You can put a turbo anywhere along the exhaust, there was a 205 with a turbo in place of the rear silencer. Tubing would have to be quite small to keep lag down, though. We know about remote turbos, but this thread is about remote supercharger powered by an auxiliary engine.

Yep, if I ever do it, the SC will be at full boost at all time and just dump the excess.

Ok, left wing thought. . . Supercharger = large drive load Turbo = driven by exhaust gasses How about the cold side of a turbo, modify the hot side to accept a belt dive? Less rotating mass so less losses. the gearing to get a belt to drive the turbo cold side at 120,000 rpm would be a nightmare to sort out, and rotex have already done that....lol

Stop drinking the petrol!!I am really liking the idea of remote turbos though Just musing, what if, I haven't got a suitable car to play with at the moment, but you never know

Intresting but wouldn't you be better looking at running the supercharger of a geared electric motor / speed controller linked to the tps? Possibly, as long as the electric motor was run off a separate engine.

Stay with me on this one, There are quite a few cars with remote turbo installations around now which gets over space restrictions in the engine bay, so could a small engine off something like a generator or lawn mower be connected to a supercharger in the boot and piped into the main engine, I can see a couple of advantages 1, no parasitic losses from driving the SC and 2, full boost at all times. I'm I being completely stupid?
EDIT: thinking about this a bit more, if the SC Takes about 30hp to run it at full boost, then I suppose a motorbike engine would be better.

I don't understand - if it's the same head that started when you used easy start (in your first post) then you had compression at that point. Did you check the fuel pump is delivering fuel? Not got a badly blocked filter between the pump and the engine? Again, how do you know you've got no compression? Did you do a test? What readings did you get? I think Roy was exaggerating a bit on the starting with easy start thing, it might just throw the odd flame out the exhaust, I could put my thumb over any of the spark plug holes and when turning the engine over there would be no pressure at all.

I like how is just on 300bhp! I give you a month before is fettled further. . . Well now that you mention it, I have had a bit of a play with the turbo, so it will be going back on the dyno next month, and I do appere to have a complete nitrous kit here doing nothing
