side by side twin turbos?

This would work if he wanted to go triple turbo's lol.
 
I got these pics a few years ago, and yes the kid had some ungodly retarded primary that didnt work in this set-up but as far as mounting it will give you an idea

Holy ****! lol what size is that primary?? Is that real???
 
Looks like it's about 40 years old...almost always, a compressor housing that thick means its an antique, that won't make enough pressure to help our little engines. Efficiency was not in their vocabulary back then, but anything was better than natural aspiration!

There was a chick on the TDR back a few years ago that had a trick ass set of Turbonetics twins on a common rail that were done "outboard" style, I think it was termed. Polished everything, blue accents.

One of the best and cleanest examples of that configuration I've ever seen. I just can't find it now. :doh:

thanks TJ, I'm really kind of leaning towards that setup coonsmile posted up with the secondary facing to the rear, looks alot cleaner and better organized than this setup
 
and correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't it be more beneficial to keep the interstage hot pipe short, to transfer more heat energy more so than keeping the interstage cold pipe short?

Heres mine....its on a first gen tho.

sharp looking setup, I'm really liking the idea of facing the secondary backwards like that. Has that rubber elbow going into the secondary ever given you trouble? I'll probably do mine like that instead of hooking it up using flanges like the other setup had.

That is really nice. I might have to look into a setup like this.

looks like besides having to manuver the downpipe around, which shouldn't be that big of a deal, the piping is probably a little bit easier this way, less bends. And I like seeing that big primary lol.

that looks good...

is it just a straight shot from the s300 to the intercooler (beneath the setup) ?

That would be one of my concerns is just how close it is to the downpipe. Good quality heat wrap on the downpipe and a heat proof wrap on the cold air pipe should take care of that though.
 
what do you's think as far as the oil filter is concerned? Probably be best getting a remote mount kit for it?

You'd be surprised at how hot the downpipe isn't going to get in a compound setup. You've got a second turbine section removing heat/energy from the exhaust.

My downpipe sits literally less than 1/8" from the plastic heater box and doesn't melt it. It's just not that hot anymore after two turbines take the heat out. Think about it like this, what would you imagine the post-turbo EGT to be on a single charger truck that's running a WOT burst and reading say 1800 degrees pre-turbo? Maybe 1200? Depending on how long you're in it, maybe less. Now figure yet another turbine section sucking that much heat out again. You'd be down to say 800 degrees post-turbine in the downpipe.

Something to think about.

Nope it hasn't yet! Im running around 50psi threw it.

Yes the intercooler pipe from the s300 is a straight shot underneath everything. I now have exhaust housing blankets and everything is wrapped up nice. The only problem that I found with sticking the primary up there is the hood can get really HOT with out the housing blanket!

My oil filter is just as easy to change as it used to be with the single charger.

Sorry for the glare in this pic.

good deal, you don't have any pics during building them do you? How are you supporting the primary? good point about the hood getting hot, I'll have to keep an eye on that. the only thing I'm thinking about changing may be is flipping the manifold upside down, to give me more room to run the downpipe out underneath.
