Ooooooh! I Can Get a Supersharger for My Discovery!

unbelievable
call the police :police:

The sad part is there are some very useful turbos out there. I rather fancy one of the experimental electric ones. These reduce turbo lag by using an electric motor to spin the turbo up before the exhaust gases take over as with a conventional one. One of those with the ballrace bearings that apparently allow you to spin the turbo by blowing into the air intake please!
lee celtic:
I can sort of see why a hiclone might work as it is mounted fixed and still so the air is forced to swirl when passing through it ...
but if the fan bit in this spins dosn't that mean that the air keeps going straight as it will only spin at the same speed as the air passing through it :? :?
If it was powered electrically or belt driven then maybe but as it is [-X [-X
Isn't ebay covered by trading standards???
Disco Matt:
You'll probably find that somewhere in the small print it says "up to xxbhp" - up to including 0!
The problem with the hiclone to my mind is that although it might swirl the air any beneficial effects will surely be removed when the air hits the turbo, which will demolish the swirl effect?
diggerdog36:
I can see the theory behind the hiclone, directing the swirled air to optimise the angle it hits the turbine. The hiclone adjusts the angle of attack of the air, instead of the blades. After all, a turbo is just a centrifugal compressor.
