Backwards turbo question.

You're SOL Matt, the mods are having fun at your expense too.):h

Oh, did I just bump this thread? So sorry.:rolleyes5:
 
I know over all not so much a good idea with the turbo vac thing. But negitive preasure in the exhaust is not a bad idea. I know of race car builders that try to end their exhaust in an area of low preasue under their car so as to create a suction on the tail pipe.

I'll bet a backwards turbo would work pretty good there too.

:D

They all laughed at Rudolph Diesel too, at the idea of making an engine that can run off of peanut butter oil!

):hBTF, Swing by my house when you get a minute, Cooking HotDogs and Beans on the grille, After we eat I'll give you a backwards turbo, and you'll be whistling all the way home! :eek:

ON EDIT: - Wait Till next weekend, I have utmost respect for Vet's this weekend (and always)......... Thank you and our other service members for doing their duties, past and present.

Hear, hear.
 
Instead Matt, why dont you try post turbo water injection on the exhaust or a water lined pipe on the exhaust, like one of those intercoolers that just circulates water through the outside jacket of a straight pipe. The whole reason for larger exhaust and reducing restriction is to allow the gasses to expand sooner, cool it down and alllow it to exit faster and lower the pressure in the pipe to reduce backpressure in the engine. So cooling the exhaust may work just as well as cooling the intake. Just like the steam engines.

The antimatter to header wrap? Antiheaderwrap has just been invented. ):h

Cut water injection to the headers for 15 sec at WOT on a boat for more performance. (Source Banderlog water injection valve manual.) :nonod: So that idea will not work.

Yeah, water in the exhaust might not work well since adding mass to push out, but cooling the pipe itself would be good.

A double walled pipe where the INJ only goes on the outer wall, thus not interfering with backpressure, yet still spraying the pipe.

The steam creating with this water could then be utilized elsewhere. The Outerwall would need a vent port, and then that could spin a turbine wheel with a mouse running in it, so the wheel can spin without the mouse doing the work.

check out gator turbochargers

Thanx. Looks like they've done years of work on this, and it works for small engines.
Maybe I'll make one for son's Mitsu after I'm done with the 'Burb... nah, never done with a 6.5!

An air to water intercooler looks better and better; frozenboost.
I can mount it under the 'Burb or on the roof, never use the luggage rack anyway. :thumbsup:
 
Careful on that gator turbochargers websites. They are sending all sorts of flags to my anti-virus/spyware protection programs. I didn't even get through.
