Re: Is this Interesting?
Turbo and flathead is not like oil and water...there are a couple of street engines around here one with the turbo hidden under the floor for a "oldschool" appearance.
You can cheat a bit with turbos by injecting fuel into the exhaust creating instant boost to avoid spool up time. If mixture is an issue go E85 that gives you a wider span. Gas is very picky about mixture compared to ethanol/methanol. |

E85 is the fuel of choice for boosted LS motors. |

I wonder if you could make a two turbo (small lead in) and a larger, primary spool set up work. Some OHV use this to prevent lag. I'd assume all the serious guys would have tried this before, so I'm just thinking out loud. Really intrigued about this since it's "free" power, but I guess nothing is really free.

Had someone purchased one of these, made the brackets and exhaust manifolds and started a thread asking what jets to use, it would be one thing, but that isn't what this one turned out to be about. Last edited by tubman; 03-03-2020 at 09:38 PM. |

Re: Is this Interesting?
I'd like to see this kinda playout and not get into too much banter. So I'll shut my mouth.

Re: Is this Interesting?
twin turbos have been around for a while. Compressed air is interesting.

Re: Is this Interesting?
Could you run compressed straight bottle oxygen with something like a super charger? Straight oxygen boost? Nitrous octane is better maybe.
