Tell me if I'm crazy guys but I had this idea the other night about putting a turbo charger on my spare 200. I plan on making it a very mild 6, mild cam, 3x1 Holley 1904 (glass bowl of course) or 2 weber 32/36, HEI, 250 head, decked block and all.
But I've been thinking of adding a turbo, but the plumbing sucks especially with headers, so why not create an electrically powered turbo! It's run off the alternator like the auto choke. It doesn't need to be über powerful but just a little extra pizaz. It could work possibly like how a starter works, the magnets spin it.
This way you don't have to do crazy plumbing it'd take up much less space (due to not needed plumbing). It'd sit where the AC compressor or where the power steering sits, since I don't have either.
Give me your thoughts and the feasibility of this.
Thanks guys!
