Just as vehicle manufacturers build concept vehicle to showcase their future design ideas and to gauge public interest, so Owen Developments from Oxfordshire, specialists in turbocharger, manifold and engine power boosting technologies, have just revealed their unique Quad Turbo Kit concept.
The design was shown in January for the first time at the Autosport International Show held in Birmingham.
Brian Owen managing director said, "As the Autosport event has such an international audience we took the opportunity to reveal a project we have been working on for some time. The Quad Turbo Kit demonstrates our ability to develop technologies and equipment to meet any vehicle manufacturers’ standards and requirements."
He said, "The project is to evaluate how small the manufacture of a turbocharger would have to be in order for one to be used for each engine cylinder. The reason for the use of multi turbochargers is to produce sufficient boost speed not only to achieve optimum atmospheric pressure but additional boost for each of the four cylinders. This would produce better driveability, engine response and more performance. This technology is a good example, we think, of where the design of future high performance engines may ultimately end up."
"We have received considerable interest about this project which we feel will bring significant advantages for both petrol and diesel engines. Indeed one very large vehicle manufacturing group which produces a wide range of diesel engines has shown considerable interest in our Quad turbocharger design and engineering concept," said Brian Owen.

The Intimid8r is an 8 Turbo LS1 powered 1957 Chevy Bel Air. Was made by someone in Hawaii I think. Had a good 300lbs of extra piping, and pumped out 700ish whp at only 8 or 9 psi I think...
