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.

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.

They might sustain more continuous current but the intermittent current wont be all that different. Starters routinely pull more than 100a for something like a Lada in summer and probably close to 200a in winter. If you fed this starter 24v it would quadruple the output.

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).
@bo-dine7971

The reason they used a start motor is that they knew those things are VERY powerful, hence the amazing result. However they obviously pull massive current & will drain the battery quick, there is also a bigger issue which is that starter motors are designed to operate for short amount of time so they have 0 provisions for cooling & even if you drive them at reduced power they overheat REAL quick, that's why he was really hesistant to use it outside of these very short bursts. But, for this kind of inneficient setup where you want good power especially for a bit of a joke project they are awesome! It's actually quite genius because it's the most SIMPLE yet powerful bolt-on for when you just want your car to accelerate real quick or something like that.
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.

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)

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 😁

All great points, excellent comment. Allow me to add to the conversation: Alternators generally max out at 100-200 watts output, this would be drawing off the cars battery primarily for the required current- For example: Treadmill motor puts out 1/3 hp (©250 watts), a V8 starter motor between 1 to 1.5hp (©750-1250 watts), and a diesel starter motor between 5-7hp (©3750-5250 watts). 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. Basically you need a 20hp or above electric motor, controller, capable batteries, and gearing to achieve 30,000+ rpm to match the boost provided by a stock turbocharger on a 4 cylinder, which is quite cost prohibitive.

Excluding battery charging which is only a temporary load after startup, that is 500+W required for baseline operation, basic comfort and regulatory compliance.

Well, a turbocharger should have lubrication with oil, so that would be a nice addition. If it needs to be a separate system (from the engine itself) then add an oil reservior, and pump for it. You can tune the spin rate of the turbo, based on the revs. I'm not sure about the way the revs are shown on the dash in the old Ladas, but as soon as you have any reading, you can convert that interval and map to a controller that controls the spin of the turbocharger. Just quick tips :) Contact me if any help needed with the electronic part of the stuff! Tho' I'm sure you can figure it out! :D
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.
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.

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,😉

You need to verify times and mph on a 1/4 mile track. With and without the system functioning. also suggest a blow off valve along intake with an oil line to the turbo so bearings dont freeze. Dont think you need a waste gate because your not running any exhaust. May also need bigger injectors with a calibrated mass air for fuel so you dont run lean and detonate if really are pushing cfm. Lower compression needed for pistons if pushing serious cfm and may also want to run atleast premium gas for it so less contaminates cause detonation.

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

sounds reasonable to me.More reliable also.

starter will not run 60000 anyways. most of these smaller turbos run 30-40k.They have two multiplying pulley sets so starter actually runs around 10-15x slower than turbo.

That's why they're using pulleys. Now you know any BLDS with more than 1,5kw as a starter have?

@@emanuelgoncalvessantos4499 you can't say "thats why" if i just said thats why :D joseph said that burshless wont run 60k , but smaller boost turbos event don't run 60k and they are using multiplication so it's not needed for brushless to run 60k. that was my point. I understand very well that they have low speed, high torque motor hence pulley system.

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

LOL. That might be possible with a front wheel drive car.
Make it with a clutch wheel so that it continues to spin when you turn off the starter motor.
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
Again.. funny as .... thanks guys,. Good to see another project from you guys. Hope you are all save and healthy✌
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
The Russian folks are good people. I can't say the same of their leaders.

I suppose you think zelensky isn't a nazi also 😂.
it still needs better tuning , the smoke that came out of the exhaust is called detonation ,it is when your air/fuel mixture ignites before the spark. you could use a fuel regulator to get more fuel in the mixture which will enhance the power since it wouldn't run lean anymore and fuel regulators are cheap as well.
Turbos take a hi-pressure oil feed off the engine block to the 2x plain bearings holding the impeller shaft. I didn't seen any provision for providing oil on this otherwise excellent piece of "standalone engineering"!! Develop it into a retro-fit kit and sell it as part of your "Merch". :-)
That’s considered more of a supercharger than a turbo
You boys are brilliant on the tools I love the way u fabricate and fetal bits a pieces I find it brilliant to watch 👍👍
Run the belt right to the engine. use a AC clutch to cycle the supercharger on or off. Like nitrous. Maybe some scuba tanks for boost also.
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.
Can’t help noticing the subtle blue and yellow acknowledgement. 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
I absolutely love your experiments. You guys are great!!
Get a 4 speed blower motor switch from a climate control system. You have four different levels of power 25% 50% 75% and 100%. Run the switch output to your blower motor power input. This has a massively bad lag time. The turbo should always be spinning somewhat. If you leave the blower motor switch on low or medium low positions you should idle fine. Positions medium-high and high should be connected to a switch on the gas pedal or throttle so the turbo will only spool up at wide open throttle. Unless the gas pedal is pressed to the floor the blower motor will remain in the low or medium low setting. If you properly hook up your electrical this can be achieved with relays.
The turbo in a Lada? WoW! It works!
Who can not love those crazy happy boys?))
Best car channel on KZread hands down
You're in the good path to make an eTurbo now you just need 2 things A variable resistance to control the RPM of the electric motor so you control the boost and a fine tune starting from the Idle ( no boost but still turning the turbo has to always be spinning otherwise it chokes the engine air intake ) to the max rev at full throttle and then you should see some nice boost, not even talking about de gasoline intake but if you use a carburetor it might simplify thing in one hand but will make some other things harder, anyway that's one really interessting project here guys good luck !
you guys do th craziest shit. I love it!!!! the fabrication!! you guys are living the dream!!!
So 24v stater .with correct pullis. Planty of tourqe. Ad secound battery please More should be done on this idea. Love your channel. God bless. Mick Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️
I have no doubt that this is where Porsche got the idea of electrically driven turbochargers.
A thumb up even for your music playing in the background when you work the metal my Russian friends. I am happy to from time to time see positively minded folks like you
Starter has a lot of torque but isn't designed to run for longer periods. I would put it on its own power supply.. make sure it has adequate amperage and it will run cooler. You would gain power by changing out the pulleys to maximize how fast the blower pulley spins without burning out the starter. A simple button that has to be held down to activate could be mounted under the gas pedal. Extend it and possibly put a spongey material above it so it will activate 3/4 throttle and not hender your gas pedal from going all the way down. You let up and it stops. Or..... a potentiometer that is mounted next to the gas pedal rod. It will increase power as you push on the gas. I'm jealous. You guys are having too much fun 😆
