I know this is a little off topic, but just reading about the other Supercharger thread in this forum, and some past thinking makes me wonder. Plus there are more BB users in here.
If I was in a world where all cars were naturally aspirated, I would roll over laughing at a man who said he could drive a compressor with exhaust gasses.
Though more credible, yet still highly doubtful would be the idea of running it off the crank pulley.
Why is it so difficult to just have a big battery, a HUGE alternator, and just run an electrically driven compressor, with a computer to control boost? Is that so hard? Compressor blades are very light, even at a modest 3-4 lbs of boost, gains would well be worth it...
And it can be a seperate electrical system altogether, and not even worry about draining the stock battery.
