Yeah I need to find a turbo with a choker line past 400 cfm that will still spool quick. If I can get 8 to 10 psi by3200 rpm id be happy. With my built motor and the headwork and cams it should help.

The choke line on a compressor map is an indicator of how much air the compressor can move on it's own without the Rotrex cramming air down it's throat. I just can't say for certain what the effect's will be when you try to do that.
You can pretty easily calculate the choke flow rate of the area of the GT2252 inlet, minus the area of the leading face of the wheel (nut/ wheel hub plus area of the blades), and I'm pretty sure you're still a ways under that (estimating, without having a wheel in front of me to measure for the calculation), but I don't know what other factors to accommodate for. |
Also wouldnt over spinning the smaller turbo become an issue at redline?

In other words you'll need a very big wastegate and a very big bypass valve.
|
No. not with an appropriate wastegate. I think I would run the wastegate on absolute press at the manifold for target boost. Ie you want 18psia fast as possible and hold all the way to redline.. In the low rpms the turbo would boost higher and as tge rotrex starts taking over the turbo would actually push les air because the wastegate is compensating.

No on the bypass valve. A bypass/ bov is totally flow dependant, unless you're trying to cut a blower out of the loop, which you wouldn't be here. I'd use the new Synchronic pypass valve vented to atmo. |
^^ you seem to get the idea.
I think a GT2560R would be a good turbo for this plan. Quick enough to spool and large enough compressor that it shouldn't have much issues allowing 300CFM to flow through it. I think what I may do is instead of running 14PSI on the Rotrex and 5-6PSI on a turbo, run 8-10PSI on both. Keeping both power adders in their efficiency zone which would in turn = lower intake temps and less stress on both the blower and the turbo. |

Keeping both power adders in their efficiency zone which would in turn = lower intake temps and less stress on both the blower and the turbo. I asked about this on another board, and a guy who has done some compound turbo stuff suggested that you divide the mass flow of the system by the PR of the large compressor to get an idea of where in the turbo's compressor map you really are. This puts you all up in the efficiency range on a 2252... |
I agree the 2560 will be too big to do what you want.
I would also agree that you will want a large external wastegate to control boost. With the Rotrex alone you are mechanically limited by its spinning speed from overboosting. But just like the super big gulp of air you are giving the compressor side of the little turbo by force feeding it with the Rotrex, you are going to be seeing far more than it's normal capacity coming into the turbine side from the engine. Much, much more exhaust will be generated than it would be capable of generating itself without the help from the Rotrex. You will need a big EWG to control boost, but with it this setup should work very well and give you solid boost control. |

So right now I am pushing a 2.0PR and 14PSI. So if I want to have a max of say 20PSI then I devide 2.36 (20PSI PR) by 2.0PR of the Rotrex to get 1.18PR. So I need to find a turbo that is efficient in teh 1.18PR area on the map? But at what CFM?
Remember, the turbo compressor's efficiency will improve as the Rotrex continues to build flow and pressure. Lets say at 3000rpm the little turbo by itself could generate 16psi out of your 20psi target. Add to it what capabilities are being added to it by the Rotrex at 3000 rpm and you very well might have your 20 psi. You will get no more than 20 psi because the EWG will cap the boost. But you will get 20psi early and will hold it throughout the rpm range. I would think that any little turbo should be able to get you the last 6psi from what is coming out of your Rotrex. Spooling up quickly to a good PR will be the important part. |
Yeah you and I have similar thinking. That's the idea that brought me to this in the first place. Have a little turbo spool like a madman off the bat and then as the Rotrex takes over the overall efficiency increases and the little turbo can spool down a bit.
Now is the question. Can a GT2252 spool to 15PSI and not be completely out of it's efficiency blowing a shit ton of hot air? I need to play around with some compressor maps. First off I need to find where I am on my Rotrex map from 1000RPM to 8000RPM. |

http://www.squirrelpf.com/turbocalc/map.php http://www.squirrelpf.com/turbocalc/...&product_id=25 Looks good to me. |
So here's a question. When the turbo is spooling say 6PSI while the rotrex is pushing 14PSI through it. Does that mean it's still sitting at a 1.4 PR on the map but waaay over to the right on the lb/min scale? Would that not push it past it's choke line? Or when you said earlier that you devide by 2, then I take whatever CFM the Rotrex is pushing and devide that by two to get what the turbo is actually doing at that 1.4PR?
|
I would have thought the the turbo would need to be able to flow the lb/min entering the engine, but that's just conjecture.
If the turbo is 'sucking' from the rotrex, is that going to effect the level of boost immediately after the rotrex? i.e, the turbo makes the 1.6 behave like a larger engine, I would assume that the rotrex on a larger engine would see more flow and less boost for any given rpm? |

Has anyone pointed out yet that a centri s/c and a turbo aren't exactly complementary?
|
well falcon already said he's doing it because he likes messing with the car,
I say buy two turbos and see which one you like more :) are you going to have two boost gauges? |
