lol at two 91mm turbos on a 30 liter. That's putting a single K03 on a Viper.

Very interesting article though. Jay is the man.

Most of the fuel mileage is from the fuel injection, not the turbos.


Ancient carbs to modern fuel injection is key.

Twin Zenith-Strombergs on a 30 liter engine said it all to me.

id say the 91mm's are fine. I doubt that engine spins very fast. id say 2k rpm's is its limit.
