Alternator Belt Driven Turbo? Whadya Think?
http://www.boosthead.com/home.php
Comments, thoughts, idiotic stabs at humor? Could be a good solution for cars without a ton of aftermarket support.

would there be space to stick the turbo in somewhere?
the engine bay isn't spacious to begin with....and less space if you have a PWR in there

The name "turbocharger" comes from "turbine", the turbine being the blades driven by the exhaust gases. Regardless of what they call it, it's a belt driven supercharger. I think SVXFiles has fit one, or tried one anyway, installing it where the battery is located.

wow, props to SVXfiles for trying something new. How much do you figure all that ran in the end? How much boost was it able to produce, etc...

![]() I have $82,349.68 in stainless steel bolts and nuts alone. $721.15 in belts, $1182.05 in aluminum angle iron, plus intercoolers, waste gates, boost guages, widebands, laptops, wires, plating, spacers, aluminum 3" tubing, FOUR superchargers, five SC mounts, a wife and the respect of my children....... So far I've seen, actually my son Nick has seen 7psi at 6000 rpm. Note; 7psi on a PORTED engine is as much flow as say, 9 psi on a stock engine. On my last much smaller supercharger, I had 8psi before I ported the engine, and 6 psi after porting. You want air flow, not just pressure. ![]() It's hard to watch guages at 100 on a back a$$ windy road at 7 psi. ![]() j/k about the $82,349.68. ![]() ![]()
