looks just a tad smaller than a ko3 turbo from stock vw gti's

 

thats fuc#king awsome@!@@@@!@!@#

It's just an R&D piece.

 

lol... talk about makin your life complicated... haha

 

didnt look at the picture, that setup is obviously not sequential...

 

numbers?..lol

 

someone found my pics i took last week LOL

Owen Developments out of the UK did that as a joke to show at Autosport in Europe

 

Looks like there's a crossover tube joining all 4 runners before the turbine inlets to feed the wastegate. If that's so, it'd completely defeat the purpose of multiple turbos which would be to isolate the exhaust pulses and avoid reversion to maximize efficiency.

 

thats sicck

 

thats bad @ss lol

 

How far is this from reality?

 

I notice that as well, the whole setup looks useless.
Those are not 9bs, something smaller than that, maybe the 7's from a later v6 GVR4?

 

Its just useless, there is no chance of it running sequentially since each is fed by just one cylinder, throwing the efficiency to the floor while adding unnecessary weight. The turbo works on momentum given by the exhaust pulses, so if there's just one cylinder feeding it, it will lose a lot of momentum while it waits for the next exhaust pulse to re-accelerate it. If there were only two turbos, the first fed by cyl. 1 and 2, and the other by 3 and 4, then it would be better. The concept is basically the same as twin scroll turbos. It's the same reason why twin scroll turbos spool up better than single scroll ones.

 

I designed something similar once, using four of the turbos off the old Honda CX 650 Turbo motorcycle.


And by designed, I mean I was drunk and sketched it on a bar napkin with a crayon


I would love to see one run, but I am pretty sure it would not be worth all the trouble to get it built and tuned

 

That looks pretty sick...
