Been collecting / hoarding *happy*

A VNT22, a comprex wave supercharger, and three IHI RX6D turbochargers.

The IHI RX6D's were used on the McLaren F1 car, got them unused for an absolute steal of a price that included 5 wastegates!

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo


These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.

Looks like it's an energy recovery system that directly drives the crank and also compresses air for the engine.

From memory it uses exhaust pressure to rotate the turbine and compress the intake charge at the same time, there is quite a good explanation in the Allard book.

Been a long time,but iirc the belt drives a rotating cylinder,exhaust gas enters at one end,directly compresses inlet air and then passes to the exhaust.Porting in the ends of the cylinder control inlet and exhaust flow.

'Where does the engine go?'
