Twin Turbo Typhoon Fpv

[stardust]

Why not one large and one small.

The smaller one to spool quickly just above idle whick will give boost down low while the bigger one spools up and works on the higer revs ?

hey guys we are talking about ford here they are most probably planning to make a twin turbo car but no doubt if it is released it wont live up to the media hype that will surround it. they will spend a whole lot of time and money preparing it for release and when they do it will be as mild as a camry , with lucky to scrape 300 kw and just for the hell of it they will add 50-100 kgs but of course fpv will tell you that it is the whole package that counts not the fact that an sv8 can keep up with you

I think it would be a great move by FPV however I dont think they will have the balls to do it. after all the hype surrounding the typhoon before release I can just imagine how much slake FPV would cop for a TWIN TURBO setup on the already "very potent" xr6 turbo and typhoon.

Oh how right you are 351, twin turbo my ar$e , they can't even get the single job right and they should at least sort the diff probs before they start worrying about another technical nightmare

Stardust, some supras ran two different sized turbos. the smaller one feed the bigger one. It is very difficult to get a seamless power transition from when one stops to the other one takes over. sometimes a hiccup can be felt on power....

All I know is if FORD brought out a twin turbo Typhoon/Tornado, I'd be one of the first at their counter.

Not for the OUTRIGHT power it may or not have, but the driveability would be much much improved. I'd take a smidgen more power on the top end from 2000/2800 rpm.. happy camper.

The big drag cars use one big asss turbo for monster 1/4 mile times, yeah for sure, but they also use NOS to get the big blighters spooled up to power making RPMs.

There is no reason, imho, for FMC/FPV to consider a twin turbo set-up when there is so much untapped potential in the current set up with a single

Why bother re-engineering something they have only realy scratched the surface of. Shorten the inlet tract. Fit a real plenum. Play with the boost and increase the fuel delivery systems. Put a decent exhaust manifold on the current single. All items more easily done than stuffing around trying to get a set of twins to work. Why think they would get twins working when they have not gotten the single working to its potential yet.

I think FMC/FPV would be crazy to stuff around with a twin set-up when they have got everything they need at their fingertips right now. Fix the items above and remove 80% of the current lag and fix the driveline/diff issues at the same time. Even better still, learn to drive 'em right and lag is not an issue.

What next, a suggestion that FPV are developing a supercharger fitted upstream of the twin turbos to make sure they both spool up quicker

hi gents,

Please don't be fooled...a twin turbo set up has only got marginal lag improvement over a single. If you don't believe me, just take a Nissan GTR for a drive. You will be disgusted at the "LAG" that these vehicles have, and how annoying they are to drive, especially in traffic. The XR6T is dream compared to other turbo vehicles.

Single turbo will do...Twin turbo "sounds good" for marketing.

My opinion only.

Cheers.

Two is always better than one. Some of the fastest GTR's in the world run unbelieveably large twin turbo setups after having a big single which didn't provide enough air. For example twin 3037's over something like a single T51R.

I don't think we'll be seeing twins on any of the ford line up mainly due to cost and really I can't see the need.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yeah well I think its the fastest GTR in the world uses a single. Singles will provide more boost than twins, the benefit of twins is you can run 2 smaller ones rather than one huge one and the smaller turbines will spool up faster

Sorry, you think wrong The HKS GT-R which is the worlds fastest runs two prototype HKS turbos... Cheers.

World fastest GTR has GT3540R x2 running a 7.671 1/4 mile.

Would be good to see the T with a reasonable twin turbo set up but with the torgue of a 4ltr engine that can already produce some quite impressive figures I can't see Ford throwing the money at it. I'm always willing to be proved wrong though.

Huh. You use a small primary and a bigger secondary, you get more power faster than using a single turbo. Two is allways better than one.
