hello everyone...

currently I'm looking for the smallest turbo out there....

noit the best for D series turbo.. but the smallest turbo that can be easily picked out of a junk yard.. this is for an experiment I plan with some Smokey technology that never got out into the main stream......

note I expect that some welding and loting will be required to get this right I don't expect it to be a bolt up affair so smallest one out there....

 

*** 1.8T Golf turbo... that's one tiny *****. I'm not sure if it's smaller, but it's pretty damn small as well, the T25. If you wanna get stupid small, like a ******* cracker-jack prize small... you can look for a T18 from a 1.0l three cylinder Pontiac Firefly turbo. There is also a T20, but I'm not certain what cars these fawkers came on.

Whatcha thinkin?

 

I can prolly get you a T3 for $50 with a blown seal on the exhaust side...

 

Jay is bored...

He is thinking turbo his Caravan.

 

I'm getting a 3rd gen civic for cheap and converting from fuel injection back to carb.... then going to try a smokey Yunick experiment on it....

Hot air here I come......... (yes I'm crazy)

I want and very very small turbo for this experiment I want to take the boost a turbo can produce out of the picture......

 

Wow, 1984 Magazine... that's old school bro.

3rd gen Civic, sweet

 

yes but the technology is something I want to play with because it makes sense..... and it uses the excess heat that is produced.... which is a good thing....

 

if I wanted to do that I'd go to www.turbocaravans.com

 

the 80s were a very poor time for automotive history Jason... don't look upon that time very kindly.

 

true ... I'm just goofing around with deposable income.... actually I found all this on theoldone.com....

anyways the idea presented there makes perfect sense .. but with the alumuim head on civics I think I'd melt it.... but it would be fun....

 

my deisel jetta winter car has a REALLLLLLLLY small turbo

like smaller then a golf ball hehe

 

jetta deasil has a T2

but the probe and capri's have a ihi rhb5 that is very small...or a T25 you coudl find probobly

 

HA... mine beats all that T18 from a Pontiac Firefly.

 

hmmm not sure if this will work according to TOO on that www.theoldone.com

I'm thinking a one way reversion prevention valve though to keep the carb cool would allow me to see if the preheating of the mixture works or not.....

 

I'm too lazy to read that right now... the PDF docs are so slow

 

yeah .... slow but worth it .. the technology makes sense from a fuel atomization aspect but the independant testing found the turbo did most of the work and not the heating....

although I like the Idea of using a turbo for mixing the fuel up with the air ... the issue is the compressing gas creates heat ... heat and gas vapours could mean big bang....in the intake manifold.....

 

thats an interesting theory.... i didn't read the whole article but there has to be a downside to this..... or it would be on all our cars now a days.... or maybe the oil companies made that technology disappear....

although at the time of that article 100 hp per liter wasn't something seen in production cars...


if you want some help welding the piping jason let me know.... i'd be interested to see that type of engine with my own eyes....

 

another small one would be from those 3cyl firefly or whatever they call them... people on homemade use them for atv's and dirtbikes...ahaha.

 

Arctic Cat came out with a sled this year with a turbo 4stroke 600cc i think... now i bet that **** is small probably more money than u want to spend tho...

 

I would be curious to see that also. There was a guy who had a website - 113mpg.com and was using similar technology. I think he was a bit schizo. He made several references to the gov't trying to stop him, being put in the hospital, web-site being shut down etc. He even managed to offer the device for $500 USD up front. As far as I know no one ever saw it. It was being manufactured in Ukrainia???
