Electrifying Performance With New Eagle’s Turbocharger Solution

EVs may be dominating headlines, but internal combustion innovation is hardly a thing of the past. New Eagle has been applying its controls and integration expertise to find the best of both worlds, and with one of its latest performance solutions, it has.

The High-Performance Electric Turbocharger Kit is a breakthrough for boost technology: an electric turbocharger system that delivers instant power and smarter control to high-performance internal combustion engines.

Want to see this kit in action? Join us at SEMA 2025 on November 4–7 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Our C7 EV Corvette Grand Sport prototype (a collaboration with Xtrac and Helix) will be front and center in Central Hall, Booth #22955 in the Race & Performance area.

Inside Look: The High-Performance Electric Turbocharger Kit

Engineered as a high-performance solution for next-generation internal combustion engines, this turbocharger kit sets a new benchmark in forced induction technology. Its modular, development-ready design supports engine testing, validation, and scalable integration across multiple applications.

To be clear, this kit is not an EV. It’s an ICE powertrain enhanced with an electric turbocharger. Traditional forced induction benefits from electrification by allowing for instant boost, greater efficiency, and refined tunability.

Behind the Boost: Core Components and Collaborators

This project, at its core, focuses on developing an innovative electric turbocharger for high-performance and universal aftermarket applications. Our initial test platform is the C7 Corvette, an iconic (and ideal) testbed for validating electric boost technology. Powering everything is a Race Winning Brand’s engine, a proven foundation in high-performance internal combustion design, paired with a Haltech ECU that enables advanced control and data logging.

New Eagle’s expertise in system integration is the connective tissue between these components. Integrating them through precise motor control, power electronics, and software calibration ensures seamless communication across the entire powertrain.

Beyond performance validation, the project focuses on several key objectives:

• Design & Engineering: Develop an electric turbocharger system with multiple size options to accommodate a range of engine applications.
• Testing & Validation: Utilise the C7 Corvette platform to refine performance characteristics, optimise power delivery, and integrate with advanced engine management systems.
• Scalability & Fitment: Ensure compatibility across multiple vehicle platforms, allowing seamless adaptation to different engines and performance requirements.
• Commercial Viability: Evaluate production feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and market readiness to bring this next-generation forced induction system from prototype to production.

Electrified Boost Advantages: Performance Meets Efficiency

The benefits of electric assist in forced induction are both immediate and measurable. Integrating an electric motor directly into the turbocharger system makes boost delivery faster, more efficient, and infinitely tunable. It’s reshaping how performance is generated and controlled.

Instant Response

Traditional turbochargers rely on exhaust gases to spool up, creating the familiar lag that performance enthusiasts have long worked to overcome. With electric assist, that delay disappears. The motor-driven compressor delivers on-demand boost the moment it’s needed, resulting in sharper throttle response and consistent power across the entire RPM range.

Drivers experience the kind of immediate torque typically associated with EVs—without sacrificing the sound and feel of an internal combustion engine.

Improved Efficiency

Electrification allows for precise boost control based on engine demand. Instead of building unnecessary pressure, the system delivers only what’s required for optimal performance, reducing parasitic losses and improving thermal efficiency. This opens the door to engine downsizing without compromise: achieving high output from smaller, lighter packages while lowering fuel consumption and emissions.

Enhanced Tunability

With full integration to modern ECUs, the electric turbocharger enables programmable boost curves and refined calibration for specific applications—whether for the track, the street, or hybrid-assisted systems. New Eagle’s calibration expertise allows engineers and developers to shape performance characteristics with precision, supporting both performance gains and emissions compliance.

System Integration Intelligence

At the center of this innovation is New Eagle’s controls and integration know-how. Our engineering team ensures reliable, real-time communication between the turbocharger, ECU, and overall powertrain—maintaining reliability and consistency under all operating conditions. Through vehicle-level testing and iterative validation, New Eagle bridges the gap between conceptual design and real-world drivability.

Why It’s a Breakthrough for Performance Applications

For decades, forced induction technology has remained largely defined by mechanical systems. It’s ingenious, but ultimately it’s limited by physics. The integration of electric assist marks a turning point, bringing the instantaneous torque and precision of electrification into the realm of high-performance internal combustion engines.

This new generation of turbocharging unlocks fresh possibilities for tuners, motorsport teams, and manufacturers alike. It allows for unprecedented control over how power is delivered, enabling ICE platforms to compete in an era increasingly defined by hybrid and electric performance standards.

The result is a system that combines traditional engine character with the responsiveness and intelligence of modern electrified technology, i.e., performance without compromise.

Driving the Future of Performance

New Eagle’s High-Performance Electric Turbocharger Kit represents more than just an evolution in forced induction. We’re demonstrating how electrification can amplify, not replace, the internal combustion experience. By combining deep controls expertise with advanced system integration, New Eagle is helping define the next generation of performance engineering.
