Variable Area Turbine Nozzle

Gauge · 09-18-2011, 11:17 PM

Have any of you looked into this at all? Done this on any car you've owned, or known anyone that has?

Seems pretty slick. I read about this in a book I'm reading. The book suggests that reliability was poor when first invented but they are very reliable now. Doesn't one of the porches car use these?

Anyways found this company while browsing and finding information.

AEROCHARGER | Technology

not sure how much I trust oil mist. Although I have to admit placement of the internal oil reservoir is clever.

Thoughts on these types of turbines? And thoughts on it working on a 370Z?

EDIT: I'll add that most of their applications are military diesel engines, bikes, and other such vehicles. But they have done it on cars apparently (only a few times), maybe not enough interest?
