how a turbo charger works. you have 2 snails, one's very exhausted, the other is a blowhard. They're conjoined twins so whichever way they turn, they turn together.

[@Resident-of-Pluto]

You can actually get much better efficiency when using impeller pumps (especially with the large one) on a smaller engine if you use a clutch to reduce the load the impeller places on the engine with a clutch. It also helps if your ECU can alter the amount of fuel the engine gets on the fly to regulate the Air-Fuel-Ratio (a must when using an impeller pump if you ask me) so that the RPS of the impeller and with it the amount of air the engine gets doesn't increase so fast that the engine begins to lean out when the RPS of the engine rises rapidly.

It should be noted that just adding a pump to the engine does not automatically make it more powerful and can actually cause the engine to not work at all because the afr may be too high. With all due respect to MrNJersey for what he has done to help others learn, That ecu is really outdated and overcomplicated. I have made several for my own builds that are more simple and work much better. So learning the process of getting the correct AFR is essential for anyone really looking into getting into modular engines.

[@billybill8227]

Just like in real life, when running boost on an engine it may struggle to keep the AFR up because it may be maxing out the fuel injectors. The solution to this is to add a better fuel pump or more fuel intake manifolds, and this applies to stormworks as well. If anyone wants to use the larger impeller or pump, you don't exactly need a larger engine-it really just depends on the quality of the fuel delivery system. When running smaller turbos with smaller engines, you can benefit from having an ecu that is preloaded with a turbo tune, such that it increases the fuel manifold throttle proportionate to the boost that may be generated by rpm, or manifold pressure. The upsides for this system is that it allows large boost on small engines, and steady control of the power the engine generates; the small impeller on the V8 was inconsistent-something that this setup may fix.

First, before i start my "rant", i want to say that i really like your videos and especially your design constrains video. I fully agree on this topic with you.

[@StormTrail]

Doing Great! Growing fast keep up the good work!

[@Zorro9129]

This makes me want to experiment with a V12 engine and try to make the fastest possible supercar. There are some very impressive cars on the workshop but I don't know how many make full use of superchargers.

[@levimccallum7722]

my two braincells just realized that it's technically possible to turbocharge a steam engine...

NICE bro i did a LOT of tests too HAHA heres some observations ! When boosting the engine, gotta change the AIR FUEL ratio ! never found 100% efficiency again while boosting but i found way more power out of large pump changing AFR !!

[@Valixo889]

I havent played stormworks for a while but couldnt you get the flow rate of exhaust and use formulas to control a impeller pump to create similar power to a turbo?

[@fairlyoddme3021]

Since the way fluids and gases have changed... Could you redo this test? I'm curious to see if any change

[@thegdog368]

so anyone know of a good ecu to use? all the ones i keep trying dont wanna work well. some will let the engine run, some wont even idle.

[@Steinersgarage]

what about the "coolant" pump for the engine as a spuercharger? it it the same as a small impeller pump i wonder

[@arpioisme]

What about modular engine fluid pump? The one attached to the end of crankshaft

[@2dquix]

i always use the large fluid pump on my engines(not custom just the default medium engine) so it it technically turbocharged?

[@technicaldeath6539]

Love your Tahoe!

[@super_loaf2]

i have learned something new.

[@ZhiLawd]

They could also have the delta of out to in pressure (pump reversed) produce rps

[@fcdrummer1806]

i typically see the bigger pumps work better on the larger engines like the 3x3 cylinder engines.
