That being said, I do not really belong here for this Q.

I'd like some good info on sizing turbos and twins to a
given displacement piston engine. I can read a compressor map
somewhat and need more education


I'd also like some tips on sizing for these 3 things:

1. Minimum or NO lag
2. Maximum flexibility, as in best overall sizing
3. max HP setups, but this will be self explanantory if I get the first two.


Thanks guys,


RGR

Just order a Magic Turbo from ebay.... (Joke) "Turbos by Garrett" (there is a link on Precisions site) will give you all the maps/ARs/recomended displacement ranges for their turbos.

The things you want would entirely depend on the displacement of the Engine. Amoung other things.

Ok your asking us to teach you how to properly build a turbocharged system.

Thats why they make books.

Pick up maximum boost by corky bell, it has ALL of the answers for that question. Runs about 50$ cndn.

It sounds like you are suffering from a severe case of supercarmagazine readitus. I recommend that you go to an internet forum that caters to your particular piston engine, and ask them how to make something called a "dyno queen".

You may want to pay particular attention to Lysholm (Whipple) supercharger kits. Your current criteria can't be met with a turbocharger. Well, they can't be met by anything in reality, but a Lysholm supercharger would be the closest match in real life. You would also probably want to dump that V6 for a V8, but you can cover that at the other forum.

Here are some links. The first link specializes in making a V6 mustang into a real car... somewhat.
