Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines

[QUOTE="bluechipx, post: 6391164, member: 161465"] [USER=447632]Baluncore[/USER] , your question about 'why run a turbo when you could run a blower' is a strong indication that you haven't quite had the 'eureka' moment yet about turbocharging two strokes. A blower would do exactly what everyone thinks pressure charging would do, simply blow through the open exhaust port with no pressure gain. I suppose a blower would work if it were coupled with a valve after the exhaust port to hold back the charge and actually create a pressurized cylinder. But why go through the trouble when a turbo does it naturally? I would think on a four stroke that any exhaust pressure created by a turbo would be detrimental, but on a two stoke it is absolutely needed. As far as preignition, the outboard I turbo'ed could safely run 15 lbs of boost on 100 av gas, at 17 lbs or more it would experience detonation. Luth, what motor are you planning to turbo charge? There are turbos available that are self oiling for two strokes. Pretty simple to do. Matching the right size turbo to your engine might require a little research. The snowmobile I have that has seen 35 lbs of boost had turnbuckles instead of springs on the expansion chamber at both ends to deal with the high chamber pressure. If you get a reasonably close match as far as turbo size and use a draw through carb system, I would think your first trial will produce way more hp than n/a, mine was doubled the first time I started it on the Stuska dyno.
