[QUOTE="SecondhandSnake, post: 16617267, member: 116684"] I think it already exists. They toyed with basically the same concept in F1, I think Mercedes has experimented with it further, as well as a few other European brands. And there's an aftermarket kit they're selling for FT-86s with it, but it's pretty limited. I wonder which would be more feasible, a variable drive or variable geometry the same way they use it on turbochargers. A CVT should be able to easily handle the torque, it would just be a packaging issue. Personally my next big step I'm going to toy with is adding a bypass to my SC/TT setup. Hog out the current boost bypass to use a giant oval throttle body, use an actuator to open it over a certain boost point, and use an electric pulley clutch to disengage the rotors. With the Megasquirt it could be tuned and controlled when and where I want. Might be clunky when it switches modes, but won't require much in the way of parts and packaging. Get all the torque of a small pulley Eaton down low, then the efficiency of twins up top. [/QUOTE]
