Re: Jay Leno turbos 30 Liter v12, doubles gas milage!
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. |

Re: Jay Leno turbos 30 Liter v12, doubles gas milage!
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.

Re: Jay Leno turbos 30 Liter v12, doubles gas milage!
id say the 91mm's are fine. I doubt that engine spins very fast. id say 2k rpm's is its limit.
|
Re: Jay Leno turbos 30 Liter v12, doubles gas milage!
Good point.
|
Re: Jay Leno turbos 30 Liter v12, doubles gas milage!
i read an article about that car i think is like 4000rpm.
twin turbing the Blast-O-Lene, thats ------ crazy |
Re: Jay Leno turbos 30 Liter v12, doubles gas milage!

Re: Jay Leno turbos 30 Liter v12, doubles gas milage!
Thats is hot, I want one :y.
|
Re: Jay Leno turbos 30 Liter v12, doubles gas milage!
That car would be nice for other drivers on a really really sunny day....
|
Re: Jay Leno turbos 30 Liter v12, doubles gas milage!

Yea thats pretty nice...wish i had that kind of money....1500 hrs spent designing that must have cost a fortune.
It would be fun to ride up on some mini's tailgate in that thing :4 |
Re: Jay Leno turbos 30 Liter v12, doubles gas milage!
I'm just disappointed with a turbocharged 30l they could only muster 1200hp. 40hp/l :( Guess it's still killer for an engine design that old with just a couple improvements. I'd love to take that somewhere for an oil change.

You have to understand that HP comes from making torque at high rpms. An engine that massive would wear out or simply explode at high rpms. It was designed for a tank. That means it has high efficiency at low rpms and a torque curve that is predictable. |

Re: Jay Leno turbos 30 Liter v12, doubles gas milage!
there is only 2 or so that have been made (or so I hear) and the other guy lives 20 mins away from me. Last 4th of july parade I got to see it in person. The thing is a ------- beast.
