  • CAN YOU RUN A CHEAP TURBO ON A JUNKYARD BLOWER MOTOR? COMPOUND BOOST BABY! CHECK OUT PART 3 OF THE 3800 L32 VIDEO SERIES WHERE I ADDED A CHEAP, EBAY GT45 TURBO TO THE EQUALLY CHEAP, JUNKYARD 3800 SERIES 3 L32 V6. THE V6 WAS ALREADY FACTORY EQUIPPED WITH AN M90 (ROOTS) SUPERCHARGER. BACK IN PARTS 1 & 2, WE FIXED THE HEADS AND THEN ADDED MODS, BUT NOW IT WAS TIME TO ADD EXTRA BOOST FROM A TURBO! WILL IT MAKE BOOST? WILL IT EVEN SURVIVE? FULL RESULTS WITH BOOST CURVES! ENJOY.

    7psi is a pressure ratio of 1.48
    10psi is a pressure ratio of 1.69
    Multiplied is a pressure ratio of 2.5
    Which is a positive pressure of 21.8 seems negligible considering we dont have the raw data and we don't know in increase of the air temp. Awesome video, love seeing actual engineering in "real world" testing!

    Richard holder
    On one of his videos Gail Banks discovered that you can compound into a turbo because it likes high airflow
    But the positive displacement supercharger wasn't making very much additional horsepower when they compounded a turbo into it.. but it was producing an excessive amount of heat.
    Gail hypothesized that the blower doesn't like being compounded into it so if you could compound the blower into the turbo that would be ideal.
    Would be nice to see that blower, into an intercooler, into the turbo, into an after cooler, into the intake.
    Should compress the air most efficiently without excess heat

  • @tuningwithstyx
    @tuningwithstyx 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    So a lot of guys who run the turbo and the blower will setup the bypass valve on the supercharger to open once the turbo starts producing some boost. The theory is that the turbo is going to be more efficient at making power so with the bypass valve open the turbo does all of the work and keeps the temps cooler, and reduces the parasitic loss from the blower.
    Then they would just reference total boost pressure from the turbo for the wastegate but have it set higher than what the supercharger can produce
    I personally have always wanted to try it the way you did it here, I figure why not let the supercharger compound it a bit if it's going to be there and just run an intercooler and/or E85 to keep things cool. Run a large pulley with the M90 to minimize the amount of heat it's making and still benefit from having the blower but let the turbo do the heavy lifting on the top end

    • @dallynsr
      @dallynsr 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Solid flat tappets have more parasitic loss than solid rollers but flat tappets go real big hp.

  • @donaldsonjeoboham8759
    @donaldsonjeoboham8759 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    If I was to run a set up of this nature, I would go with a larger turbo. With the supercharger hitting down low, you don't have to worry about lag anymore and when the supercharger runs out of steam up top, thats when I would have the turbos come alive. Best of both worlds, toqrque down low and top end power of a turbo

    Thank you Richard very much appreciate the Buick v6 supercharged turbocharged compound combination, it's time to move on up to the current stuff that people are running today since you're all about the other guys engines, let's get a late model gen-6 Camaro 2.0L 4 cylinder turbo strap that puppy on up to your Dino and let's make some noise, and I have you know GM also made a 2.5L version of the same engine that was not available on the gen-6 Camaro, now that is something you might want to look into as well, you can get these engines relatively affordably, I can tell you this I own a 2018 Camaro with the 4-cylinder Turbo and I managed to get the car as fast as 1260s in 1/4 Mile and to my understanding there is more performance to be had from this combination, show us how it's done!...

      The 2.5l is a big boy and theyre actually fairly common. Base Malibu and minitrucks have them and they are rated around 200hp. The turbo engines have a high density spincast head but there really arent much differences.when gm started pounding on these drag racing, the lost foam heads would start eroding the chambers and the heads would eventually fail. All of them from 2007 up have a better head and heavier PM rods and the geniii from 2013+ have a forged crank.the 2.0 has a little thicker sleeves and that might be important if you are running stupid boost. The 2.4l that was in millions of cars has port injection and a 58x trigger pattern. There is also lots of 10-15 year old cars in the junkyard. I am pretty sure it uses the same bellhousing and ignition trigger as the 3800 and would be pretty easy to get running on the dyno with port injection.

    There are other precursor engines to GM 3.8L V6, including the 3.3L V6 and the 3.0L V6. Do a stroker V6 for quicker boost and awesome HP gains. My former Pontiac Grand Am had a NA 3.3L V6 and OEM roller/hydraulic cam, just get larger valve covers to fit roller rocker arms and an easy 5-10 HP gain. Boosted, but only if the lower end of the engine had lower compression pistons and gas ported rings. Hint, hint, when porting heads, open up intake ports for better volume and minimal smoothing on exhaust ports for higher velocity, port matching, volumetric balance for best results. Now you have a selection of OEM roller hydraulic cam options, I wish you well.

    I have a mercedes E55 that I added a turbo to. I added a PT6870 to the factory blower with stock pulley. I wanted more power and wanted to keep the brutal bottom end the E55 is known for. The project is a success! The car is a beast to drive and makes everybody scratch their head when they see it. I do suffer from a total lack of tuning support on the platform so a stand alone ECU is in the works for winter. Then I will turn it up and see how it goes. I have a banks data monster and I still need to add boost and temp taps out of the turbo and out of the blower to get more data, but my lack of traction show it is making a lot more power than before. I don't have any good video of it but there are a couple clips on my TH-cam account. Thanks Richard for the content I love it!

    A 231 Cubic inch engine with an M90 Eaton blower is "like" a 321 cubic inch engine normally aspirated. Add an M112, it's best assuming it is a 343 Before Turbo. So the extra compound boost isn't really limited by the extra "aluminum Eaton Lung"...your better off assuming it's now a 321 V8....before Turbo. The extra cubes of any postie displacement Roots style blower is about as volumeteically efficient as the engine it's sitting on is. VE tops out on both the 231 GM3800 and Eaton M90 at about 65% at peak rpm.

    • @Joshie2256
      @Joshie2256 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I agree with you in concept, but I do the math differently. If the blower is making around 8 psi then the volumetric efficiency is about 150% of NA so the 231 looks to the turbo like 347 ci.

At lease with this engine. I want to build up my daily driver SSEi like this but not do it exactly the same. not with the exact parts Richard used and stay with the OE PCM if that could be done. Richard used a series 3 which has the powedered hot forged steel rods and I'm still running a set of nicely customized Cast rods and OE pistons but really would like to build my engine with a set of moly rods and forged pistons, and a bit less compression ratio to assist with the turbo part and the higher boost pressures. Get it down to closer to a flat 8:1 instead of 8.5. And install the intercooler, Air to water. under the S.C'r, wondering how it would work to have a cooler after the turbo then under the charger, if the heat exchanger would be able to handle both cooling cores?

    I recall a similar discussion when I twin charged my 2.0L Ecotec in my Redline. The blower spools the turbo and then the turbo up quicker and in turn it force feeds the blower so if the turbo is pushing 7# before the blower. Once 7# of compressed air hits the blower, it works as a boost multiplier. It doesn't add to the boost pressure it multiplies it as the motor and blower increase in RPM and the compressed air charge passes through the impellers into the intake. I dont know all the math off the top of my head but what ever the turbo can pack into the 91 cu ft of air per hour that the M91 blower compresses and moves through it Shooting from the hip to me it looks like the blower is multiplying the compressed charge by factor of 2.7X-3X through out the power band. 3k 4#v12#(3X), 4K 5#v14#(2.8X), 5K 6#v18#(3X), 6K 9#v24#(2.7X). The blower I think was probably running out of efficiency over 6K were you able to spin it up to 7K on any of the runs? Also my offer to port one of the blower housings and the inlet for a larger throttle body are still open. I don't recall if the 3800 was drive by wire or not, if so the Larger LS4 throttle body should fit it allowing more air through both and I need to know if its an 8pin or 6pin connector so i know whether I need to sent the adapter harness with it or not. That's if you're open to making those mods. Let me know.

I had a 2000 V6 Mustang with a twin turbo that made 370 wheel horsepower and 398ft-lbs at 13psi with a pair of t3/t04 hybrid turbos. Wasn't as fast as a cobra, but the insurance was way cheaper!

    the supercharger multiplies the incoming pressure ratio. You should have ended up with 2.37:1, or just over 20 psig. So you're getting a little bonus, or some sensors aren't reading exactly.
    fwiw, Harrop experimented with the 1.9L TVS blower (as on the LSA) on the series 3.

    @shanederwent 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    My understanding of compound boost systems is you multiply the individual pressure ratios together, not add them.
    So the turbo running 7psi has a PR of 1.4 and the supercharger at 12psi has a PR of 1.8.
    1.4 * 1.8 = 2.6 (39psi) which is about 24psi(gauge)
    Really starts to make a big difference when the PR's are over both 2 (14.7psi)

      You are correct, the pressure ratios multiply

    • @nemanja162
      @nemanja162 ปีที่แล้ว

      You are both mistaken.
      You need to differentiate between PR and Boost PSI numbers. If the air being fed to the SC or small turbo is compressed then 14.7psi is no longer the atmospheric pressure it sees is it.
      I have a compound turbo setup on my car. Boost pressures do add together, however you need to look at it like this
      Big turbo ingests air from atmosphere which is 14.7psi and multiplies it by 2x for a total boost of 14.7psi gauge(29.4psi absolute) - So PR is 2:1
      Small turbo(or sc) inlet sees 29.4psi absolute at its inlet now. So for it to also have a PR of 2:1 it has to output 29.4psi itself.
      So boost at the big turbo is 14.7psi and the small turbo is 29.4psi. Both PRs are still 2:1 and total boost is 44.1psi.
      2:1 x 2:1 minus atmospheric pressure = 3bar or 44.1psi.
      Thats how boost PSi numbers can add together but the PRs do multiply. A great source of information is the compound turbo thread on yellowbullet.com by Kevin Jewer.

    I would like to see a test between a certain boost level into the intake of the supercharger with a stock 3.8 pulley, and then running the smallest pulley you have with a lower boost into the supercharger. It would be cool to see if the restriction people complain about with compounding these engines is only due to a stock pulley and not spinning the supercharger very fast.

      Not a great idea running solid lifters on an hydraulic cam. Hydraulic cams typically have .006" closing ramps on both intake and exhaust. Solid Lifter cams usually have .012" intake and .018" exhaust. Over time, an hydraulic cam will beat up a solid lifter valvetrain. It's no problem to use hydraulic lifters on a solid lifter cam.

      I think that's because Gale was using a twin screw supercharger, which has internal compression, vs a roots, which is just an "air mover" that relies completely upon the restriction provided by the engine's ability to receive the incoming charge )or in the case of the Buick, lack thereof).

    So I'm guessing the missing variable for the extra boost is the percentage of boost the blower is at over atmospheric. So in an equation it would look something like this 10+7a=23 guessing at your barometric pressure for that day I'm assuming about a 75% increase over atmospheric with blower only so if u solve for a=1.75 or 75% it comes out to 22.25psi and that's pretty close for what it is! So Kool that the blower boosts the boost!! Love your videos bud keep up the great work!

    I don’t think most people know how compound boost works. 7 psi + 10 psi = 23 psi? This doesn’t make sense at first if you don’t know what to look for. Since these boost pressures are just multipliers of atmospheric pressure, the math is different. Look up a compound boost chart on google images.
    I believe it’s 10 psi / 7 psi =1.42
    14.7(atmosphere) * 1.42 = 21psi roughly

    okay, so why I would consider a supercharger and then a compounded turbo later, is I'd be using a vvt 1.6L engine that doesn't make a ton N/A maybe 95hp at the wheels but would build it for high rpm. I'd consider a compound dual turbo build, but I'm not sure if overall engine response would be worse, as I believe superchargers effectively increase lower rpm torque as well as overall torque vs a gradual increase with a single turbo
