turbo hookup
ok firstly im currently deployed in a very hot desert place not in the united states. now with that out the way id like to say whats up to everyone and get some help for my build when i get back from this place. either on leave or just when i get back(?????????). Now to the questions - ive noticed a turbo here at work on 10kw generator(its a 3cyl manufactured by mitsubishi), its complete size is about that of a softball. i was able to see a new one up close before it was exchanged for a blown one. it weighs about 3lbs. the intake to the compressor is about the size of a half dollar, and spools up very quickly just from blowing into the exhaust housing. according to the mechanic they produce about +/-12psi now there may be chance that i can accquire one or more ;) when i get back home. would it be rational to connect 2 or more up to a b16a1 and if so how in the hell would i run a dual turbo setup...as i have done nothing over a single setup? any help would be of great help. thanks and laterx from the middle of nowhere!
ps - ill add some pics probally tomorrow or the next day |
Re:turbo hookup
I wanna see some pics of this 3 lb turbo... sounds sweet.

Re:turbo hookup
hook one up normally, then connect the discharge, instead of going to the downpipe, to the exhaust inlet of the second one? or make a cusom mani and power each off of 2 runners?

Re:turbo hookup
well its like 3 in the am here and ill have to wait to harrass my roommate for his camera for the pics but im wondering how to i setup the charge pipes to the IC primarily or if im going to have to run some sort of special Y pipe in order to get them into one IC or use 2? im pretty much to the understanding that im going to have to go full custom on my header.

Re:turbo hookup
there have been 2 twin turbo set ups here on HMT, one was by Whitey, and other was by Abaz(jeff) they both used 2 IHI turbos, 2 cylinders feeding each turbo. Jeffs setup used a Intercooler with 2 inlets, and one outlet.
This is jeffs setup https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...threadid=19375 and whiteys, you'll just have to search for, it's in the forced induction section somewhere. |

Re:turbo hookup
getting this turbo is not a matter of purchase its more a matter of acqusition(?). the ones that i know that i can get are attached to these generators in a warehouse. so its more of like a hit and run type thing. last time i was there, there was about 20 of them sitting on pallets just waiting to be used. but as to my current problem they are in the US and i am not! just to think i have 17 months left of this ----. at least ill have everything i need for my setup when i get back. my current list is being purchased over the next 3 months, so far ive put in about $2700 in parts that are sitting in boxes in my garage. hope they fit when i get back.

Re:turbo hookup
I wonder how quickly these spool up? you might be able to rig up a sequential type setup.

Re:turbo hookup
Those are some tiny turbo's...the intake to the compressor is about the size of a half dollar sheesh that is small...make it a quad turbo....lol now I see Spenser beat me to it.

Re:turbo hookup
get me four turbos mister carless, and i'll do it :-*

Re:turbo hookup
these turbos will be a waste of your time untless you just want the fame of being the 3rd person on here to do a twin turbo setup, the first person to do sequential, or the first person to do quad. psi means nothing if there's isn't any air moving. sure they might do 12psi, but you get a t3 on the same engine doing 12psi and it will blow this turbo away because the t3 moves more air.
if you are hoping to do sequential, here are a few things I learned when I was trying to do a sequential (I didn't get past the planning stage). connecting one turbo to the dp of another turbo is no good, the first turbo will never spool because there's no pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet because the second turbo is in the way, that's why turbos love huge exhausts, makes low pressure in the dp. so you must make a manifold with 8 runners, 2 from each cylinder, each of the 2 going to a turbo. If the turbos are the same size you won't really have any need for a bypass or check valve to prevent exhaust from backtracking to the smaller turbo and spinning it backwords, or boost back tracking into the outlet of the small turbo and spinning it backwards. I have a link to a page about how a supra sequential setup works on my website, I would link it direclty here, but my web host is messed up right now and I don't know the link without my site. it's in the links section: http://civic.end.at |
