..........He got 1 psi boost
At 350 mph the maximum would be 2.15 psi. 1 psi isn't too bad. He would need that 1 psi for the turbo too. I'm going to guess that some of the blown vehicles out there are starving the turbo/blower by not supplying positive pressure to the inlet through the entire rpm range. If you don't have a sensor at the inlet how would you know?
Glad you brought this up. When the compressor side of the turbo creates pressure as we all know compressing that air creates heat. Now let's say Sam would get 2 psi at 350. Is that compressed air heated or just the ambient air temp.
If it is ambient temp and we wanted say 15 lbs. of final boost then it would seem to me that the turbo only has to compress the air to 13 lbs. and the other 2 would come from the boost from the speed. Is that right?
And if that is right is the 15 lbs. of boosted air the same temp as the temp rise for 13 lbs. of boost or 15??
I guess you can tell I didn't do well in thermodynamics,
