/PS class
« on: April 27, 2005, 09:27:00 PM »
Rules for this class say the engine has to be "as originally configured and equipped".  So my interpretation of this is that if I run a car that originally had a twin-turbo engine, I could upgrade the turbos but would have to stay with twins; if I went to a single turbo I'd be in /BGC.  Am I right?

Straight 6 -that's correct. But not with that Datsun on the left.

That's a Toyota 2000GT I'll have you know    :D
 
 One thing I forgot, the original configuration would be a sequential arrangement, would one have to stay sequential or could it be changed to a conventional  non-sequential twin turbo setup?

The words "as originally configured and equipped"

No . . . same engine though.  Four-door.  You should be able to figure it out from there  :)

If you can change turbos, but have to keep them sequential I think you could buy turbos that would make the motor think if was being feed by one large one that was more or less drawing through the other one.

Straight Six,
 When you say "sequential" do you mean "in series" i.e. one turbo blows the other? Is the six you are talking about a diesel? The tractor pull guys run turbos in series on the big "super stock" diesel tractors, 120 pounds of boost! (That's 8 bar if you are metrically inclined.) Now that really calls for some good rods and a strong crank.

The sequential twin turbo system on the Toyota 2JZ-GTE engine works by at low RPM running all the exhaust through one turbine, then as the revs rise bringing the other turbo online gradually.  No series turbocharging here, at max boost both turbos are blowing in parallel and equally.

Dan, it's quite possibly the coolest "family" car in existance. It could scare the s@#t out of the little woman when she goes to pick up the kids at day care.
 
 It's the japanese domestic market version of the Lexus GS300 4 door sedan but with the fire breathing twin turbo 2JZ 3.0L engine dropped in, just for laughs!
 
 We have one of our engineers here with a big single turbo on his 2JZ (Mk-IV Supra) with one of our computers and made 903 HP to the wheels and drives the car to work 2-3 times a week in LA traffic! The 2JZ is an insanely strong 3.0L engine.
