This has to be the most ginormous turbo ive ever seen.

:shock:

what the hell!?!

i don't suppose you know what kinda car their putting that on?

v8 drag car....lol :D
just goes to show, lag doesnt mean much on the strip.

hmm.... looks like two giant turbos? ridiculous..

It's the size of my Citroen AX, dude!!! WTF??? :shock:

hahah great! anyone knows the amount of hp? must be in the 1000snts :D

THAT TURBO IS HUGE, that must be on a drag car.
that must put out an insane amount of power.

one is the exhaust turbine side and the other is the compressor side(where the air that actually gets compressed goes into obviously)

the compressor side, is the one with the GIANT tube sticking forward leading into the turbo.

That's huge.. Think Hp power is closer to 2,000 HP IMO with that kind of turbo.. :mrgreen:

thank god nitro-methane has some serious high exit velocities, otherwise, man, it would be tough spinning a turbine that size.... wonder how many psi, and what kind of exotic gaskets hes useing... cirtainly more then just copper!

are you serious you thought that was 2 turbos?

:o those are the biggest turbo i've ever seen.. :roll: how many bar it produce? 5?
that car must been one thirsty car...

Just so you guys know I know nothing bout this turbo just that I could fit my head in the intake

will those tiny wheels support the power?

the car isnt front wheel drive......and braking doesnt mean anything since its purely a drag car....


however, you should find a pic of some slicks on a pro stock car or a funny car. that's essentially whats gonna be on the back of this thing. well, that, an enourmous spoiler, traction bars, and a large folded up parachute waiting to be deployed after a 200+ mph run. :D

these guys can run anywhere from 45-60 psi from what iremember....these motors get rebuilt after every 1/4 mile pass as well.

Brian.

your head.....i culd fit my dam car in there

thats a dam huge turbo,amazing.

What a big engine! It is just stupendous.

don't see why they wouldn't go with a TT setup on a V8... other than that, you guys should ask the next trucker you see to pop his hood if you want to see a big turbo.

They didn't go with TT because this is a drag car, and they don't care about lag, they are only looking for massive horsepower.

what about this? :D

Good god thats gotta be for a train. And what kind of exhaust velocity you need to turn that.

to be perfectly honest, im not sure that is a turbocharger (as we know them). especially considering he seems to be in an industrial yard. my guess is it is a centrifugal water pump of some sort....could be wrong though
