I know this is off the topic of hondas. But I was wondering how a single turbo v6 works? I know how a twin turbo v6 works because you just have a turbo and manifold on both sides. But if its single, do they just have it on one side and the other side is just a header? Or do they both collect at some point and place the turbo there? Thanks.

 

there is a cross over pipe this is a LS1...


notice a pipe comes from teh passenger side manifold over to the driver side wher ethe turbo is..

 

Ah, I see. So this is how vw vr6s and bmw M3s are turboed?

 

M3's have a inline 6 so the manfiold looks like honda manfiolds only with 2 more runners. VR6's yes i imagine they are turboed in the same manner. Mustang Fox Bod owners usually make their own manifolds by simply putting on the stock headers or short tube headers backwards then connecting them with a Y collector with a turbo and wastegate flange on the end.

 

its not an effecient setup V motors must have twins and inlines must have single's.. according to corky bell

 

corky bell if a ******* moron too

 

Im pretty sure the Vr6 is also an inline six motor, so it would be done the same as a Supra or other inline motor with a turbo.

 

wrong

the cylinders are all almost vertical...and they are in a staggered placement. but they are by no means an inline engine.

Twins theoretically should be more efficient on a v-engine, but it doesn't mean that they must run twins. Look at pro 5.0 guys, they seem to be OK dipping into mid 6's with single turbo V8's

 

a vr6 mani looks like this,

 

The VR6 has two banks but one head. So you only need one manifold.

Thats beacuse the rules allow only 1 power adder. how would supercharged guys be able to compete with guys who have two turbos?

 

Yea leave it to Volkswagon to make a single headed V6 motor, geez...

But, yea the manifold sits behind the motor and is just like a honda set up with 2 extra cylinders, a buddy of mine makes an adaptor to fit a T4 turbo onto stock VR manifolds

and corkey bell is a moron. he wrote a mediocre book...and ppl worship him as a god. it needs to be rewritten by a smart person.

and did you read the dudes comment? yeah, thought so.

 

Not sure if anyone is familiar with bmw engines. But does anyone know if the 325i engines have a single head or what? Thanks again. Thanks.

Corky bell
or
eh2nboost

your ******* pathetic

 

did i say i could write the book better?
nope
is that book over hyped because the Honda-tech bandwagon approach...YES
do i know corky bell?
yes
does even he say there was a lot more that should have been in there?
yes

are you pathetic becasue you're ignorant as ****?
yes
did you just say that anything with 2 turbos can beat a s/c?
yes
is that a stupid *** uninformed comment?
yes

 

grow up.....

BAN

stfu *******, where did I say any of that? you are now limited to only 2% you wont be warned anymore.

 

I wanna turbo a v8 should i go with single or twins? I am also thinking of turboing a Ford Windsor, how is that motor on boost?

 

you said that no s/c car could compete with a twin turbo car.

now, it seems to me that the fastest, quickest, and most powerful turbo cars are ALL single turbo

twin turbos are most of the time a waste. what you can't do with one huge single...can't be done with dual setups either.

you're just a whiny ricer that thinks more turbo makes more power

stop reading maximum boost, and think about things before you say stupid ****

Are you a moron? EVERY class that allows both turbos and superchargers. the turbo cars dominate. the rules state that only one power adder is allowed and its for one reason.. two turbos would make more power than one blower. the only way two turbos are allowed is if they both equal to what one big single would. (so instead of running a single 100mm turbo, you can run two 50mm turbos) thats means you cannot run two 60,70 or 80mm turbos. or the supercharged cars wouldnt be able to compete. now you need to be quiet. you dont know corky bell, you are NOT intelligent, and you have no idea what you are taking about.
