Did a windscreen on one of these today;



Then noticed what I thought was a considerably sized turbo;



But I couldn't find another one in there... Which I thought was a bit odd for a V8 lump - thought the Arnage T's were twin turbo?

 

i think there single turbo if it is basicly a rs500 t4 with bigger rear a/r so ive heard

 

newer ones use twin T3's i believe, the older ones ( mulsanne turbo ) used a single T4 ( or variant of it )

 

Bentleys run a single T4 with external gate.

IIRC compared to a RS500 T4, they have a slightly smaller flowing comp side, and a bigger ex side (well, its a full T4, rather than the RS500 which has a large T3 exhaust side).

Not much for such a big engine, but remember they dont rev, arnt huge power, and have to have huge instant responce, they quick whafters not sports cars.

 

as above, used to but the one in the pic is defo an old one

 

I couldn't get a decent pic of the exhaust housing as the heat shield covers most of it....

I thought it looked T4-ish in size, which is why I was surprised it only had one, seeing as it's nearly 7litres in a V8 lump... Seems a bit asmatic to only have one turbo for such a large lump...

but yeah, it don't rev at all... Took it out the workshop and parked it round the back - we have nice little straight (only short, but you can nail it for a second or two to feel throttle resonse ) and it did fuck all My van picks up better than that barge lol...

 

bit laggy then? lol

 

laggy...not at all....t4 on a 2litre is laggy...but on a 6.75litre...
