Just out of intrest, whats the biggest single turbo you can fit on a 13b engine??
Obviously with all the other mods aswell,... i dont mean the biggest you can get away with on a standard setup thats going to go single turbo....just the bigggest that is available

Just curious,

Dan!!

A Kit has just been supplied to a car over here that is Soooo big it\'s manifold has been made to push the Turbo  [ big GT42 hybrid]  forward and around the front of the Engine and the Wastegate is the size of like a moped Engine!!!

It will debut at RotorStock.

Dan,

How long is a piece of string?  

How big is your budget?

Turbo\'s go much much bigger than what would actually work on a 13B engine (i.e. truck/train etc.).

GT42 is a diesel truck based turbo - but can be set-up for rotary or piston engine application.

It really comes down to porting, engine etc.  if the engine block itself isn\'t set-up properly (dowelled) running the correct seals then it is all pointless.  Let alone all the ancillaries.

Some would argue and say that a twin turbo based system (not sequential) is actually more efficient than a single.  And in the case of a 3rotor 3 individual turbos could be used.


In Oz TA45, large hybrid T04\'s, T51\'s etc. are quite popular.  Turbonetics do a very nice range of turbos also.

Thanks clive, who\'s car is that goin onto?...or is it secret?...or is it ross\'s

Glen...haha, sorry mate, i dont have funds to go crazy like that.

Is that for real 3 turbos for 3 rotors???

Has that been done before?


Cheers lads,

Dan!!

3 rotors is for real, I have seen pictures of one done and it looks totally mental. Never heard of it running though, or how it performed.
