Re: Turbo Setups? (POLL: Which is best?)
what about on V engine having two sequential turbo setups, you would have the turbos close to the exhaust ports and would have the advantages of a sequential turbo setup.
am i correct?

Re: Turbo Setups? (POLL: Which is best?)
Chrysler is ahead of all other 'american' companies becouse they use might as well be Mitubishi. Sorry for that but my wife has a sebring aka 'HEAVY eclips RS' or as i like to say POS.
But anyway my personal favorot turbo setup will be twin compersor single turbo, when or if garret comes out with it. Basicaly spooling up just as fast as a small turbo but will be able to push alot more. Basicaly being able to push 18psi with a 2L I4 like it was only 10psi. YET TO BE SEEN.

Re: Turbo Setups? (POLL: Which is best?)
Sequential setups add weight and is far more complex than a normal setup, that's why we don't see them as much.
Usually two turbochargers are used on a V configuration engine, one for each cylinder bank, like on this Honda V6 F1 engine:  This engine has short exhaust pipes and later also used a variable geometry turbine. |

Ball-bearing turbos really took the edge off of sequential setups. The cost and complexity were hard to outweigh. See FD3S RX-7.
As far as future technologies go, I'm still waiting for the Dynacharger. I'm expecting to see them on WRC cars any day now.

Re: Turbo Setups? (POLL: Which is best?)
 WTF?? Sequential twin turbo setups are absolute rubbish, rubbish i tells ya.  while they sound good on paper... promising very little lag and big power they just dont work like that. true twin turbo lowers the threshold (the rev point boost comes on) because you can use smaller turbos because they are each only pushing compressed air for only half the cylinders/rotors (in a 6 cylinder one turbo is boosting 3 cylinders and the other turbo the other three cylinders etc). in a true twin turbo setup... say a turbo is rated to flow 350hp.... then in theory together they can flow 700hp with very good boost response.. theoretically... so yeah thats my two cents.. ..

Re: Turbo Setups? (POLL: Which is best?)
ummm.... isn't this a 2 year old thread?
and to answer your question, they are more complex because you need cutoffs and stuff to differe exhaust and intake from one to another so that one turbo doesn't create a restriction or get damaged from overspooling.

Re: Turbo Setups? (POLL: Which is best?)
Actually, this thread is four years old. It's been resurrected twice. Lucky us.
