can this turbo set up work?

[dnhieu]

im not trying to do this but i was wondering if this could work. maybe make turbo 1 smaller to help spool maybe a bigger turbo which could be turbo 2? just curious because it seemed to me like a good idea to use a smaller turbo to spool directly into a bigger turbo and maybe help it spool faster. oOo yeah sorry for the bad pic im not much of a drawer

thanks

i think its a pretty crazy idea i have no idea if it would work but i would like to know.

i was also thinking if you had 2 14b's lined up like this if it could be a possible to run them both and save yourself some money by not having to buy a bigger turbo?

thanks tuners

if installed the way you drew it, it'd run into the alternator, oil filter, fans, rad and subframe for sure.

oOo sorry. im not interested in running it at all. it was just a thought that poped into my head earlier today and i was wondering if it would work. i dont see why it wouldnt but im sure someone knows the real answer

thanks

What you described seems to be a sequential turbo setup, there have been many threads discussing this on here. I think RX7s might have had a sequential setup from the factory, but I could be wrong. But your idea is nothing new to say the least, good thinking tho.

That actually would slow down your spool more than just putting on a big turbo. The smaller turbo would just mess with the exhuast gases and make them barely flow through the larger turbo. This would create crazy amounts of lag. You would be better off doing two small turbos parallel, like 2 cylinders of the exh. manifold to 1 turbo, but even then you would have more lag than just doing a big turbo.

I think he ment to boost the smaller turbo and run the boosted air into the exhaust side of the larger turbo. right?

yeah, the RX-7 TT is a sequential turbo setup, but it also has 2 exhaust mani's to spool the seperate turbos more quickly with less restriction.


another way to do what gsxeclipsed is saying is an idea a friend of mine told me about. its something that some drag racers have come up with. basically, you replace your AC compressor with an ambient air compressor. then collect that compressed air in a cylindar. then wire a switch and solenoid to activate the system. then make a pressure line from the cylindar to the exhaust side of the turbo. then finally, activate the solenoid to blow that compressed air into the turbine, thus spooling the turbo more quickly than the exhaust can do it. its an interesting concept and the guys that have done it have shown amazing results in their 60' times. just something to think about i guess

How many times has this come up now

If your heart is set on it Here is how us diesel guys do it.

i would like to see you do better!

sorry about the post didnt really know how to look for a thread that doesnt really pertain to our cars. thanks for all the help tho

thanks tuners

In the dsm engine bay there just isnt enough room. Now, if you had the room and ran the first turbo as a 20g and the second as a 14b, then series the turbos (20g outlet in to 14b inlet) it would create insane amounts of boost (30+ easy). You just then need to cool it with a really big intercooler.
