Alien technology worth?" What you are talking about is a radical technology jump which would make small turbos obsolete and lag a thing of the past. You have an idea that you would care to share or is this pie in the sky thinking?

Three wheel turbo? Third wheel driven by engine oil pressure.

So make a GT42R turbo spool FULL BOOST to 31 lbs at 3200 rpms all turbo, NO NITROUS, NO Twin charged supercharger/turbo setup, No antilag off line etc.......please let us know, we arent talking wimpy boost levels here, if you run a 42R, you are running big boost to be in that turbos efficiency range anway

I'm not saying that you would get full boost 31lb at 3200 rpm but there's a way to make it spool faster than a ball bearing. All I want to know if there's a turbo that does spool 1lb. at idle and spool alot faster than a ballbearing what do you think it's worth? I can't get into the details but all I want to know if it'e worth an investment.

i remember hearing about a turbo that had an accessory clutch that was belt driven off idle to help spool it up and give better low end response, once the engine RPMs started to kick up the clutch is released to let the exhaust kick in.

no idea if what you are implying is related to this idea but i would like to hear this radical idea.. i do hope you realize you open yourself to serious ridicule here though.

Is it a factory 12AT turbo bolted into a Full-house 20B PP?

That would probably make fullboost at idle! and then die in its **** by 200rpm off idle

James isn't pulling your leg guys. We are currently developing a turbo with these qualities for the Rx7 specifically. We are working with a company who has over 25 years of turbo manufacturing and repair experience. The turbos when in moderate sizes will have no lag at all and will hold a small amount of boost at idle and will reach higher levels of boost almost instantly.

I already have seen the development of these turbos for H-D motorcycles, and the end result of a well tuned machine with this setup. Stay tuned to development for Rx-7's. James is prototyping one for later release!

I'm sorry I can't go into details on how this is possible, but the technology isn't patented yet.

Josh

I been here for a long time and I wouldn't my reputation on a line if it's not proven. Like coxxoc I could give details about it until the inventor of the turbo lets me.

Well then you need to contact SAE and NASA, because currently ALL FREE TURBINES LAG.

Sorry, I spent all of my money on college where I learned about things like inertia. However, I wish you the best of luck with your scam.

Here is video proof of a vehicle that this system has been equipped on:

http://myweb.cableone.net/joshcox86/...rbocharger.mpg

This is on a Dodge ram dually. Notice the boost when it is idling. 3-4lbs sound good when your normally in vacuum? Mash it, and within a very short time it is over 30lbs of boost They feel a lot like a supercharger, but without the disadvantages.

I completely understand being weary of the promises of this turbo. I know when I was first approached, it thought it was impossible. I'm a believer now and James and I are ready to put in some time to develop the perfect setup for Rx-7's with the inventor. After Rx-7's our next stop is Supra.

For the person with the NASA comment. This turbo is currently being evaluated by the US Army for use on their vehicles. It really is amazing. I am confident this will bring a new era in turbo performance.

We just need to know market interest so that we can properly invest in this project.

This is not really new technology, if its what I think it is. It has been in use for quite some time, on diesels and porsche's. There have also been numerous threads on variable geometry turbos.

However, that would be B.A. if there was one that was made affordable (I.E. $1500-ish), and also properly sized for our engines.

if it'll be a very simple turbo swap without reworking all the plumbing, i'll pay double the amount of a comparable bb turbo--2-3k extra. but if you have this technology, why limit yourself to aftermarket support for rx7's and other street cars? i'd love to see it done, but i don't understand your approach. i'm sure you can make BANK working for professional racing series and bigger trucking corporations. or patent it for bmw, mitsubishi, subaru, etc. who turbo charge some of their high end vehicles.

if it's what you really say it is, i'm sure you don't have to worry about the marketting details. it'll sell itself once proven in the races.

if it has some drawbacks you aren't disclosing at this point, then it's a different story.

evil aviator, while being an ***, does have a point. you can't just make up energy. if it's some sort of supercharger@idle/turbo@load hybrid, my interest would wane depending on the installation complexity and weight being added. if it's variable geometry turbo, good luck getting it to work on a rotary. i mean it sincerely. bottomline is this, if proven in a race (which won't be hard if what yo're saying is 80% true), i'll pay 2-3k extra for it.

AHh, yes, the variable vane technology...not that new. TDI jetta's and the diesal trucks like Ford 6.4L use this.
The turbo is worth NOTHING until its proven and reliable....the reason you get flamed is because you pre-maturely started posting about this "reinventing the wheel" turbo when there is no actual product that we know of on a RX7 that has proven track record, and most people like to rebadge technology to fit their own business plan, free enterprise works well doesnt it.
Anyway, start selling us the product with technical and real world information and then you will have some credibility with THIS venture.
