if individual throttle bodies is good, this HAS to be better - BLINGMW - 03-09-2006

my co-worker and I were joking the other day about an individual turbo per cylinder setup. The plumbing would be crazy! But then I got to thinking... maybe it wouldn't be so bad, and think about the bragging rights! :lol: Well sure enough, we weren't the first to think of it:

Have any of you heard of any other setups like this? Looks like this article is indicating that finding turbos that small isn't easy. Doesn't sound like they have a working prototype or anything, wonder if anyone does?

Well, if nothing else, it looks as cool as I imagined it would. 8)

That's really stupid.

Not only is it stupid....its only 730hp. You could get that from 1XBlower...

You don't build a car like that to be an efficient power machine, you build that car to be unique.

so. I figure all I need is like 4 of these, and I'm well on my way to a quad turbo 318? :wink:

Aparently a few jap bikes had little 2" turbos in the early '80s. Wonder if they'd be small enough?
