You could install a microswitch at the throttlebody or below the gas pedal so that the contraption only begins to spin once full throttle is applied. Might hook up an additional fuel pump to the same circuit, that squirts some more gasoline into the intake at the same moment.

Man. I can't get enough about this channel. Every time I open the channel, there is an amazing video. Keep up the amazing work guys! And thanks to BMI for translating too!

Your laughter and the way everyone smiles... is how I can tell how successful your ideas are. I couldn't help but laugh along with you guys. Wish I could drive the car. This was a good one. Thank you.

This guy is one of the best mechanics ive ever seen. My father can do this kind of stuff. I have 50% of his genetics. But... Thats not enough to know 50% of what he knows. Its crazy. Wish I could travel and learn from this guy.

You should use another smaller internal combustion engine to power the turbine. Like from chainsaw or something like that...

13:30 "we could have used a regular supercharger" Well, anyone can do that. 😂

I made a switched (on/off) supercharger from a Toyota previa, and I found that using the bypass valve was really helpful when driving off-boost. I programmed all of this using an arduino and a stepper motor controller. I'm very willing to share with you.

Great video again. For a better motor alternative you should try a brushless inrunner motor and ESC from a scooter. They can sustain more power and RPM than the old shunt wound starter motor (2kW+), and as long as you supply power, the motor will run. Being 0-5V control you can easily modulate the boost, even make a simple feedback circuit to regulate the boost value with a pressure sensor, that way it will work like an electronic waste gate with perfect efficiency, and you could slave it to the accelerator pedal... it would make a great ride, you may want to go 24, 36 or 48V to get maximum advantage. Cheers.

You should use a treadmill motor. They are strong, run on dc power and can run continuously. You will have to use a voltage step up circuit though so that you can power it off of the 12v car power.

Bentley Blower comes to mind. Place a switch under the accelerator pedal, when you hit full throttle, the motor starts the turbo. That's how that system worked in the UK, back in 1922.

I really enjoy your channel, sirs!!! You seem to have a lot of fun doing these projects and it shows. I hope you folks stay well -- and warm -- up there!! Whoever does your translation is so meticulous and detailed. Thanks very much!

Very subtle, but I hear you loud and clear garage 54, keep doing what you do and keep tipping your cap, winking your eye, or even showing your hand. I stand with you.

please make a 0-60 mph test with and without the turbo this is just so cool hahaha

You are definitely top tier professionals.

I had a smile on my face the whole drive! You guys are awesome!!

Go brushless , high rpm makes easier to marry to the turbo . Attach two throttles together at the throttle linkage , you can also separate wether you want boost early or later in rpm by how you join them . Usually a powered charger is ran boosting motors from low rpm , turbo chargers for use in motors at high rpm . Be cool to see it boosting the pipes to oblivion and if you add a little ethanol injector to give it more bang . More air needs more fuel , bigger bang ha ha ha it’ll either work or lift the head without undoing it 😁

you have to add a big butterfly checkvalve or something. So the air doesnt has to be drawn through the turbo if it isnt on.

You could add a switch on the accelerator and a relay so that when you floor it the turbo kicks in automatically. I love your website.

I get a kick out of watching your videos. The different things you do to cars. The tests. The different ideas you have. Excellent. All of it is really good. Keep the videos coming.

I've wanted to see this type of DIY electric turbo for a long time! Awesome video

I would suggest you using a brushless DC motor not a starter motor on alternator that way you can have the very high RPMs

9:50 the look when they both don't have their license is priceless

That was pretty cool! I am sure it can be improved a lot. Great to see that it worked.

Love the show guy's. You guy's always think of something that gives me a good laugh with the crazy antics you all come up with. Keep up the good work.

switch the starter motor for a chain saw motor with a centripetal clutch, that would make it scary fast

I absolutely love this type of engineering

It's so interesting to see what you rig up here. Electric controlled bolt on (well more or less haha) turbo, that does work like it should. Very cool engineering going on.

This is an ideal setup to use an alternator as a three phase motor with the associated variable power unit to feed it. This way, the variation of speed of the turbo (by varying the motor) can be varied by different means (accelerator position, vacuum, crank speed, or other ways or even a combination of ways).

Try using something like a potentiometer and install it on the gas pedal so you dont have to press a button

"I'm just gonna pretend i don't have a license'' ''Me neither''-*says while driving the car on a public road* XD XD

You guys are awesome, I love the "alternative" (unusual, but ingeniously engineered) content.

Wow that was an awesome build!! You chaps always impress me I give you guys a lot of respect, keep the great content coming 🍻

I did the same thing on a Mercedes 240-d and made it spin the tires.My contraption was much smaller as I rigged it to work with the electronic transmission solenoid kick down switch on the accelerator peddle.

Back in the 1960s some of the cars that were running at Indianapolis ran electric fan blowers

That was great! Definitely have the system moved to the side and lowered so the hood can go one and hide the system on the next build-up!

Great idea guys, that looked like a lot of fun, thanks for sharing.

Excellent experiment. The alternator will put more load on the engine unless you use a separate battery. Only then it will be completely separate from the engine. Keep up the excellent vids. Big respect from me here in the UK 🇬🇧

This is gonna be a good one! Thanks Vlad!

Use a potentiometer for the signal wires and attach it to the throttle and use a speed controller on the motor and you can set the build up of boost so it increases along with the injectors. I think that’d smooth out the acceleration and you decide how many revs the motor stops at (limit)

This is awesome! You guys need to do more experiments with turbos!!

"It´s an easy one. Everything you need is a lathe and someone who can operate it." -> If you have that, you can practically build a whole engine 😀

Absolutely love this,another awesome build! I wonder if it would be possible to put a planetary set in the tensioning pulley and maybe use a more constant drive motor,something designed run longer with less heat being generated.. like a bus electric fan motor or something 😂,also maybe a full throttle switch and arming switch?? Keep up the kick ass builds guys! 👌🏾👍🏾

Again.. funny as .... thanks guys,. Good to see another project from you guys. Hope you are all save and healthy✌

I absolutely love your experiments. You guys are great!!

11:27. I believe the way you have the blower set up it's building pressure inside the intake enough at high res to open a valve slightly when it's not supposed to be open. That was probably gas and exhaust mixing and exploding in the exhaust pipe manifold and then exiting out the back

A starter motor is made run for small time ... It's very strong ,your almost at power that an electric turbo needs ,by modifying the starter motor it will last longer And not get hot but you need to put 2 bearings one small fan on the shaft and 2 new motor ends ...not too hard I ones made an electric bike like this 😁

I really enjoy your ideas. Very creative, very well done, so many thanks

Crazy stuff again, and working, respect and thanks 👍

No doubt in my mind that electric turbos will soon be a great option. With advanced Brushless motors and lipo batts it is totally possible to get the super high RPMs required for a turbo to be effective. The trick will be when someone puts together an electronics package that overcomes the issues of properly delivering the electric power and controlling boost.

I think the "turbo" isn't increasing power when spinning, but that it's actually just decreasing power while it's not spinning, due to the turbine standing still and restricting airflow. What they feel as "more power" is just the motor being not restricted when the turbine is spinning.

You boys are brilliant on the tools I love the way u fabricate and fetal bits a pieces I find it brilliant to watch 👍👍

My friend, some older lawn tractors used a Delco Remy starter/generator.....bearings at both ends.....handy for projects like this

I would love to see what difference it makes. If there is no easy access to dyno, they could do drag pulls and see the time difference.

Fantastic. So much fun and simple. The impeller's shaft won't last long with those sudden stops.

You guys always come up with some wacky ideas on this channel! Some are practical, some are down right out there.

Hey guys, great episode! Perhaps a truck starter motor would be more robust, however quite heavy. I really hope you continue to refine this as I do believe it’s viable!!

I am SO impressed at the level of your team. Some of the best fabricators I've ever seen. Especially considering the limitations of your equipment. Very talented guys.

In theory, you could cover the outside in heatsinks to help get rid of some of the heat, but I can't imagine it would do enough for stuff that's deeper in the starter. Also, I loved the video and now I want to see more tests with this setup (or similar). I was not expecting these results

Love this channel always something new and crazy, watching from 🇬🇧 uk

Definitely want to see more of this !!!

notification squad, Have a nice weekend!🔥🔥🔥

I feel you're getting good results because when it isn't turned on, it's massively restricting airflow and hurting 'stock' performance.. a regular turbo will spin slowly at idle, this being connected to a pulley doesn't turn at all. I'd love to see a boost gauge to see what kind of boost is being generated.

Seems to spool decent from 4:45. Posted at tjis point. I say same setup. Convert altinator to brushless then use a speed controller to power alt. to spool even faster depending on voltage supplied to com. I love this channel!

The welder in the shopping trolley, priceless. Liking the vid just for this amongst everything else.

11:30 was an LSPI event. Avoid them and add a dump valve or you will blow up the engine

What you actually did was a centrifugal supercharger

Start motor not designed for continuous use. It has neither external cooling fins nor interior cooling because it is sealed. Also, you need a wastegate and boost pressure guage. This is your best video.

Anytime i hear anyone say top tier professionals, Garage54 and all of the most kick ass merch on the globe is the first thing i think of for sure.

Garage54 invented an electricity powered engine compressor.

You need an extra fuel injector that sprays in extra fuel when you push the "power" button

You said that Lada could beat a 3 liter Camry when a gr Camry is capable of 400 plus horsepower with tuning... I respect your boldness

you guys do th craziest shit. I love it!!!! the fabrication!! you guys are living the dream!!!

next time install a NOS 🙏

Well, I know what MY next upgrade is going to be. No exhaust modification necessary!

Can’t help noticing the subtle blue and yellow acknowledgement. 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼

Thank you for great videos.

I think using a 3 hp muti-speed wood router powered by a inverter would work much better then a starter motor.

Make a cooling system for the starter motor by splicing off of the radiator

Awesome! Absolutely beautiful

I love this channel! Thanks for the great videos. I think the mass airflow sensor should be before the turbo, not after it. That way it will accurately read the amount of air the turbo is pulling in.

Probably need to inject extra fuel when activated.

The whole reason I suggested a brushless motor was so that you could run the turbine fan flat out because a starter motor the brushes can't handle that much RPMs and there's fist-sized brushless motors that turn over 60,000 RPMs

I love this! It is something I always wanted to try out!

A push button mounted on the gearshift handle would make it much easier to control your timing on when the turbo kicks in. That would give you better reaction times. I would be curious to see what the actual times down the track after a good dyno tuning would do for it

I'd like to see a supercharger turned by a belt attached to an axle. MORE SPEED = MORE BOOST

i'd be curious to see this on a dyno to see what the actual output is N/A and e-turbo, thats pretty cool all the same

I've been a sub for something like a decade or close to it. I've never disliked a video. Thinking about it I've never disliked any of their crazy brilliant ideas. Before being forced to move to San Francisco and not having either a vehicle or a garage. I was always working on these types of projects/experiments/inventions. This was me and the groups Monster Garage. Good times

Treadmill motor puts out 1/3 hp, a V8 starter motor between 1 to 1.5hp, and a diesel starter motor between 5-7hp. A turbocharger at full throttle on a small 4 cylinder is recovering about 20hp from the exhaust stream. These electric motors all have various rpm ranges which need to be accounted for in gearing to a mechanical turbo or technically a supercharger, I did the reading so you didn't have to.

Make it with a clutch wheel so that it continues to spin when you turn off the starter motor.

The Russian folks are good people. I can't say the same of their leaders.

Nice project. Assume that the turbo daws through the carb. Now add dual carbs. Then make ne more speed up on the drive. Say2 to one just like you have. Add to existing drive. Also migh have to add second stater motor with more over rive ratio. You are one of the first to really do this with powe gain.

Bonjour, C'est chouette d'avoir des résultats agréables ! 👍 Ça montre que le calcul de la démultiplication entre le démarreur et la turbine sont bons. Le principal intérêt de ce montage par rapport au turbo conventionnel réside dans le fait de pouvoir le commander quand on veut. L'inconvénient est que le démarreur demande beaucoup d'énergie électrique que l'on devra fournir à la batterie par le biais de l'alternateur qui lui sera demandeur d'énergie sur la courroie, alors que le turbo classique récupère principalement une énergie perdue à l'échappement sans vraiment freiner les gaz, lesquels se retrouvent encore plus puissants lorsque le turbo pousse. Ensuite, le démarreur n'est pas conçu pour tourner longtemps et son rendement n'est probablement pas optimum, puis il aurait besoin d'être refroidi. Super expérience encore un coup, continuez je continue à regarder 😆👍bravo ! Belphégor,😉

First, I would find an electric motor for a washing machine or refrigerator, or, if you can, find a motor for an electric leaf blower or lawn mower. After this, what I would do to tweak the system is actually have a rheostat or potentiometer mounted to the throttle body, which could then control the power going to the motor for the induction system. By mounting the potentiometer or rheostat on the butterfly valve axle, like a Throttle Position Sensor, you would then have some control over how much boost you're getting from your forced induction. Also, by tuning it to the throttle body, you make the induction linear, which means you then have an electric supercharger, and not a turbocharger. The other thing you'll have to tune is the boost pressure, because if you have too much pressure, you could blow manifolds or even gaskets apart through pneumatic pressures.

This is amazing, please tune it. Make more videos with this system please.

I think I know more about ladas than I do my own truck 🤔😳😁 Lol thank you Vlad please keep'em coming friend...

Solid! Top KEK! Peace be with you.

Of course it works, why not?. I love making workable things out of scrap junk. Done planes, motorcycles, cars... I reckon you have the same tendency to re-use junk , preferably in unexpected ways. But I do it mostly to use it, you do it for the hell of it. KUDOS !!!

I love it, it's a lot more work than just the exhaust driven turbo but it was a fun experiment. I just don't think the starter motor is meant to run more than a few seconds at a time but if you find a way to cool it somehow it may last

Love this guy with ton of ideas.

The turbo in a Lada? WoW! It works!
