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!

porsche94 02-09-2004 06:02 PM

are you serious you thought that was 2 turbos?

oantob 02-09-2004 08:26 PM

:o those are the biggest turbo i've ever seen.. :roll: how many bar it produce? 5?

gigdy 02-09-2004 08:33 PM

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
