Guest HBZ81 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 3 turbos? talk about overkill! why have 3 when you can just use 1 big one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2126 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 3 turbos? talk about overkill! why have 3 when you can just use 1 big one... It has to do with spool-up time! The larger the turbo, the longer it takes to spool-up (more rotating mass). Also, maybe I'm just getting old and feable, but I only see two turbo units in the pic. Is the third one burried or nonexistsant? OK, I'm guessing the two visable units feed a third unit near the stock location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two turbos can take longer to spool than one because each one has half the exhaust flow. You would need twins with 1/4 the inertia of the single to spool in the same time. Yeah, I didn't think I was the only one who only saw two turbos under the hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I didn't think I was the only one who only saw two turbos under the hood. I don't think you understood my responce. I was not speaking of the system on the supera, but about the spool-up time difference between a single large turbo vs a single small turbo unit. In this case I believe I am correct and my responce is very true!! Anyone wish to add to this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HBZ81 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 if you harness the exhaust gases correctly, it will spool a large single turbo faster then 2 or even 3 turbos. it all really depends on the setup. You could use 2 turbos parallel, each using 1/2 of the exhaust, but they can take longer to spool if they are too large and if they're too small they will "weez out" at higher rpms. You can use 2 turbos in series, one small to spool the larger, you can get a fast spool. But if you route both sides of the exhaust into a collector to spool one large turbo which will spool the same, if not faster, then 2 or 3 turbos with a better high end. it's all relative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaparral2f Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Looks like overkill to me. Maybe he should have the mustang guy do his heads;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperKid Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Three turbos? Pfft... that's child's play. Try 8 Turbos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savageskaterkid Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Seen that b4, one for each cylinder, they did it on a few Tri-5 Chevys, i saw it in Super Chevy like last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
