Feasable. Another good "turbo lag" solution. |
|
|
Instead of flooding the exhaust manifold to increase turbo speed, why not put the compressed air directly into the intake system and do the turbo's job for it? (Obviously cannot be exhaust gasses when configured this way.) |
|
|
Dumping the air into the intake would be a very short-lifed solution. You could instead put a smaller turbine on the end of the turbo, and dump the air onto that. I thought about the back-pressure after I submitted it.. |
|
|
Why not use a variable cam turbine? so you can have higher turbo revs at low exhaust pressure and decrease its size when pressure is enough in intake... you can stretch and shrink both lobs of the turbine whether is necessary... |

Because that's already been posted, tiagofortunato. |

Ok seeing as my idea got deleted for being similar to this one, I though I better put the key difference here... |
|
|
What if you put the fitting for the compressed gas in the turbine housing, directed at the wheel. The higher velocity of the gas would put more force onto the wheel than having it expand before the turbo. |

Kind of like a water blaster on dirty concrete. You use less water than a garden hose because each drop of water strips away more grime when it hits it at high speed. |
