OK, I knew from the start that this would not be a practical setup. I posted this picture to gain more information on the shop/setup. I have no idea where this picture came from and I don't want any more speculation on it, I want hard facts. Thanks.

 

Bugatti Veyron: 4 turbos=1001 hp, insane torque.

 

damn awesome ****

 

cute

 

but the Veyron is like 4 evo engines mashed into a V formation. lol and four 4G63s make...:does math: 1144 hp (dont' ask at what rpm i dunno). lol 1T:4 still.

So anyone answer the man's question? Where's this engine from? =\

 

that looks insane i wonder what kind of numbers that motor puts down

 

:hey can i have one .....or four

 

possible application for twin turbo kit?
small enough turbo...

 

I recall years ago hearing a car enthusiast and chronic pathological liar go on and on telling me about how he was going to implement a custom quad t25 setup on his dsm. I listened to the guy and nodded along while thinking about all the problems he'd have with his imagined setup and considering the most difficult parts of actually fabricating his idea the 'right' way. He turned out to be an idiot who obviously never followed through with his halfassed idea, but it's good to see that somebody followed through with a similar effort. I think it's a great showcase for their fabrication skills, but beyond that, not of too much practical use.

Jmartinez, thanks for that longwinded post with absolutely no redeemable technical insight or information of any value. You're a real asset to our understanding! You think that dv/dt's dual setup sucked because they blew out a exedy clutch? I can't even begin to speculate about how you might relate their drivetrain part failure to a flaw in the turbo setup they designed and implemented. But, I'm sure you could do a lot better right? Living in Chicago, you should know better to run your mouth when there are plenty of local guys who will shut you down in a heartbeat, including the shop that you're attempting to ridicule.

If I remember correctly, it was cosmo's car that they put that setup on, and he stated himself that it was done pretty much just as a fun project to play around with, not a serious 'let's take this to market and make money off it' approach.

 

Un-fu*king-believable.

I seem to recall that the mutiple turbo (per cylinder bank) setup's are attempts to reduce the lag caused by a large turbine (on large turbos) while spinning up. So while you _might_ make less power, you stand a much better chance of getting your power earlier and thus broadening your powerband. As far as I am aware, there's no reason why a single turbo should make more power than multiple turbos. Surely it's just a matter of flow and pressure development. If you have two turbos in parallel developing 20psi each flowing 1000cfm then that should be the same as one turbo at 20psi flowing 2000cfm(?). I'm ignoring a number of things (such as plumbing and dynamic effects) but I think that's pretty much the crux of it.

For V12 or even V16 engines, I guess the 4 turbo setup is probably advantageous cos it simplifies your exhaust manifold design....

I think it can only be a good thing jmartinez1170. You can use the time to learn to use punctuations. [monotone voice]You seem to type like Kimi Raikkonen talks yes. Is it intentional i don't know... [/monotone voice]

 

People, it isn't even a whole motor... it's a head on a stand...

Chances that we ever see this actually functioning... probably 0

 

^ i was wondering if any1 was going to mention that

 

Judging from the surroundings, it appears to be a shot from some convention, probably SEMA. If you add 1 to the image number, you'll see his next shot and so on.

There doesn't appear to be any shots before the quad turbo shot though.

 

What difference does the bottom end make?

If you had to drag that iron block in and out of the building, you'd probably come to the same realization. (coming from someone who's a vendor at motorcycle conventions )

 

neat
