Ever seen a turbo setup like this?

[AaronsSupraMKIII]

Just wondering if anyone has seen a setup like this? Is the smaller turbo for quicker spooling? Anything like this ever been tried on a Supra? Does this go to a t-4 manifold? Just curious...

It's compound turbocharging.

 

[DaemoN]

Exponential increase in air density.

Think of it as stuffing a 1/4 pounder into a junior burger so you can feed it to a toddler so he can bench press 400 lbs

 

[thechori]

i would like to see one in action. even more so on a supra engine :0

Compound set ups are great for High Boost (50 psi upwards) applications not really feasible for our motors.

They're used a lot on Diesel tractor puller type motors.

Can you take a smaller turbo a fit it into a bigger turbo for a faster spool?

LMAO that is about the funniest thing I have seen on here! :biglaugh:
Deffinetly quote worthy!

Those turbos are form a 4.5 diesel LCF. Those little things boost great. You have 10psi by 1200rpms on that motor. The funny thing is in the 3rd picture down you see the oil feed line and a blue sticker. That sticker says: don not use this as an engine lift

 

[souprat]

some tractor pullers have setups like that that get em 200psi in the manifold.

 

[Wills7MGTE]

With ARP it should work, all ya need then for 50PSI outtab eohhhh IDK maybe 2,000cc injectors and maybe some 1200cc secondaries and god himself should put the engine back together just to be safe.

Can you imagine a Supra running 200PSI? lol

200psi isn't what's important. Flow is what's important.

air flow = power
pressure = resistance against flow

Weird, I remember him making a thread on this very topic some two weeks ago...same pictures and all.

Those setups are made for the Dodge Cummins trucks as well..Guy in my town had one..with a 5" stack comming out of the hood..
Diesel engines are about the only thing that can handle that shit.. The 5.9 cummins crankshaft weights around 125lbs IIRC.

stupid question but what is "IIRC" i always see it and can't figure it out.

Means If I Recall Correctly

 

[marc3]

actually, i've only seen this on tractors that do drag pulls.
some even have 3 turbos staged in this manner , they can have manifold pressures of 240psi ansd up!!

Actually the other thread was about a variable vein turbo. Might have thrown a pic of this one in that thread though, dont remember.

QFT. Anyone that doesn't realize this, needs to learn so
