Direct exhaust injection

[Byard]

Ok. I didn't want to mention it but I was thinking about turbo charging my car. I got to thinking about it and how in efficient even turbos are (compressor efficiencies of about 80% at best).

Since a turbo's function is to pressurize incoming air and force it into the upper motor, and turbos are driven by high pressure exhaust gas created from the combustion process, couldn't I just bypass the turbo altogether and route my headers back into the throttle bodies?

Since I have CFI, I could balance the DEI (direct exhaust injection as I just coined it) by feeding one header into each throttle body. Yes, the charge air wouldn’t be that cold, but it would be under a hell of a lot more pressure.

I attached a quick sketch below:



There are still a few things I need to work out:
1) How do I get the CFI aircleaner to fit in a way that hides this plumbing?
2) Does anyone make a V-band clamp that will bolt an exhaust header to a CFI throttle body?
3) What pinion angle should I use in my rear-end? I’m sure there will be a noticeable difference in torque output.

What do you guys think?

I think you've spent too long on reproducing this poor attempt at humour which is as old as the internet itself.

Random question, Do you live on a farm?

You could always call it EGR, exhaust gas recirculation, and have a crappy valve that blocks up on a regular basis.

Now that is funny

How about plumbing the exhaust headers directly into the air vents in your car? That way when you start up on a cold morning, you wont have to wait as long for the hot air?

That's unsubtle.

A sealed small room with one allegedly-humanoid inhabitant is good for a start - wait for the banging and scratching at the (sealed) door to stop, then allow ten minutes - and the process will be complete .

Am alternative would be a sealed room with the air being pumped out. They don't feel a thing if depressurization is rapid. So I am told .
