That thing has EIGHT turbos? Four forward facing and four rearward facing. Thing has a fuckin header lookin contraption JUST for the air intakes on each side. Then a manifold in the back for the intake?!??!? Now im not sure if tahts a air to air intercooler or a radiator in the front but if thats an air to air intercooler are they going to plumb all that piping into one manifold, merge it into one pipe feed it into that intercooler and then into the intake manifold? At least he went with internally acutated wastegates. I couldnt imagine plumbing that fucker up with EIGHT wastegates with individual dumps/returns as well. Regardless, ...WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?!??!

the headders started to glow red and with 8 turbos it only makes 600 hp.. pretty sad.

hey thats my motor! Talk about all the things not to do when designing a TT system. He broke just about every rule!

Highly ineffecient.
.71 litre single cylinder to drive a single turbo = shit spool time and not enough gas volume/speed to turn her right. Lame.

1 Turbo per cylinder = not enough exhaust velocity for turbos to operate efficeintly. Or you gotta' have much compression. Not a very good idea. Stupid chevy guys, what were you thinking!
Wait till they see my 10 Turbo Viper engine!!!!!!

No doubt that its a stupid design from a performance perspective. Thing is, I think he did it for show and shock appeal. Not the cleanest setup for that regardless.

This is the 2nd stupidest turbo setup I have ever seen.

sure lets mount the turbo at the end of the exhaust pipe and then plumb all that right back up to the front.

Ummm... funny thing happens to the exhaust as it travels down the pipe towards the exit.

loses heat energy, but still has compressed gas energy from motor, not very efficent.

[Nameless]

As it cools, water vapor collects. The velocity also slows down greatly with every inch of movement though an exhaust.

This is a stupid idea, and it was brought up many years ago on one of the f-body forums IIRC.

The insanity of being different for the sake of being different produces the worlds first cloning of a car with a spider

it was supposed to be a Chevy Black widow - but ended up being a Chevy with twin Daddy Long Legs -

having 2 spiders mating on your engine is wrong for so many reasons...


both of them being male is one of them

Hey dumbasses, before you all jump to conclusions, do some research and find out that it is a SHOW CAR. That is the only reason the owner did this setup.

[Nameless]

Ummm... ok.

oh well then - that makes it perfectly perfect





it belongs in a show for sheer entertainment value alone

where else would you see 2 daddy long legs mating on top of an LS1?







In all seriousness however - it would take a lot of expertise just to get that baby to run properly - so if they can make 800hp out of it - good on them

I wonder how much that setup cost that guy.
