So,

Was messin' about reading how turbos work, tryin to understand different housing sizes, compressor trim and stuff, came accross this

I now understand whats wrong, and laughed when i realised.

Guess many peeps here will spot the mistake immediately, but thought it was worth a look anyway.

 

whats that meant to be from?

 

Is it they will both have more lag than if it was just the one? i.e the small one isn't feeding the larger turbo?

 

only 2 cyl are feeding each turbo.

that is NOT how twin turbos work lol

 

That pic just looks stupid, doesn't make any sense.

Edit: ok I see the "funny" error, but it's still a pointless picture.

 

If the turbos were the same size it would be better lol.

 

Seemingly as air flow follows the path of least resistance, it'll all escape through the bigger turbo, causing the smaller one never to spool up. Completely useless.

Just thought it was a mad pic.

Think it was designed for a C20LET

 

You'd be suprised, it wouldn't work very well, but they would both spool.

It's a bad setup I agree.

It's nowhere near as complex as something i'm working on

 

i would say the smaller turbos outlet facing the manifold would also cause some issues lol

 

That is the only issue I could see too.

Also - i can't help but wonder how turbulent the air would be trying to turn 90 degrees as it enters each turbo!

AMS seem to do a better job of twin turbo setups

 

Wow what car is that engine in.I take it is something jap.

 

looks like an evo

 

That's a GT30 feeding a GT42R on an Evo 8

 

Will... is that a butterfly valve on the inlet pipework of the GT42?

 

Would the smaller turbo feed the larger one all the way through the rev range?

just seen this...
