does anybody know anything about those if anybody even sells them theyre supposedly the fastest spooling turbo with little to none shaft and bearing friction and theyre really expensive

 

i think the company stopped making them for cars and trucks and only makes them for jets or something, not positive. they were a variable vane turbo, which was sweet, because they needed no wastegate. They also sppoled crazy fast. When I was going to UB, they had a snowmobile with one on it, it was crazy. I believe the brand name was aerocharger?

EDIT: http://www.aerocharger.com/

 

oh youre talking about another miracle called vatn turbo which had 2 different turbine inlet sizes one is small for low rpm and the other is big for high rpm so you have fast spool up without having to deal with back pressure on the top end from having too small of an outlet

 

It doesnt have 2 inlets, it has an infinitely variable (between two bounds) housing that essentially changes size as boost increases. But it also has an extremely low friction bearing. They are also sweet becaust they need no lube or coolant lines! Thats killer.

 

no oil lines??

wow i wonder if it have a biult in lubrication system

 

They still make the turbos, by the way. There are actually 3 companies in the world that make them (IIRC). I'm still debating, but this could very well be the turbo that helps power my car in the future...

 

DOOOOOOOO IIIIIIITTTTT!!!!!!!!
no lube lines!!!!, no wastegate!!!!

 

And probably the price of a nice used car I'll make my decision sometime later this year...

 

Well now that I owe $1000 in taxes, I know for sure I will not be going boost anytime soon.

Can someone contact them about making an intercooled kit for our maximas?
