More turbos

[Archive]

Has anyone given any thought to splitting the exhaust in half and installing a 9cm/2-hx35 for each half? Iam not an engineer or mechanic, but I would think this would be similar to an Hx70-18cm2. Imay have found a use for the Banks twin ram manifold, cut the rams in half and feed each one with a turbo. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated, as I am giving this some serious study. I just don't know enough about the dynamics of turbocharging to decide if I should proceed.

If the boost air is all going thru the same inner cooler wouldn't a bigger tubro be just as good as two small ones?Just a thought.

I am actually considering two intercoolers, with a stagger mount to allow hose connection. Then going to dual 3" exhaust, which I believe should breathe adequately enough to keep EGT's in check. I guess I'm asking if there would be enough of an airflow gain to warrant such an approach?

I have always read that the more cylinders feeding a turbo, the quicker it can spool up.
A six can spool a turbo quicker than a triple. That said, SEQUENTIAL turbos, with a little one spooling up quick, then a gate opening up to allow a larger one to come online would probably be the best system from a throttle response/hp output standpoint, barring cost, complexity, space etc.

Under the intake manifold all cylinders are fed by the same air mass... .
Did I say that right??
