Now thats just plain silly...

OK, yesterday I posted about turbo and the thread moved to being placed in parallel or sequentially....

Last night I had a really bizarre though and want to know if it's feasable, basically a question for the tech heads here to answer and everyone to laugh at, here goes....

You can place two turbo's sequentially (back to back) or in parallel (2 turbo's individually feeding 2 cylinders), if you can place them back to back or sequentially in theory what is stopping you doing both ?

In other words setting up a parallel system where each turbo is fed by two cylinders and then fitting another two turbo's sequentially on each, in other words a quad-turbo setup ???

Thought that sounded like a giggle....

Anyone mad enough to answer....

:D:D:D

could be a good idea may take some setting up but the turbo's could be quite small (only having to feed half the engine) so there would be almost no lag.

what does everyone else think?:D

Why not fit a fat ***** turbo to run all cylinders at top end and a small centrifugal super charger for low end?

The problem with splitting up cylinders and force feeding seperately is balance. You would need some well matched turbos and some fancy controll of them to keep efficiency. Not that they are that efficient.

And dumping the heat from 4 turbos in a midmount would be worth a luagh.

Still there is the quad turbo W12 from VW.

There's better way to blow that kind of money though. Setup would run into the realms of a far supaerior car from the box.
