I'm definitely missing something here. I was thinking that turbo compounding was using two or more turbos to forces more air in the engine. Thought the F-1 cars did this in the 80's. John Beckett --

John; Turbo compounding in this case means having a turbine in the exhaust system that is geared to the crank shaft. The exhaust pressure is used to develop force to the crankshaft instead of driving

Ok, when I went to school this was called a blow down turbine. We had several to play with. The concept was the turbine shaft was connected to the crankshaft and the turbine was fed from the exhaust

I thought the F1 cars just used dual turbos, both fed directly into the intake manifold. Compounding is one turbo feeding into the second, so that the second on is already picking up significantly bo

Actually I believe the F-1 cars had a turbo, or two, blowing into a supercharger which fed the engine. Made about 10 HP per cid. Don't think your typical SB Chevy could handle 3,500 HP. John Beckett

The IC engine still drives the rear wheels (or whatever else you want to drive), the turbine is there to use some of the energy in the exhaust gases that would otherwise be wasted. The turbine is co
