Flashjet is founded in 2014 by Arjan Hekman( Owner KTR Trading BV )
and Rene van der Panne (Cooiman Transport and Fruit Trading )
With many years’ experience of both founders in the Truck and transport sector and power test of Truck engines they saw the need off a system to reduce Turbo Lag On Truck Diesel powered engines and other engines with turbo's. After testing several methods they developed a system that is very easy to install on existing and new engines .
In General the system works as follows: while the throttle is pushed to the maximum, for a short time (0,7 sec ) there is a much higher flow generated to the Turbine wheel(Flashexpansion ) of the Turbo. This effect gives a higher pressure on the compressor side , the higher flow is created with our own developed patented system .
The result is a much higher torque at lower RPM, less carbon particles and the highest engine output is reached in less than half the time than with a normal turbo.
The system was tested for more than 2 years and 200.000 km and is experienced as very reliable and high drive comfort less gear changes are necessary ,special with driving uphill the system gives much faster uphill speed because the lost off speed after change to a lower gear is much less than working with a traditional turbo .Now we have a final test on the World most toughest rally Paris Dakar with the Ginaf Trucks.
1 No Turbo Lag
2 Much higher Torque
3 Lower fuel consumption
4 Less Carbon particle
5 Double Turbo pressure with 1.000 RPM
In the below showed Graphics you can see the difference on the output of the Turbo pressure in KW
With 1.000 RPM Double turbo pressure.

The green line in the diagram shows how long it takes to build up full horse power with the Flashjet On.
Resistance at rear wheels.
System off, after 9 seconds on full power.
From full throttle at 864 Tpm.
Clocked at 1051 after 9 seconds at 212,85 full power.

Paris Dakar is the longest and hardest race for trucks and other vehicles on earth , for these truck teams the turbo response is vital for a good performance in the race , After introducing our system to the team of Ginaf ( Wuf van Ginkel ) and Smink and several test drives they did see such a large benefit with the system that they ask to mount it on their trucks for the 2015 Paris Dakar
