wouldn't having a third, smaller turbine before the other two provide less spool lag? It seems like having a third would even out the lag so that it was snappier, and behaved more like it was N/A, right? I could see it being a benefit to a smaller displacement diesel..
@seri267 better economy and CO2 output and greater power... a smaller engine can produce the same amount of power has a bigger engine... turbos only produce power at certain RPM so when you are just driving along at low rpm you have little power saving a lot of fuel, but when you put your foot down and reach certain rpm the turbo kicks in and transform exhaust pressure into power... having 3 with VTG is amazing.
So .. if I understand this right ... this is actually a parallel twin turbo with a larger extra turbo to boost on top of that - a compound + parallel set up! At high revs the small turbo is a bottleneck to the larger turbo so switching to two small turbos between it and the engine keeps boost up.
In fact, at the same power and engine capacity our engines are 3 times more light - the same power to existing engine and therefore with smaller sizes. With best regards, Kolev Motors Varna / Bulgaria
i waited for a demo or an engine pic so long. was realy curious how they managed the space in the engine bay and piping...and if they were REALY going to use 3 real turbos. i have to say i am impressed....by how complicated it is. nice numbers, but too complicated. i wonder hows the realiability on this engine. i still prefer a twin turbo mill
Holy fuck. I couldn't imagine the cost of repairs on this once the warranty is done.
Why is this not called the TriPower Turbo diesel engine?
That is a very good explanation. 👌👌👌
So is this three compound turbos?
I'd love to see this engine dropped into an e46
Is this the engine in the CarbonMotors E7?
Give me one of their normally aspirated gas gems from the past. Screw all this complexity.....................
I'm sure your 100% correct and BMW overlooked all of that!
where is the music?
ur diesel engines r 3 x lighter than petrol engines of same capacity?
diesels need heavier duty blocks than petrol, so how does that work?
what about its efficiency??

perfect!
must say pretty damn beast!!!

did that turbo just have an on/off option ? O.o

@dpain0 They are.
