OHHH.... what about putting the boost from one feeding into the other for a twin charged set up...

on a serious note. You can safely put up quite a bit in these engines. But since your obviously new to it, i suggest small, then upgrade... Or you may want to look at supercharging. Its cheaper and a lil easier to do.

 

There is a electronic supercharger that really does work. I cant remember the watts or the company (found it in a honda mag once long ass time ago), but it has a eaton with like 3 starter motors it lookes like straped onto it. It takes its own batteries and such but that price was not worth the benifits at all! But it was like 5 psi all the time doesnt matter the rpm or some ****.

 

As i promised... proof that if you hook up a gas powered leaf blower you gain 10-20 hp more... gotta love the intelligence of opening a NOS bottle next to a 2 cycle motor.... morons...

Leaf Blower Bolt on Dyno pull

so who wants to do the getto supercharger?

 

hahah thats awesome, waht i dont understand in the videos is..what does blowing the nos into the leaf blower do? im a noob when it comes to nos

 

NOS is NO2. It is one of they few 'safe' ways of boosting the oxygen in the cylinder. You cant use strait oxygen cause it will burn back into the intake manifold.

 

that is one of the most estuped things i haves seens.....lol....but it worked.....go leaf blowers!!!!

 

i thot a turbod 2.4 could safely handle 8-12 psi...but 13+ youre starting to push it

 

Hahn is running 21 lbs of boost, with no ill effects to date and no internals. Only time will tell though. I think the engine is pretty well built. Crankshaft is supposed to be good for 350 hp at the spline. looks like there may be some over design included in that.

 

The electric super charger from Thomas Knight is the only real electric super charger out there.

I wonder that the **'s mean. couldnt find them on the page... i bet that is 6lbs of boost at idle. And for 2500 bucks, I'll pull the turbo off a junk engine, and build my own electric motor that would produce much higher boost levels.

 

Pics or Ban!!!

 

It all depends on what size turbo and how much CFM it flows

 

it produces good power there was an article in turbo mag where they dyno'd one of his first setups

looks like i works well lol

 

Well, just curious if it did work, what is the power draw. I know you can run it on batteries, but I wonder how it would run if i plugged it into the cars electrical. Here is what i am thinking...

A electric/traditional turbo. It has an electric motor that only engages to spool it up...

 

Im running 10 psi sometimes depending on how cold it is. It fluctuates from 8-10. Im upping the boost in the spring cuz the engine can handle it if well tuned for the application. The tranny is where more of my worry is going to.

 

I'm currently running 11-11.5 PSI depending on the day with a HPT. I am also running E-85 though, and keeping an eye on timing etc. I doubt I could use as much without detonation on premium fuel though.

wth another fast 2.4 in AZ? where the hell are you guys coming from??

 

ummm pix or ban ... seriously dude DAYUM lol

 

I might want to mention, my IDC % is high with 60's I'm at 92% now, and thinking this isn't such a good idea.

Pic's...I'll get some soon. But you folks won't be impressed with a HHR

Jim

 

A 2.7" pulley is only getting you 11lbs? I'm getting 9lbs with the 3.34

 

I dunno, maybe my blower isn't up to snuff. Beck said he's only making 7-8 lbs with a stock pulley, and with the 3 inch pulley I was making 10 psi. I'm also at 3000 Ft and Beck is close to sea level so I would imagine that has something to do with it.

I was dissapointed in the gain from the 3 inch to the 2.7, but unless my bypass is starting to open (blower holding vacuum at the T/B), I'm not sure why the low PSI numbers. I have the belt as tight as she goes, so I doubt it's slipage.

I was impressed with how hard the 2.7 hit compared to the 3 inch, it blows the tires of much sooner and harder.

Jim

On a side note, you're also stick and I'm auto. Looking at stick logs, you guys shock the blower much harder than I do shifting etc....

Jim

 

The other thing that is odd, is the 92% duty cycle on 60's. I'm in the low to mid 80's on 42's. We should compare tunes. I'm not running with a map sensor right now though, which may throw you off. I understand this is not the best way to run the car but for the time being (I'll fix it soon) it's ok.

nevermind: just noticed you are on e85

 

Your not running the 2.5 bar Map? I guess you can tune without the map, but it's nice to see what happens with PE when the boost comes in.

Jim

 

HHR s/c? nice man. keep up the good work.

 

Nevermind I figured it out










Yes I know it's dirty, and Beck already got me for the crummy looking valve cover etc
