DIY Electric Turbo: Sledgehammer Assembly

[MrChris]

when its ready to be sold as a dyi kit let me know. I am jealous of your machining skills I have none. keep up the good work. I was expecting the motor mount to have bearings for some reason. lol.

This is phenomenal man. I just started twin charging my 03 Subaru 2.5 RS that has an EJ25 STi swap and I looked into the world of electric forced induction as an option for a few weeks but I ended up going with a centrifugal supercharger/TD04R turbo. Amazing machining skills and quite an engineering feat man!

I worked on my grandpas farm with tractors and other heavy equipment and soon followed with wanting to make more power with great reliability. In the proccess Ive come to learn heat is almost always gonna be your enemy. Its also VERY expensive.

Quite a bit of time has past and now I own a 2016 LML Duramax makin around pushing 32psi. Intake temps and EGT's are such a pain in the ass and there is no way of getting around them with the typical turbo set up. Ive looked into supercharging and everyone says it's not for diesels due to parasitic loss and what not. And really the only thing that comes up is Detroits 2stroke engine with blower style setups which are meh at best

As soon as I heard about electric turbos I instantly knew how much of a game changer those could be and also knew the limitations. This whole setup you have here is some seriously clean and professional work

Love the update, been waiting for this since the unboxing of the motor.

Amazingly gifted. This is who should have a million viewers

[MikeyNDa]

Got here from watching an intake video. This is awesome can't wait to see what this electric supercharger does.

[RockandRollRC]

My favorite so far!

All the cool kids in the rc world use LMT and MGM. I'm excited to see your results.

[pierrelaboom]

Well now I'm hammered, I just woke up, now I'm gonna watch the video...again!

[jamesshamley]

Most prep anyone has ever done for an april fools joke.
Kidding, it's really cool.

[streamlobby]

I have been patiently waiting for this how did I miss the must protect this man at all cost!!!!

[boltonky]

I like the fact you are trying :), cause making power to run things in a vehicle is relatively easy but finding something to then power a device efficiently to do a job is the hard thing.
The advantage to all this in this day and once you have a working prototype its easy to have someone make it and or upgrade it to suit production.
Keep it up and thanks

How freak’n cool is this! Can’t believe I’ve never come across your channel before. Definitely gonna be watching the progress on this project. Watched some older videos and clearly the naysayers can eat crow because that is a legit electric supercharger right there! Good stuff!

[senorpablo]

💪🏽 beast mode I would love to install this in my 99 v8 sho

isnt this an electric centrifugal supercharger? since its not exhaust driven but instead driven by the motor. for en "electric turbo" it would have to be more akin to an F1 MGU-H, where the electric motor powers the shaft of the turbo in the space between the hot and cold sides (though arguably, that could also be seen as an "all in one twin charger" as it becomes both motor and exhaust driven, like a twin charging setup)

[Lucaspc]

Really looking foward to the test of this! Nice video!

[jimbojones]

I was just about to sub when I heard the support of war at the end, I wanted to see your cool new turbo not think of half a million needlessly dead

[garycsfunlife]

It's not about the most expensive tools ! It's about the quality of the parts you can make with the tools you have to work with !

[NKPGarage]

Very nice work on the machining and precision!

I think you'll find that as the gaffertape "yields" the clamp bolts loosen and rattle out. Slowly because of the viscosity of the anti seize

4:28 I don't understand what the position sensor help you to do?
