Status: offline 		well you would also need an intercooler or the motor would get very hot. If the motor is a two stroke the turbo wont really help maybe jsut in the mid to top end a little becuase the air that is being compresed will just pass right though the motor at the botom of the stroke where the compression would begin in a 4 stroke.

I think you should pass on this idea its to costly and confusing and probebly wont work so good. It would be cool to see though.

Status: offline 		forced induction on a 2-stroke engine isn't worth it. You could flow more air into the engine, e.g., why some people claim the RB 'supercharger' works. But i'm sure you could shape & polish the intake and get it to suck enough air instead of adding weight and trying to feed the engine. However, a mini-trubo'd 4-stoke would be sick. Problem would be having a turbine machined that's precisely balanced as well as the custom turbine/compressor housing. Plumbing would be the easy part.

A lil RC car that whistles and toots would be slick as hell.
