We found this 2017 Corvette Grand Sport in the Race Winning Brands booth at SEMA, and it sports the company's 76mm E-Turbo. With an electric motor grafted onto the compressor, the 800-volt, 100-amp system can supplement the turbine at any point, making turbo lag a thing of the past. When not under load, the system can also regenerate energy via the rotation of the turbocharger.

So I stumbled into Race Winning Brands booth. That's the guys that make
dark blocks, JE pistons, boost line rods, and they have this pretty slick C7 Corvette.
And it might be electric powered, but not in the way you think. They're using F1 technology
on the turbo. Let's go talk to one of these guys to figure this thing out.
This is a 2017 Corvette Grand Sport LT1. We did a forged crank, boost line rods,
bicycle pistons, port and direct injection, pack springs, all of our products in it.
Really what it is, is a single turbo kit with a E motor on the front of the compressor.
So what that allows us to do is go from 0 to 130,000 RPM in 150 milliseconds.
So you can have 0 to all the boost. It basically removes all of your turbo.
So we can control how much torque we apply, when we do it, at any point in the racetrack.
And it's really meant to kind of show the art of the possible of what is,
you know, with the latest technology, the F1 and F2 lines we're doing.
So this is what we wanted to bring and show off.
Man, that is pretty cool. So it's, you're talking about instant boost.
Yes, this is right out of the corner.
Yeah, too much power.
Yeah, well, don't say that. There's no such thing.
But we're talking, you can put a huge turbo on there.
Yes.
Get all the upper RPM flow.
Yeah, at very low RPM.
But you can get that tiny turbo, like zero lag, kind of a situation or even better.
Yeah, I mean, we can run full boost with the engine off.
So imagine that. So it runs an 800 volt system at 100 amps.
I mean, this is a very high voltage system found on like EVs.
And, you know, it has a 10 kilowatt battery system.
Right.
This is self-sufficient.
Additionally, it has regenerative mode.
So if you're just cruising on the highway, it is regenerated.
It's like recycling some of that electricity back.
Exactly. So it'll self-charge, not at the same rate it discharges, but is,
you know, it's meant to be, hey, I want to do a track event.
Man, that's awesome.
Nick, race winning brands. Appreciate you guys.
Can't wait to see this thing get further in development.
Yeah, we'll take it out and rip soon.
Thanks, man.
