quadruple twin turbo build

Decided to get my car back up and running this year, I haven't driven the car in about 2yrs. I have just been too busy at work and traveling overseas to work on customers cars. Here is what i'm plan to build, check out the pics.

+1


turbo technology has come a long way in recent years. a nice ball bearing single mid frame turbo is plenty and has a nice wide powerband.

I mean, Bugatti's have been doing it for a while now. With great success, apparently.

But the Bugatti is a HUGE motor that can actually take advantage of the setup.

Yeah, I always forget that beast is 8 liters. Hmm.....this could either be epic, or a s*** show. There won't be a grey area.

This is for seriousness? I'll hold off on the mocking until the OP gives some details.

how many people have a supercharger and a turbo? yet that makes much more sense than this.

You guys have know ideal who I am, I've been building rotaries for 15yrs. I know all the in's and out of these cars. The first kit I'm doing will be nonseq, if boost is not like I want it then I will build one seq.

with the size of the turbos itll probably be a lot of low end power and will rape in short distances

technically each turbo is only seeing half the exhaust volume from each rotor, the FD twins each saw a split in total volume from the engine once both turbos came online. at low RPMs only one of those turbos saw FULL engine exhaust volume until nearly 4k RPMs.

it will be more responsive than a massive single but hardly a low end "monster". unless some sort of very sophisticated sequential system is worked in, but again, why?

if you managed to incorporate ball bearings into those HT15's then they might be somewhat responsive with that setup, nudging it in some ways ahead of a large single. but having a peak range of 800whp those things aren't going to spool even remotely like non sequential twins, dyno queen comes to mind with a narrow powerband.

even a sequential system with these quads will result in a very laggy engine below 4k RPMs generating almost no boost.
