CSX4833 Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Me neither. Seems inefficient. Maybe just to make a bigger visual effect of course I'm from the old school of thinking in life that I learned from my father, "Everything in moderation".

Helix Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 lotta energy loss in the engine (inefficiency), but who cares at that power usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010KonaBlueGT Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 The turbo plumbing doesn't make since to me. Air goes into the scoop, feeds the pipes at the rear of the scoop, down through the tubes to feed the turbos, out of the two tubes that run along the intake, takes a squirt of N20, past the wastegates, up into a plenum that feeds the blower, through the blower into the intake, into the engine out the exhaust to spin the turbos, out a downtube and through the exhaust pipes that exit on the sides in via the holes in the skirts. Makes perfect sense to me. EDIT: That is called "Compound Boost". Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL SHELBY Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Thank you Phill. I know how turbo's work in a compound boost system. Looking at this setup I was thinking the turbo's were feeding the bug catcher. I now realize, in my best Homer Simpson voice 'Doe!', that the bug catcher is feeding the turbo's.

Looking at this setup I was thinking the turbo's were feeding the bug catcher. I now realize, in my best Homer Simpson voice 'Doe!', that the bug catcher is feeding the turbo's. I thought the same at first, that the turbo's were feeding the SC via the bug catcher. After watching the vid and closely looking at the plumbing, I saw the rear feed tubs on the plenum box between the scoop and blower. Personally, I think the car is UGLY as hell. And I have two words for the owner....."LITTLE DICK". Phill (can you say, "Compensating"???) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboGT Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Pretty tough to hate on a car like that - even if it is a "Chebby". The owner makes no apologies for it being over the top, it's a show car and obviously a lot of fine craftsmanship went into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSX4833 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Interesting that there are wheelie bars and a parachute but its never been to a strip. If I did all that work, I would like to know what the HP is. You know he gets asked that question a lot. Just not my thing, but to each their own, I guess.
