Project Farm asks: Do electric turbos actually help improve horsepower and torque?
This scientific assessment uses a 900 CFM fan motor used as a turbo on an old RV called the Farmabago.
Before the turbo is tested, a stuck exhaust valve and broken pushrod was repaired. Also, damaged mufflers were removed and replaced with straight pipes and 12-inch exhaust ends added. After all the upgrades, the Farmabago makes two timed runs to determine if the electric turbo delivered more torque and horsepower…
