<VV> TURBO CHARGING

[Western Canada CORSA]

Although not very active, there IS a Corvair turbocharging email list, check
in yahoogroups.

Wasn't the VNT used on the CryMoCo 2.2Ls a vacuum controlled unit?

I wonder if someone has written an add on to Megasquirt that could control a
VNT?  Even if that's the only function you used it still might be the
cheapest way to accomplish that goal.

Personally, I want to mount my turbo down under the motor<g>  One project at
a time though.

Regards,
Joel

Using a variable vane turbo is a great idea. They are available. Discussed a

while back on fastvairs. Probably in archives somewhere. I believe the VNT 
was discussed in articles on internet as well. I would think the idea of 
mechanical linking the turbo to a TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) would be 
feasible.

Or ......."Uh, yeah.. Don't try anything new... make sure we stay in 1955 
technology... Better not try new oils..maybe we can find some straight 30 
weight ..."
