Some pretty wild looking engineering. Those long tubes will only enhance turbo lag.

Why?

Why?

Don't ask stupid questions, TJ, just drool! :D

Someone was high on crack at the time... :roll:

Its an Ls1, and each turbo runs 8psi (i think)

[Jand3rson]

That's one of those "hey, I've got the money, why not?" projects.

insane.... i wouldnt mind having that

[SlammedE30]

Talk about a plumbing nightmare!! :x

I suppose the idea is awesome throttle response with each cylinder running a low pressure turbo. An interesting engineering exercise....

8x turbo LS1...I would expect more HP out of it...
Got this crap from that website, Lateral-G.net..
Car on the dyno
They say it makes 800hp but I would expect something like a 8x turbo LS1 to make tons more than that...

That thing sounds like somthing out of starwars with all that whiring.

What a waste 2 turbos or one well designed system would have gave better performance.

What a waste 2 turbos or one well designed system would have gave better performance.

I dunno - I mean, that Bugatti Veyron has 4 turbos and 16 cylinders - I'd say that's pretty well-designed --- so why not add a couple turbos to compensate for the missing cylinders :D ?

Anyway, 1 big turbo requires a lot more air to get moving than 2 smaller ones -- so the same would hold true for 8 small turbos vs 2 bigger ones....

That way, you're never off boost :twisted:
