Can Imagine a Octupus engine?? lol...8 turbos in 1 Engine!

Engine go kaboom soon. :)

Most of the guys I know with Vettes cringe at the thought of putting a turbo on their motor. They all want blowers that stick through the hoods, etc. But I do live in North Carolina.

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...

The site said well over 800hp.

I imagine that he's not running a lot of pressure on each of those things, to preserve the engine a li'l ---- but I also imagine that the power curves on that thing are absolutely flat --- just power from start to finish, no spikes like a li'l VW 1.8T w/ a T4, y'know?

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:

There's a limitation to your argument which is valid to a degree... with one turbo per cylinder you're getting an exhaust pulse instead of a more continuous flow of exhaust to spool up the turbo.

Why?

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

i've seen this posted all over the net. and everybody always either says "wow thats awsone" or "that guy has all money and no brains, it is stuipit" or some thing to that extent. this guy didn't build it to go along with the "more it better" philiosophy. It was build to be different. i have seen many turboed tri-5 chevys, this was build as an eye catcher, had he done just a simple twin turbo, do you thing that this would get any of the attention that this has gotten?

Fair enough - we're reaching the limits of my turbocharging knowledge at this point :D
