a safe way to eliminate turbo lag?
ok i was wondering...and i need some info....and opinions......if this is a stupid idea tell me! what if i took a nitrous bottle (filled with compressed air)an a line to the uppipe directly under the turbo going into the hot side of the turbo?....this would be usedto eliminate tubo lag down low...i think this would be a great expierment?thoughts?

its worth a try...ALTHOUGH...nitrous tanks hold relatively low amounts of pressure and volume....a SCUBA tank would be MUCH better for this as a standard tank can be pressurized to 3000psi and 80lbs.

would this help spin the turbo or would it just put more air into the engine

or just keep it in the powerband.... honestly, if you dont care if you mess it up, go for it. i dont know if there would be any danger of the exhaust gas coming up the line to the tank would there? not that it would combust (fire) but rather it might explode from the constant increase in pressure if your not using it. |

the pressure would be no more dangerous than nitrous....i would be using a solinoid ......

Why ask? It seems if you don't here what you want, your probably going to convince yourself anyway.

coat/wrap, port'n'polish, tune. as long as you run an appropriate exhaust, those will make it spool as close to a twinscroll as you could possibly hope for... without getting a twinscroll.

the lag on that shouldnt be much to begin with and the amount of air that is going to create wont be enough imo to generate a sufficent amount of boost. imo your just going to cut holes everywhere and not find it worth the efforts in the end.
:tup: to innovative thinking though. you did give me an awsome idea though... will discus more about it once i work out the details. |

I don't think it would be such a good idea, your exhaust gas will be hot as well as your turbo, and up pipe. When you inject your air it will come in really cold (Joule Thomson Effect). This will thermally shock your up pipe and turbo, and could take away energy (pressure) from your hot exhaust gases Before you go embarking on a expensive experiment, just do some quick calculations. Do you even know what the exhaust gas pressure is infront of the turbo with your current set up as rpm and load varies? What about behind the turbo? I think this topic may have been discussed before, maybe try search.

If he wants to do it, let him. If it works...GREAT!!! We'll have another mod to add to the list. If it doesn't work... he'll just be getting the "I told you so".

Unless your driving the batmobile, the lag is not that bad. I learned to adjust my driving style when I got my first Turbo

I was thinking the thermal difference between the hot exhaust gas and the extremely cold compressed air would be very bad. You have that turbo running hot, and blast it with very cold air, and bad things are sure to happen sooner than later. Like cracked turbo housings, vanes, all that expensive stuff. I say do NOT do it, but if you do, let us know how bad it goes. |

its clearly a bad idea in many aspects. If this problem could be solved so easily then why dont you think car manufactorers and racing companies (with multi million dollar research and devolupment teams) havent tried this already? Its not like you're the first person to come up with this idea. Try if you'd like but you know what the end result will be.
