Fri, 31 January 2003 03:06 Crostek: a more advanced version of the system you describe is employed by WRC cars (anti-lag). It's very effective, but it greatly reduces the life expectancy of the turbo and obviously it isn't legal on the street. A good idea for cashed-up WRC teams who can afford to replace turbos on a regular basis, but not so good for the rest of us! 1JZMX83: Note that a typical automotive turbocharger may reach speeds of up to 100,000rpm while a centrifugal SC is designed to spin at a fraction of that speed. Combining the two isn't going to work I'm afraid. I remember reading about a similar thing not long ago, where a small high-rpm electric motor was employed to spin the shaft of a turbo as a form of anti-lag. Some major turbo manufacturer was developing it, possibly Garret? The details escape me, but I recall they were having problems with the heat cooking the electric motor.
