Nismo new tech to reduce TuRbO lag?

http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/images/large/1044-7.jpg
I think most of GTR fans remember this ...?

I read a magazine , it show a picture of how the new technology turbo engine works (Sorry ,I don't have a scanner the pic/"no text" only color box)

The idea is simple , as you know how turbo lag is create .
They connect a electrical motor to the Turbine . when the engine reduce speed and "less" power to pushing the turbine .This electrical motor will start they work to reduce the lag (sure it's control by a Computer unit to detect engine speed ,driver attitude etc ) and the programer behined it are priceless :rolleyes:

I like to collect those info ,anyone found something ? Thank you :2cents:

Yea, its called learn how to type so people know what you are asking.

That car is so hot right now.

Electric assisted turbochargers is nothing new. If the turbocharger needs to produce boost, an electric motor helps the turbocharger to reach its operating speed faster.

Earlier a system using high pressure air to spin up the turbocharger was also tested. It's however not easy to get a system to funcion properly. The air system did for example require large air tanks and a pump (thus it was used on heavy trucks) and the electric assisted system will require an electric motor that can withstand the temperature, not increase inertia significantly but still develope the power required.

The idea with the electric assisted turbocharger was basicly to produce boost earlier and to overcome the inertia of the turbocharger. Anything else will require a way to powerful electric motor.

The technology is developed by the turbocharger manufacturers, mostly Honeywell Turbo Technologies from what I have heard:

Thanks !!
Wondering the future turbo performance Car would have a bright future !! :iceslolan
