Message	while the engine idles... Does it spin at all at idle? I'm guessing it does, but how fast? George ________________________________________________________________ "ZRacing91: A Z is something special...but a TTZ is something magical"

(n/m) - MaTT (90TT) 15:38:35 01/11/04 no - aliaZ 15:53:17 01/11/04 yes it does spin at idle - aliaZ 15:49:25 01/11/04 Probably only a few thousand RPM at idle.. - AshsZ 15:56:16 01/11/04 180,000!!! I had read more like 80,000... - ZEngineer 16:00:32 01/11/04 80,000 is slow.. That's like single turbo Supra wheelRPM. - AshsZ 16:06:02 01/11/04 Pull out the thermodynamics book and do a calculation - shirow 17:02:59 01/11/04 I would be forever endebted to you... =) (n/m) - AshsZ 17:35:18 01/11/04 I have some formulas for this whole procedure and the answer - Carlos Ramirez 19:24:50 01/11/04 Well, I was thinking it was probably around 2HP or so.. - AshsZ 19:36:56 01/11/04 turbos work off exhaust energy. Idea efficient - Carlos Ramirez 20:08:22 01/11/04 Where's that powerpoint pres. from the other night, - NSANY(ATL) 08:23:36 01/12/04 yeah I haven't gotten it yet.. he did a good job (n/m) - Carlos Ramirez 10:08:55 01/12/04 It takes 15 to 30 HP to run a super charger. So why - MikeH(Twin GT35BB Incon Z) 22:17:33 01/11/04 A centrifugal compressor has significantly less frictional - AshsZ 23:01:12 01/11/04 You still have to accelerate mass and pump air at - MikeH(Twin GT35BB Incon Z) 00:48:34 01/12/04
