harasn Used to work at the Ford Proving Ground! Lifetime Members 306 Member For: 22y 2m 6d Gender: Male Location: Geelong Posted 18/05/03 11:42 AM Share Posted 18/05/03 11:42 AM The zoom article your talking about was WorkHorse Wakeup series. very impressive! Twin turbos off a 4cylinder nissan motor I think. Smoke machine. Had no traction and then they upgraded the turbos to nissan V6 trurbos I think. I would do this job for my own car but ford isn't about to do it for already stated reasons!would be nice but!

So would the price, therefore I can't see Ford doing it, when they are already on a winner with the underworked single turbo.Rob Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/2988-heres-some-news/page/2/#findComment-23279 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expensive Daewoo has had super 6's for ages... they will get a twin turbo before ford does.

Doubtfull that Ford will change to this setup, nothing really wrong with the single turbo we have now.

Cobra potty trained Lifetime Members 1,938 Member For: 22y 7d Gender: Male Posted 19/05/03 08:26 AM Share Posted 19/05/03 08:26 AM the last twin turbo I drove relied on a broad rev range to be effective ... actually I didn't like it that much ... felt brittle some-how unlike the XRT which is in a class of its own ... the XRT hasn't got the 6000-8o00 range when one can pull miracles .... like the GTRs, TT-Supras and other hp in-linersa Garrett40 at 6psi is only "lighty blown" to say the least, if it got to 12 or 18 then one could use engine management to emulate the action of a twin turbo ...is it the bottom end of the rpm range we are really talking about ? :( if it is then we should have got V8s ( :D j/k)... nothing like cu"s Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/2988-heres-some-news/page/2/#findComment-23406 Share on other sites More sharing options...
