Glad to see you're still around. Literally found this video when I was trying to explain to my buddy what I want to do with my rx8 eventually. Though had to shelf those plans until I get my speed 6 running. Almost there just have a oil leak on the turbo return side to fix and I'm done I am already on the forums too

Cats and dogs often sort themselves out, however I had 3x pure bred blue Australian cattle dogs and 2x farm cats and the grumpy dogs never ever let the cats alone. I had to step in and assert my authoritah as top dog. Very quickly after that, if the dogs even looked sideways at the cats there was big trouble. Eventually the damn cats knew the dogs wouldn't touch them and started to get very cheeky by swiping the dogs for no reason knowing there weren't consequences. I had to step in. I'd yell at the cats when they swiped the dogs and then in support of me, the dogs would bark at me yelling at the cats. Oh boy then over it started again barking, chasing the cats squealing and hissing. All that work... In the end (5 years) it all settled down and they all loved each other. They really really loved each other, sit together, play together, sleep together, liked being around each other; we were surrounded by furry friends in harmony. It got easy after that because all the new cats and dogs knew nothing but love in the family but for 5 years it nearly drove us insane. Cats, a necessary evil.

Awesome video man, thought about this for years just never pulled the trigger. Thanks for being the guy doing so! I have a diesel truck that has a hard time spooling up, and this would be a cool add to get some boost down low, and hopefully a few psi up top too!

Alex, I'm on the forum, I have the 2019 V6 Challenger that we've messaged about. Thanks for listing out all the parts here, maybe this summer I'll start buying parts to build this out.

The look on Rogers face is priceless!

MoR FTW! Great vid, real info. Thanks!

Thanks for the update Alex. Good luck with the move and the new homestead! Was wondering when we would see you again. And mostly, thank you for your contributions to electrified boost community! God send!

The look on Rodger's face.. Priceless!

Awsome to see such progress in the electric boost field! This seems to be the best universal setup I’ve seen in comparison to TorqAmp and PhantomElectricSuperChargers. Are there more videos on where can I find more videos about throttle controlling the electric supercharger as well as regulating its temperature from over heating?

This is such a cool idea.

he is back

Been following this for a good bit now. It should be trivial to control the ESC using a standalone ECU that supports generic outputs. I'm certain I could get it to work with the Haltech ECUs I use. Maybe after I finish my VGT K24 RX8 I build one of these and pop it on my other LS RX8, see if I can't map the duty cycle to some ECU params, probably TPS? Also, what can I do to help you setup a wiki? Forums are great for short-term discussion but I can't be aresed to read through a thousand posts just to know what ESC is the current de-facto standard. I'd personally love to see you write a page specifically on why VESC doesn't work for this particular application, since so many people seem to ask about it and don't know the history. Thanks for your time and investment!

I can’t wait to give this a shot on a NA 2008 Chrysler Crossfire with FBO!

Sounds great, but I'm fuel limited from factory. Need a propane kit or e85 port injection or something. Still fun to be along for the ride!

Really interesting idea make a plastic jet boat using the turbo as the motor😊

One day I wanna see you try and tackle adding that electric motor to a regular turbo to eliminate turbo lag ;) but I suppose you could just add it like a sequential setup and achieve the same result. Tell Roger my little Frenchie Penny feels his pain dealing with a cat...

Wow! $1500 (or even $2000 including bov & other ancillaries) is NICE! But I didn't catch whether that includes the computer for tuning, so I'm about to watch again.

With the speed controller i watched the vesc build i think the voltage wasnt high enough to produce enough for what you really needed they now have 32s and higher vescs i think redo doing thay build but with higher voltage vescs for be awesome a video cheers for the content 👍

Whenever i get a little money up, id like to buy one of these just to put on one of my cars. Ive thought about building something like this ,probably as long as you have. I believe you could make several cars much better or lets say much more fun. For instance, my v10 excursion would probably love a few kpa during acceleration, and i bet one would likely get better fuel mileage, if, driven correctly.

Boom!!! Thanks.

Not sure if they still have them but v3 pack’s were selling at reduced price until the revised version came out because of failed expectations but they are still good as v2

Do the speed masters come up on the used market? And This is excited especially how easy it is to remove if you decide on another go fast vehicle. Thank you for all your hard work, time and money you pour into these projects. (Asking about the used market because I’m full time LEO and part time firefighter as well as Army national guard…aka, I’m broke and just like helping people lol)

Any interest in building an electrically-assisted-turbocharger (EAT) like the Garrett one used in the Mercedes M139? It’s basically the MGU-H from F1 but adapted for production vehicles. EATs still use exhaust gas to power the compressor, but also uses an electric motor during the initial spool to eliminate turbo lag. It’s the modern, much better iteration of Volvo’s PowerPulse.

*Movie Announcer Voice:* This time on Seconds From Disaster, Rodger finds out what happens when he pokes a cat

So in a 350z with a 3.7l v6 with 300hp I can expect around 400hp given I have ideal conditions?

Hey man love the video, love that you're trying to find a nice simplified way to generate power, and even get significant numbers. I'm sorry if this is a nonsense suggestion, ss I can't say I know too much... about anything actually., but i was thinking for some time, what if you put a high power electric motor in place of the starter motor that can be electronically controlled to add power to the drivetrain as an engine assist. Im guessing you'd have to reinforce/double up the flexplate/flywheel. I figure at the very least it should give you a good amount of low-end torque. Another unorthodox idea, could you have an axial motor 'in place of' your torque converter. I'm sure the electronics and some counter loading problems would be pretty complicated but might be well within the reach of a decent electronic automotive engineer. In it's drive line lower power configurations it could just perform as lock up value torque converter, in high-performance configuration it could actually add RPM with torque. Don't know why I got the feeling that you might be open to such suggestions, sorry if theyre a waste of time Got more stupid ideas but I feel I said too much already, again thank you for the video appreciate your time.

Will a 2nd car battery on boot be suffient enough to power the electric motor Also need the pedal to control the electric motor like a top mount supercharger linear power

So is this more like nos than traditional turbos since theres no lag and spool time and theres only off and full on for the charger ?

It seems I need to do something custom like this. I was interested in torq amp and based on my motor hp (230hp), it would be a benefit. However, my 1.8L motor revs to 9000 RPM and I would probably actually lose power at the high end if their performance curves in the 3000-6000 RPM range were extrapolated to the higher RPM ranges. 40% pressure increase at 3000 RPM, 15% pressure increase at 6000 RPM leads one to think that the 5kW torqAmp just isn't enough for 7000RPM+.... You should finalize your design and sell it!

I really really like this so if i got a 185hp engine with long tub headers i should be ok and this set up will give me 5psi of boost? I run no cat or muffler my o2 sensor is in my header tube on the drivers side. I have multiport fuel injected engine woth mass air flow. You think i would be ok? Its actually a 2.8v6 with hooker supercompetion long tube headers jet hot coated. I think i would have to up my injectors from 17lbs though. I could upgrabe to better heads and intake to get to 200hp it has a cam in it 1.5 roller rockers jacobs pro street ignition with ultra coil holley annihilator ignition module. But it is starving for air. I know a guy who has 1 with 11.5 to 1 compression super long tubes and a weber carbs dyno at 270hp i know it can do it but mine is a little under your 200hp mark.

Omg, the look on his face 🤣🤣🤣 "fk u Dad. Wtf."

Verry nice video and a good joob! I was looking for something for my kawasaki zx10r 2004 for a bit more power. N/A tuning is expensive and electric turbo also around $2000,- i think im going to buy a cheap ebay turbo with internail wastegate for 200$ and make self a manifold

Hello, very cool setup. Very nice to see someone thinking more about the masses and the budget/space the masses have. Have you perhaps thought about replacing the batteries with supercapacitors? This would mean that you would have like 20-30s of boost and then the capacitors would charge up again from the alternator or battery in minutes to make another 20-30s. Just seems like a good idea because it could be more compact and normal batteries just take a long time to charge. Id rather always have a reliable 20-30s than find out that my batteries are too empty cus i just dont drive long enough drives to recharge them if yhat makes sense?

Can you run a secondary intake so when you're not boosting the natural aspiration doesn't get choked down by passing through the compressor housing.

Can you tell me the heat of the shaft coupler? I am hoping my friend can 3d print me a coupler that can withstand the heat and force of your set up, he has some metal imbued highe strength filament that can be utilized. I'd be willing to try it.

Hey i believe its been over a year u had this speedmaster p2 headunit and been testing on it! I plan to put this on my car and supercharge it can you guide any issue with the headunit itself or its been working fine how much boost have u pushed if you can guide on this? Any issue so far? Will appreciate your answer as cannot find much reviews on this charger

what belt are you using? is it metal or are you using rubber?

Hello from France, is this sustainable over time? in terms of electricity consumption, the alternator and the battery would hold up for a trackway car that runs at full speed for 20 minutes ? thank you

hey Alex, i think i speak alot of the guys here, we want to support you, is there a way that you can machine and sell the bracket that holds the motor to supercharger? i could make it myself, but seeing the work you've done these past years. The blood and sweat put into this configuration with countless testing apparatuses and drag strip days. I'd love to be able to kick some profits back to you. Even i ya wanna sell a cad file on exact measurements you used for 10$.

Is that hp at the wheels or at the crank?

If you added the motor from your sledgehammer to the P2 speed master and geared it to spin faster would it be able to produce more power than you rated in the video or is the p2 maxed out with the castle 2028? I ask because My engine is 200whp NA 4 cylinder engine and my goal is 460-500 whp . To reach 14-16psi/ this level is compounding the only way ? Please do a video on how compounding changes boost level and power levels.Thanks for awesome videos as always!!!

Do you have a blue print or schematic file to build the plate to hold the supercharger

How much time will you be able to run this system that you show here? Obviously battery size and blower output will affect that, just looking for an idea

Bro turn this into a kit before the Chinese do. Especially the bracket part.

GM start stop 2016+ I4 starter, soft start pwm.

What about using this as the "small" unit of a compound setup on a 3L? Want to slap a huge precision pro mod on a new Supra (BMW B58 engine) but cut lag.

RED GREEN. BALLER!!!!

People is always using motors for RC vehicles and they rarely output more than 10HP. I would like to see this being done with a proper electric motor say one from a nissan leaf, the supercharger will be huge but I think the performance gains will make up for it.

impressive you have it down to a kit! now how about for road course applications! yes a bigger battery but the motor and cooling? or the bearings of the turbo? I am not criticizing, just asking based on your experience.

So, on my K24A2 Civic I can expect to go from 225 to about 350HP and I have the option of spraying methanol to keep things cool. What boost level would I expect on a 2.4L across 3,000 to 7,500 rpm range? I need to find and install a limited-slip diff first.

how long with that supercharger run with the specified battery setup on say a 400hp engine?

@AlexLTDLX, what would it take (roughly) to support the boost level needed to achieve 650hp on a 200 base hp engine? Bigger motor/batteries? My thought is the air mass flow rate would be the same as a 500 base hp engine making 650hp, but the boost pressure would be higher for the smaller 200 base hp engine which means a more powerful motor would be needed I'd imagine?

4:59 so you're not running any kind of aftercooling? Gail Banks would be shaking his finger at you It's all about manifold air density. Have you measured your temperature going into the plenum?

will this work on a ford 289 with a carb?

Hey Alex, I have tried to verify on your forum, but have never received the email, what should I do?

How many runs can that battery support

I've gotta try this on my integra. No way I can use this compressor I'd have to find something smaller.

We're there bigger batteries available that will last longer?

What if we use stepup converter 12v to 48v 600w and use super cap with it

Where are you mounting it? Or it doesn't matter?

Have you ever added a little nitro propane to your gas? Dyno proven and i think it would give you about 50hp just adding it to your gas. I dont know how that would go with a sc snd your whole setup

Standalone ECU would make controlling one of these no issue I believe

how do u charge the battery from the car

Charger for packs?

My boa!

I almost thought he was Tim Heidecker 😅

I could do it way cheaper aurduino . U could even run map sensor and have a led display under 400 speed controller use a Vesc !! Minus battery blower

With such short burst required a battery of super capacitor cells may be cheaper and more durable, IMO. Sent you an email a few months back, subject matter Vacuum Sublimation. That account was locked for some nonsensical TOS violation, a few days after. Never knew if you replied, as it seemed to be a solicitation for a phone number. "send us a text and we'll unlock your acct" Did you have any interest? Seems Mazda will be using the same tech on the new Iconic SP to get 1200mi range.

I'm near Austin TX ... are you coming here (or near)?

Any one else catch the red green show reference

Please add a battery charger

만들어줄수있어?

All I can say is you make them an they will sell

@AlexLTDLX just another question Here is what i am thinking to setup correct me if any mistake Car dodge charger 3.6 800kv motor directly to turbo fan no pulley 4074 800kv max volt 62 max rpm 50k weight 410g 12v to 48v stepup converter 80 amp I have access to hybird battery cells which is 7.5v each i think will be better choice they perfome like between lithium battery and super cap My goal is to run turbo for 70 seconds for instant boost because i always race from 60 kmph to 80kmph, including there is 80amp incoming always to charge the batteries I am also car technician do unlocking stuff on dodge and tuning also good knowledge about electronics so i will understand your suggestion easily

So naturally aspirated the car puts out 645hp.

800rpm seems too low, wouldnt you want like 30000 rpm?

Crazy cheap HP

Delusional boy!!! 😂 turbo!

I assume the amount of power needed to sustain just a soft turbo pressure (0,5bar) throughout whole powerband of a 5.0v8 revving to 6500rpm is at least 2kW. It takes a 48-72V 40-30A motor and driver module to do it. Plus a step up converter from car's 14,4V installation that can handle such current. And all of it should resist extensive use and heat. For me a typical chinese turbo, some friend that can fabricate all that's necessary for conversion will still be cheaper. But it's my guess only.
