    Electric turbo (one that works)

    I meant 10 sec pulls obviously...not 60 sec

    Electric turbo (one that works)

    To convert your 12v to a 36v charger, the best I could find was to run an invertors since there was no economical 12v-36v 18amp charger available. So you run 12v to 110V with correct amp requirement and run your 36V charger off of that

    Finally, for charging, your batteries, you will need a 36v charger similar to

    Electric turbo (one that works)

    For anyone who wishes to duplicate this, you will need: 1. Turbo of your choice (the largest you can find since lag isn't a thing), 2. TP5670-CM motor with 8mm shaft, 3. 400AMP capable ESC, 4. a BEC to provide power to your ESC AND a way to control throttle of the turbo. You can use arduino or...

    Electric turbo (one that works)

    You are correct that you need a good battery bank to get any real run time. I am running 3 90AH batteries in the trunk. You get quite a few 60 minute pulls out of it which means in normal driving you never run out. On a closed circuit race track you most definitely would

    TP5670-CM is your best bet without breaking the bank.

    Upgraded 1UZ Head Studs

    UPDATE: Industrial Grade bolts rated 12.9 are still weaker than automotive grade 10.9. Do NOT buy

    Boosting

    Anything turbo, expect to drop $3000 plus unless you can do all your own welding not to mention wideband kit, larger injectors etc

    Boosting

    Sorry, but there aren't any real bolt on turbo setups for sc400. Most turbo guys flip their exhaust manifolds upside down in order to route the exhaust forward and then weld a flange on the front... If you are looking for bolt on parts, you're best bet is headers, high stall torque converter...

    1uz 2uz vvti hybrid piston question..

    I know it has been discussed ad nauseum that the non vvti 1uz heads can be used on non vvti 2uz block with custom pistons or by shaving part of the oem pistons due to the head combustion chamber being different and the negative piston deck clearance. Does the vvti-1uzfe also have negative piston...

    Blocked Fuel Return Line?

    I might check the hard line on the driver side engine bay where the hose connects to it. There are some bends before it goes below the firewall. When I was installing FMU, I had to move those lines and the hard line wanted to kink. If there was previous work done (engine pulled) the hard lines...

    1uz over heat issues

    If you are still having issues, you should look into a possible BHG. Not as uncommon as you might think.Back in the USA, I lived in AZ and regularly pounded my 1uz, flooring it everywhere with AC on full up hills at when it was 115 degrees outside and never had overheating issues. Fast forward...

    Update: How I built a 500hp electric supercharger and the challenges I had to overcome

    I truthfully have no idea the horsepower..just the boost. And these are crank numbers not whp obviously. I have blown up a 2jzgte from not pulling timing and running high boost. Since I am running on stock ecu with upgraded injectors/FMU and vvti HG/arp studs, I doubt my motor will go before my...

    Update: How I built a 500hp electric supercharger and the challenges I had to overcome

    Edit...after doing more research, it appears Torqueamp motors cannot be used more than 2 min continuously because the lithium batteries overheat. Lithium-ion batteries are actually very heat sensitive and must be regulated to prevent overcharging. In a trunk mount setup without good venting and...

    Update: How I built a 500hp electric supercharger and the challenges I had to overcome

    They are absolutely more practical from the power standpoint. From a cost standpoint, they are twice as expensive and a bit more difficult to source. Torqueamp actually does use a lithium battery but in my case since I live in Central America, I wanted to use a battery that is easily...

    Update: How I built a 500hp electric supercharger and the challenges I had to overcome

    The benefit is that you have 0 lag and can electronically control your turbo responsiveness and rpm without the usage of wastegates etc. The downside is that, unless you can harvest the exhaust gasses to recharge your batteries the way BMW managed to, you only activate the turbo on demand...

    Update: How I built a 500hp electric supercharger and the challenges I had to overcome

    Most guys use cheap ebay plastic knock offs and small blower motors that actual restrict the airflow. If you google Phantom supercharger you can find videos with actual dyno testing and proof of concept that they do work on small displacement engines. I took the concept and supersized...
