It was Adam and who knows maybe Brett now too LOL
Andrew, read all about "supercharging" and turbocharging" the QR25DE engine HERE
Google brings up many more discussions about it too.
Something to keep in mind that the max. power our engine type can go up to no matter what power mod you do to it is 250hp (which is not bad at all and am slowly getting there without turbocharging)

Re: Light Turbo Charging of X-Trail.....How???
Found this in either the Hot4's or Fast4's mag recently.
Force-Flow Electric Supercharger
It comes as either a single or twin unit but is mainly meant for full-throttle power boost.
It uses a small brushed dc motor turbine similar to modelling electric flight motors which give it a short life.
If the motor could be changed to a brushless motor and a speed controller linked into the throttle then it could be worth trying.

Re: Light Turbo Charging of X-Trail.....How???
Yes it does look gimmicky.
Working with model ducted fan aircraft as I have, I can say some of these things put out quite a bit of airflow.
The idea of trying to force this into an intake manifold would give a slight increase in pressure and hence a slight 'supercharging' effect.
The amount would obviously depend on the amount of NA airflow the engine already develops at full throttle.
Now that I have gained more knowledge from this forum on CAI, I think the claimed % increase may probably be more due to the CAI included in the kit.
