This is the blurb on the quad turbo on their site

That thing is pretty crazy.

 

The definition of manifold is very broad and you shouldn't limit it to intake and exhaust manifolds. For example, some very good people refer to water passages in blocks and heads as coolant manifolds.

 

Did you just call me a tool? Thanks. I was just trying to keep the thread on topic, which I did. So maybe instead of making useless posts, try and read a grammar book before people start calling you an idiot.

Back on topic. Thanks for the guys who looked a little deeper into the picture, maybe we can get to the bottom of this.

 

Wow, I would love to do that... for FUN, and in order to do that for FUN, I would need FUN money, which I dont have But I will definitely keep this one in mind for when my wife becomes a doctor, and subsequently my sugar momma

 

I was going to post the link to the Owen Developments website, but was obviously beated to it.

This is a kit that Owen Developments IS planning on possibly offering. Our UK sales director spoke with them in depth about the project while at the Autosport show (UK equivalent to SEMA) last month.

Assuming all goes as planned, they will have more information about the kit soon.

Also check out what they're doing with turbo speed sensors:

Cool Stuff!

 

mmmm....best not to bring up grammar in the same sentence in which you have butchered it.

Hey guys, really good job on tracking down where this pic came from. That's pretty impressive that someone tracked that down so fast and got the lowdown on what the heck was going on with this.

ummmm....unsubscribed.

 

Now that is something really useful , reasons not limited to just those listed on their site.

 

Basically a special hall-effect sensor for a turbo. (Insulated and pulsed, like a metal detector.) Still cool though.

 

i saw some one state that 2 1000 cfm turbos would generate 2000 cfm. that statement is not correct. if you sit down and do the math ( not just basic 1+1=2 ) you would see that it does not work that way. in fact if you had 2 1000 cfm turbos doing the same amount of work at 20 psi you would only have about 1500 cfm available to you. the equasion is not lenier due to the resitance you are going to encounter. the same is true in pipe line cfm, two 1/2" pipes are not going to supply as much as one 1" will, infact the two 1/2" will be closer to one 3/4".

 

this setup would be unbeatable, up until Chuck Norris decides to roundhouse kick it back into a Honduh

 

Whoa, talk about no lag time...

 

UMMM..........

thats sick

 

That would be because you know more than I do with regards to engines. That's why I wrote "correct me if I'm wrong."

 

I think it was me!!
I still don't understand however. If we're talking about cfm - cubic foot per minute - then that's a volumetric flow rate. So if you have a box and one flow comes in at 1000 cfm and another at the same then the total flow into the box has to be 2000 cfm. And if the pressure inside the box is 20psi then it doesn't matter whether the 2000cfm is being supplied by any number of of sources. The flow coming out of your box has to equal, more or less, to the flow going in.
If we're talking about fpm - foot per minute - then I can understand about the pipe thing.
What I was saying in my post was that if you have two turbos flowing 1000cfm with a pressure diff between outlet (manifold) and inlet (~atmosphere) of say 20psi then that's about the same as a 2000cfm single turbo with the in/outlet pressure difference of 20psi. Okay there will be some losses from the piping from the outlet of the turbo and the manifold, but that's really a non-point cos 1)it will be pretty small 2)how long are these pipes anyway 3)they could be small turbos with big outlet... etc. - what I was suggesting was that there's no reason why one turbo should be better than any other number.
