Oh so self contained describes oiling the shaft in the compressor?

 

Yea Elijah, turbo that bitch. I still haven't gotten a chance to see your wagon. Shoulda came out to Maryland this weekend.

 

self contained means that there is no external oil lines...its self lubricated

 

The wagon will be turbo-ed soon, still gathering parts for it, going to try blow through carb and 8-10psi with a single T70.

The cam I have is nowhere near a turbo grind (too much duration) so it'll be kinda experimental on this 302 while I slowly buy parts for the 351 rebuild.

 

Turbo's... I love 'em.

 

how bout dem good ole electric turbos

 

vortech and paxton are oil fed, via engine oil. procharger is completly self contained...it uses its own brand synthetic oil. powerdyne doesnt have either cause its belt driven (internally)

 

I did not say all ATI blowers were self contained. I said all prochargers are self contained.

 

I was actually going to bring up the new(er) electric turbo that I've seen advertised. Not the ebay blow dryer, but rather a compressor thats hooked up to a motor with a built in capacitor of sorts. It basically stores a large electric charge and can be suddenly released like nitrous they claim. 20psi within under a second, and around a 15 second burst or so. Any thoughts? I know garret has been working on electric turbo's for a while now. Also no one has mentioned VATN turbos yet either, which surprises me.

 

that is still incorect...ati is procharger
