Alex, Cody here from L2L coatings. Thank you for the awesome video. I will include my buisness card when we send your turbo back and if you have ANY questions, feel free to reach out!

@AlexLTDLX 2 года назад

Thanks Cody. I shipped it out today to Mark's attention... really looking forward to testing this out!

Never used that company's coatings but have used a competitor for over 10 years on various engine & driveline components & the stuff works!

Thanks for the tip of the flap wheel.

Another great video Alex. Very interesting. Can't wait to see the results as usual.

@AlexLTDLX 2 года назад

You and me both!

@802Garage 2 года назад

Will def be interesting to see if you can measure the gains.

@garagecedric 2 года назад

The coating normally should result in 1-2 percentage points of efficiency, it works well. Didnt know it was available for regular DIYers though. :)

@Army4690 2 года назад

Hi! I work here at L2L coatings. We do turbos, superchargers (rotors and housings), pistons, engine bearings, and anywhere you may want to tighten up clearances.

Cool beans ! Yes I'm a "car" guy and try to absorb as much info on port design and modifications as I can. Oh how I long for a flow bench. Thanks for this bit of tech. 👍👍😄

@c4r5on88 2 года назад

I'd love to own a flow bench also to see if my DIY porting worked

@AlexLTDLX 2 года назад

Thanks for watching. There are some DIY flowbenches out there - and they're pretty accurate (my machinist built one and it was spot-on with a superflow; unfortunately, I don't remember specifics about his bench).

I may have found a really cheep toyota turbo im thinki g of trying something similar to what you built. I have 4 19v motors from a hover board and a set of hover skattes going to try a chain drive or gear drive with them dobt no how well it will work but eventually ill b able to aford to build sonthing better later on. Thanks again for another great video can't wait to c that thing on the dino again with a better torqconverter that wont slipp so much have a good day!!!!!!!

Thanks Steve.

@boltonky 2 года назад

Be interested to see how much the coating increases efficiency and how close the tolerances are once its done. I have done a couple of different coatings over the years testing intakes etc on Quad bikes and such and found it can provide such a range of results depending on thickness, how smooth it is, what the coating is made from or is. That even if it doesn't do whats expected it will provide results :) Thanks for you time

@AlexLTDLX 2 года назад

I agree - no matter what, it'll be interesting! Thanks for watching and subscribing.

@joek4721 2 года назад

Is that the stock cover? I'm aware that s/c compressors are very low trim in order to create good boost with minimal rpms. But that setup has almost 0 diffuser area, that's what does alot of the "compressing", and it's a very important part for efficiency.

@AlexLTDLX 2 года назад

Yes, it is the stock cover.

@tedbear631 2 года назад

All I can say for certainty is I want a sledgehammer for my car and just please if you sell these eventually don't follow the standard car trends of charging people outrageous sums of money for one. It's already enough of a pain just installing things like this for any non turbo car.

@AlexLTDLX 2 года назад

Still very much in a development phase. I really believe there is a lot more power to be had from the right combination of parts.

@WholesaleTurbos 11 месяцев назад

Ihi did this on their VF series turbos about 20 years ago on their vf34. From memory it was a Teflon based coating and was only on the radius which is where the compression occurs on a turbo. Since your compressor is more like a centrifugal supercharger doing the volume makes sense. But the boost you're running may not see any real gains, maybe single digit

@AlexLTDLX 11 месяцев назад

We did dyno test it, and I did a deep dive on the data: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-41XEVzvYvSw.html

Hey Alex, great vid, I have been searching online for info on porting and polishing the volute. I have considered running a meth nozzle to the volute, a tiny one say 62cc nozzle as it is a small K04 turbo. But a little concerned of running meth so close to such a heat source. What are your thoughts? I already have a single nozzle meth kit was just thinking of adding a 2nd one.

@AlexLTDLX 7 месяцев назад

Thanks. I did run three meth nozzles into the volute, and then we dyno tested it - it definitely picked up power. Here's the video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b9d5xv9INmw.html I had similar concerns, but not due to heat, but due to running the meth so close to 35,000 watts of electricity. If you're smart about your lines, there's a good chance you'll be fine. If you're really worried, you could make the lines near the turbo out of stainless tubing - don't use aluminum or regular steel - meth can be corrosive to both of them.

@sareph69 7 месяцев назад

@@AlexLTDLX Thanks for the advice, I would love to run a small nozzle into mid volute. I did some research on heat shielding and sleeves and I think routing above and away from the turbski as it is rear mount then the exposed piping will be minimal.

@bleach_drink_me 2 года назад

How big is that impeller?

@AlexLTDLX 2 года назад

6" exducer; about 152mm.

@bleach_drink_me 2 года назад

@@AlexLTDLXmakes my 71mm turbos seem small. Impressive impeller you got there 👏

@AlexLTDLX 2 года назад

I'm sure the impeller I have spins a lot slower - speed makes up for a lot. Imagine an electric motor that makes 53hp at 1,000 rpm - it would weigh a couple hundred pounds. Now look at the motor I'm using on this electric turbo - it also makes 53 hp (we've actually seen as much as 47 hp out of it); but you can hold it in the palm of your hand. Both can do the same amount of work, they just do it differently.
