Hi Everyone
I'd consider myself a good fabricator and so so at the technology aspect so here's my project so far.
I built a few projects with my most current project being a drive by wire OM606 swapped into a W124 chassis with a 8HP70 from a BMW running a TurboLamik controller for the transmission and a factory heavily modified Mercedes Benz EDC controller for the engine. This allowed me to set up and utilize the CAN bus from the OEM EDC to communicate with the TurboLamik controller. Tis gives the car a refined and polished driving experience while also having things like torque managed shifts, transbrake, launch mode etc. Overall its very good. Especially given its a big turbo (SXE 252) and a big pump (7.7mm).
But obviously its still slow to light off the turbo, which is expected.
My first avenue was to do a compound with a JLR 48V turbo, but finding anyone to help develop a CAN controller seems impossible.
So I've been thinking i could easily machine a mount for a high power motor to drive the compressor until drive pressure can take it from .8bar to 3.5bar. Based on the compressor map, that needs to be about 30,000 RPM.
Based on my limited knowledge, that seems completely doable with a controller and motor, the biggest question here is how much TQ is required to make .8bar?
Another benefit might be overdriving the turbo would also allow the turbine scavenge the exhaust
Thoughts?
