Re: Supercharger vs Turbo?
Turbo's re-use spent energy, I see approx. 5-20 % fuel economy change when going from N.A to Turbo with correct fuel contol on petrol running a higher octane. The change is greater on lower comp engines. Going from small turbo to middle/large size also increases cruising fuel economy usually around ...

Re: Supercharger vs Turbo?
If you were aiming for 'no lag' and you got 'lag' then you didn't choose the right turbo (And possibly setup?) for your application. I have a 13 page excel spreadsheet of all the turbo combinations my guys use. :) A high flowed TD04 (Maximum CHRA inducer/exducer) will be very responsive in anything ...

Re: Winchin' motor tech on the up
Put it this way, you get very very accurate control of this motor... There is no 'real' RPM limit to these as long as everything is balanced.
I've made tiny ones that spin faster than 60,000 rpm and convert more than 1kw of power after losses.
We'll see what happens, but thanks for the advice.

Re: Winchin' motor tech on the up
Yes, I'm getting somewhere now with these... Its a matter of only finding a manufacturer capable of producing these, I have a narrowed it down to about 10 companies so far. The hard part is negotiation. Also, I've found a method to run these on a higher voltage but overall losses are around 20% due ...

Re: Winchin' motor tech on the up
thanks for pointing that out.... Also appreciate the kind words. Amps is what is really the limiting factor, I can actually run these up to 50v no worries and crank some serious power... It will be interesting when these come into test as the efficiency is over 85% for these motors, if spending some ...

Re: Winchin' motor tech on the up
I really don't want to talk about the 'what ifs' of what this can do etc, I more want to discuss what you guys do in setups or what you would find acceptable... If you have a question you can PM me, I don't want to get this thread deleted - That is all. (It will look like I am trying to advertise ...

Winchin' motor tech on the up
Hi, I have a couple of questions from a manufacturing point of view, lacking the practical point of view that you guys have. If I could provide a competitive winch motor to fit warn style 20 spline with these specs, would it go down well in the community: -12v-48v input (Ideal is 24-36 volt) - 9kw ...

Subaru Forester transmission cooler
Here is how I have setup an auto transmission cooler with an ATV fan over the cooler which is connected to a thermo switch. A picture speaks a thousand words, so here is some pictures: :armsup: I've also have had the valve body modified. Currently pushing about 155 kw @ the wheels with no issues or ...

Is there any post 2000 diesels that don't run o2 sensors?
Hey guys, Just wondering if there is any post 2000 model diesels without o2 sensors (That are common on here) I'm not familiar with diesels AT ALL. So please excuse my ignorance. Also, with regard to modern diesels, Do they normally have an o2 sensor for fuel mixture and another for the cat ...

head over to OZFOZ and have a look in the offroad section, this forum is dedicated to fozz. x2 Got a few examples of lits done, even DIY spacers... Just be careful with insurance issues when doing such a lift. Most guys go for: 50-60mm with strut spacers and 10-30mm in springs. Funny how maybe 10 ...
