Sure it would seem quite pointless at first, unless you were willing to build some sort of KERS.
I would like to build a hybrid system into something similar to Honda’s IMA system, whereas the motor works alongside the engine, and helps with engine braking as well as acceleration. That seems to me a long ways out though.

I figure with the turbo and the head work I could probably safely get to around 250whp without glaring risk of engine failure, which would be fun in a sub 2500lb car. Adding a hybrid system could potentially increase system output to ~275-280whp?
