Can we talk about triples?

I dont understand why you 'd have to chop out anything? I configured mine without losing ANY stock parts (other than air box) and I'm using slightly larger chargers than HYs. :what:

are those hx35's? is there any reason all three are the same? i figure i can build triples cheaper than twins cause the turbos are dirt cheap.

anyone got some spare hy35's laying around?
 
My initial idea was to mount the secondary backwards with the 4 in exhaust (s300) then transition to a 3 inch (velocity increase/pressure decrease) with an ED gate dumping into it, distance to the first turbo would be short and between these two point another gate dumping to exhaust.

35/40 hybrids. simple math. I think HYs are only 54mm and really not worth it.
 
hy35's are 56mm some hx35's are 56mm some are 58mm. Alot of hx40's are 58mm, the 6 blade ones are 60mm.

those look like the knock off chinese hx35's off ebay, this should be a good test for their durability.
 
huh, the picture made it look bigger... thanks for all the info, im on my way to a triple turbo'ed cummins!
 
Maybe a longer hotpipe with Chinese knock-offs is a good idea, slows down the parts of the turbine wheel before it reaches the other two.

How is a 7" hotpipe "long"?:what:
Also, I have had these particular type turbos well past their max without failure. The only failure I had with one was from a new BW S400 blowing up and sending scrap through it. They warranteed it and sent me a new one.
Many knock off turbos are JUNK, and I have sent them straight back to the seller. But I have abused a few of these and had no issues with them and for the most part, this set-up will not be abused and operate @ less than full capacity. I'm doing it as an experiment, and If I like the results I will go to Garrett chargers for the next one. $.02

I don't see anything 7" in this picture.

You're right. I just measured it by putting a rope inside from flange to flange and its a whopping 10-1/2" ! I'm sure between the heat wrap, ceramic coating and heavy tubing the exhaust will have all but cooled before getting to the primaries.
PS- where's YOUR set-up? since I'm sure it would be the best money can buy and technologically perfect, right?

hes saying you should make it longer to catch the pieces of the secondary when it blows up....

WHY? IF it ever happens, I already have a VGT set-up to replace it with.

Honestly, I'm having fun fabricating this. I dont have any record breaking plans for it, just wanted to see how hard it was to do. For what I have into it, let it blow up, who cares!
 
i didnt say it, i was just clarifying what he said. I think it will be a good test for the ebay turbos..... like i said.

what are you planning for a vgt, i think that will be my next adventure.
 
I plowed the snow off my street with the trips on today. Worked real well for that. Maybe when I can pull the plow back off, I can get a better feel for what they can do, but so far feels real good. Boost starts right off idle and EGTs never went over 700*.
