New Turbo Technology!!!
Best Post Ever:
First off, Jay, stay out of this. Ok. I didn't want to mention it but I was thinking about turbo charging my Vette. I got to thinking about it and how in efficient even turbos are (compressor efficiencies of about 80% at best). Since a turbo's function is to pressurize incoming air and force it into the upper motor, and turbos are driven by high pressure exhaust gas created from the combustion process, couldn't I just bypass the turbo altogether and route my headers back into the throttle bodies? Since I have CFI, I could balance the DEI (direct exhaust injection as I just coined it) by feeding one header into each throttle body. Yes, the charge air wouldn’t be that cold, but it would be under a hell of a lot more pressure. I attached a quick sketch below: There are still a few things I need to work out: 1) How do I get the CFI aircleaner to fit in a way that hides this plumbing? 2) Does anyone make a V-band clamp that will bolt an exhaust header to a CFI throttle body? 3) What pinion angle should I use in my rear-end? I’m sure there will be a noticeable difference in torque output. What do you guys think? http://www.gmmodernmuscle.com/forums...pic.php?t=2779 :laugh: |

Don't laugh too hard. There is a thing called exhaust gas recirculation. It's primarily intended to burn off emissions, but can actually (in well tuned systems built for it), increase HP and MPG.

Just in case he wasn't joking, I would have said:
"Wow, I think you're on to something. Give it a try." :bigthumbsup: This certainly solves the energy crisis, just plug your extension cords back into eachother. Infinite power. |
