New Skyline to feature Electric Assist Turbos?

[Gopherkid]

I wonder how the electric assist will turn out if they do throw it on the skyline? It would be badass if they could get the same responce that variable veins did for the 911. Diesel level torque in sports cars is awsome:D

Cool I guess, I am not a fan of instant spool, low end with no top end power. The VNT turbos is where its at, once they make them bigger.

I agree. VTN FTW!
They must have some strong motors. Spooling a turbo is no easy task, just the frictional losses can add up to a few HP

It's 1.75 KW to the shaft, about 2 KW input. Which is about 2.3 HP to the shaft. I only skimmed the info but that's what I picked up.

I may just have to call the development team over at garrett to see if they need someone to test these puppies. They use our Laser Vibrometers during their development stages.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Thats gonna happen!!!

Very interesting stuff here. I also like to see how it plays out on the new Skylines. But that is just some crazy stuff there.

Hell, I'll just build my own assisted turbo with a big 12V exhaust fan, like they sell on Ebay. My 3575 will hit full boost by 2000rpm. Mmmmmm, boost.

Laser Vibrometers
sounds kinky

I'm confused?

They want to make power in the power band that's for daily driving and expect fuel economy :confused:
