Ebooster for rotaries
Hi folks,
Recently I came across the Ebooster technology and I'm kind of amazed and impressed but also curious of the possibilities for the 13b
basically I'm wondering two scenarios:
a) use a Ebooster as a eletric supercharger (up to 7psi of boost), having a 48v battery on the trunk. Basically having a SC on demand, "madmax style"
b) build a proper dual charged engine with no lag and a joyful big turbo (more likely on a 13brew swap)
I know there is a lot to consider (specially $), fuel management et cetera, but I would like to hear some comments and ideias on how this new technologies could be used to improve our dear pistonless engines.

been discussed on here in various past threads i.e. search
but hate to burst your bubble, a rotary has a 1/3 higher airflow requirement than a piston engine coupled with firing every revolution than every other too, so generally a bust at the current technology level.

Anyway, hypothesis B is more interesting, because I believe there is no space for twin turbos on 13b rew RX8's, having the option to move a second turbo more independently would create some options.
By the way, BorgWarner is investing a lot on these solutions, of course world moved to electrification and the poor rotary should be only a range extender.
Thanks.

I believe Audi is spearheading electric turbos right now. If I were to travel down this path I would see what they are doing. Too bad electric turbo development is probably DOA with the advent of electric motor vehicles, so I doubt the aftermarket tech will ever trickle down into something easily usable by enthusiasts.

they are not, but I like to brainstorm, also, I'm not considering suitability right now, just applicability of a concept.

I totally agree on the first part, but again, on a 13b rew this create a opportunity to use twincharges and place them away from each other. The torque curve BorgWarner achieved on that Mustang (video) is impressive. However, this is a solution that requires deep pockets.
