Think of it as running 3 starters with 2 batteries.
Constant flow, not proprortional to engine speed. Sort of like nitrous, only more complicated. http://208.62.166.66:82/guest/pics/M...percharger.jpg For those who like doing it the hard way. |

[snapback]740487[/snapback] [/quote] Just get a bigger alternator. Mark |
And a second battery.
And some heavy duty control circuits & relays. And some custom blow-off control. And some bypass piping & valving for normal driving. And some fuel system mods. Etc.. That's why it didn't sell. |

Their charger is different. http://www.turbodyne.com/ They use to market an electric blower known as a TurboPac. Honeywell purchased the rights to the patent, but never manufactured. Turbodyne had to sue Honeywell to regain control of their product. By then the damage was done. |
i heard theses are only for short burts like nitrous
|
Like I said:

The patent image on Turbodyne's web site looks like it as a 1/4 maybe 1/2 HP electric drive motor - pretty lame..
