Found this perusing through the internetz this morning. Totally enamored even though trucks and 4wd are not my thing

cool, but if that was a RC car even better. :D

 

Wonder if mpg matters on this one :-) Looks awesome!

 

Lol does <4 count as mpg's?

 

That is actually a compound turbo setup, not twins.


Small turbo gets the exhaust from both banks of cylinders first. Then the discharge from that turbo goes into the big guy.


Which is exactly the same setup I am designing for my Fit, but with much smaller compressors obviously.

The big turbo here looks like a GT55, which is one or two equivalent Holset wheel sizes up from the 71mm HX52 on my race car for comparison. Probably a T6 footprint turbine as well.

That looks like a ton of fun. Wish I had that sort of budget.

 

which is why i posted it. i actually found out about compound setups from a post you made on here not too long ago. ever since then, i thought it is the coolest thing lol

Is that for sure what you are going for? I know you were toying with other setups. Twin-charge even?

 

I already have the turbos (MHI 14b and 60mm Garret T4 P-trim) meth kit, intercooler, piping, sensors, fuel pumps, regulator, injectors, wastegate, and blow off valve. All that remains really is just the EMS, SMIM, battery relocation and the exhaust fab.

But none of that can be installed until after I finish the race car. Which is coming along quicker than expected.

The twin charge setup would be easy enough, and could actually be done in bolt on form, with the exception of the EMS and fuel system required to tune it. Anyone could go twincharged today if they wanted to with relatively little hassle..

 

I've never heard of it being called that before, but it was easy understand anyway.

I've always known it as "sequential turbos" or "sequential twin turbos," but yes, I do like your setup there.

 

Sequential and compound are quite different.
