This seems like it wouldn't be worth it at all.

no offense meant but the ads rotate and that was completely out of left field, and confusing...

the majority of this thread needs to do some serious tarbo learnings. it'd be a great SEMA setup that doesn't have to actually work. hahaha. |

actually... it would be like running 2 turbo 750cc motorcycle engines attached at the crank and as far as the separate turbos for half the engine, I believe they have been doing that with v8s and v10s for a while now...

they may have two throttle bodies but the Intake Manifolds are connected (in the event they have one per bank (intake manifolds/throttle bodies). how would it be like two 750cc motorcycle engines? i'd love to hear your reasoning for that example. |

you're not going to win this argument b/c it's pointless. a twin turbo setup with 1 intake manifold is surely possible but there is no point to run one turbo off two cylinders into 2 cylinders, then have another turbo running off the other two going into the other two...... :lol: how did you plan on intercooling this setup? wait, let me guess, dual intercoolers too? are you going to run two fuel pumps too? one for each "motorcycle engine"? come on now. do a twin turbo setup, run one turbo off two and the other off the other two, then go into 1 intercooler, then into ONE INTAKE MANIFOLD. look at that, you've got an over weight turbo setup that makes less power and is less drivable then a properly chosen setup single turbo. if you're looking for better spool invest in a twin scroll turbo that is properly sized for the engine. save you a few clicks, http://tinyurl.com/corza8 thoughts? open for discussion. |

So thanks for your opinion, but in the future keep in mind the spirit of the thread, and keep the trolling to yourself. kthxbai
