Triple Turbo's?
Would it be economically feasible (im pretty sure its physically possible) to get a Triple Turbo system for a 3rd gen Rx-7?

Seen the triple turbo 3 rotor....that is a plumbing nightmare...hoses and pipes running everywhere. I don't think you would want a triple turbo even though it is possible

it would be impossible to have a tri-turbo setup on a 2-rotor 13B. now it is possible on a 3-rotor 20B, or 6-rotor (40B?)...

I think Racing Beat ran a tri-turbo setup in an FD on the Bonniville Salts flats it was in one of there catalogs for products. The tri-turbo setup wasnt forsale it just mentioned the car and its top speed.

I believe it was 247 mph or something like that, for an average of 242 mph.

yeah the dont need wings to fly, but the car that went airboene was not the 242mph car, it was the previous years white car. i think the white car went airborne at 215mph or so. the next year they came 'back in black' with the 242 mph black car (AND much more downforce)

I don't see how that is accurate.
