collecting exhaust gases is NOT how a turbo works. A turbo is two impeller housings connected by a common shaft. One is spun by the exhaust gases and that spins the other compressing the air and creates boost. It spins at 100,000 rpm's. Have ever seen how much air a blower moves? when we bolted mine up, i started it with out the blower connected and kicked the throttle a few times... this thing moves a serious amount of air

Hey c/w, yes what you say is true. But a turbo does harness waste energy in the form of pressure.
The challenge with exhaust gas collection would be that after the gas is collected, the pressure would drop as the gases cool. You could probably get around this by using a lot of thermal insulation. ------------------ Russ L '91 LX Procharger, 3 row intercooler, extrude honed Cobra intake, Mac full Length Headers, 30# inj., 73mm C&L, 75mm tb, E303 cam, 289 rods, ported E7 heads, MSD, T-Rex w/255 lph Walbro, 5 lug conversion, Cobra R wheels, 3.27 gears and Moser Axles. |
