    This is literally the only video or document that has genuine data showing why twin turbo may be better.
    I see almost no one talking about back pressure.
    This channel literally answers the question of:
    Is SINGLE or TWIN TURBO better, and the answer is very situation based:
    More responsive single turbo can be better than less responsive twin turbos
    A single big turbo may be worse than twin of the same turbos at the same boost, for both longevity and power.
    A bigger but more responsive single turbo may provide outright more power everywhere and be more responsive everywhere than an incorrectly sized twin turbo.
    This channel is an absolute goldmine of information.
    Thank you for making these!

    Love the work you are doing. Very informative. Biggest thing I noticed from twin turbos vs the s480 was the back pressure. That s480 has a lot of back pressure on the high end. To me, seeing how much less back pressure the twins had is very appealing to me. I would think a setup of properly sized twins would last longer on a motor vs a bigger single turbo.

    • @jasonquartermile425
      @jasonquartermile425 6 місяців тому

      More backpressure really doesn't "hurt" anything as long as it's within reason, also a single will make more HP than twins at the same PSI because the extra turbine on twins takes an extra 20-30hp to drive.

    The only thing I wish you had was the Turbine a/r. That's why the single starts to choke at 700hp and 10psi. They work better at higher boost for a couple reasons: the compressor efficiency is higher with higher boost, there is higher manifold pressure relative to back pressure or drive pressure and it keeps the whole system under pressure. With a larger turbine housing they will do way better for bigger engines or higher airflow. There is nearly a direct inverse relationship between turbine ar and peak drive pressure. This was awesome man, thanks.

    Suggestion for a future turbo comparison video:
    Run dual turbos appropriately sized with varying plumbing configurations between the exhaust port and the turbo. I'm very interested in seeing how variations in the volume of air between the exhaust port and the turbo (call this hot mess "the exhaust manifold"), the length of the run between the exhaust port and the turbo inlet, and the manner in which exhaust gasses are pooled/collected ahead of the turbo inlet.
    From what I've studied of turbocharging, the efficiency of the turbocharger should increase inversely proportionally to both the volume of exhaust manifold and the length of the exhaust manifold. That said, I think that the location of the collector and manifold plumbing format is going to have an impact. Additionally, with the exhaust ports having a cross-sectional area of about 1.9 inches² a 1-5/8 diameter tube between the head and a collector into the manifold should minimize available exhaust expansion opportunity in the manifold and maximize turbo pressure development. I'm curious to know how a log manifold performs compared with this. How about stacking a turbo onto the end of a flipped stock exhaust manifold? And whether there's any advantage to creating equal-length exhaust port primary pipes between the head and the header, or more simply running a straight pipe between the port and the turbo collector? Should the exhaust run in one pipe leading up to the turbo inlet or would dumping the collector straight into the turbo inlet work fine? Is there an advantage to staggering the collectors, like 3x 2-into-1 or is a straight 4-into-1 better? Unradiused steps in exhaust pipe diameter create wave reflections and superpositions in the exhaust stream that can help to scavenge ports - are there advantages or disadvantages to including such a step at the head with a manifold that does not exactly match the port size/shape? Is there an advantage to including a large or small step in exhaust diameter immediately before the turbo inlet, or before the collector? Obviously, there's a step in the collector that's almost unavoidable.
    Similarly to steps, square wells that waves travel over also create wave reflections on both sides of the well. Can such annular wells be used in turbo applications as a means of positively smoothing the inlet gas pulses?

    Great video i definitely vote for the twin Ebay turbos setup at that price for about the same power for a fraction the price and better on the motor with lower back pressure that's a win win

    Thanks for all your research. What a time to be alive! In the 60' and 70's, if a backyard mech was getting "1 pony per cube", he had accomplished something. Now, motors like the LS/LT platform (5.3 ltr) are rated at 355 hp/ 390 torque and that is the baseline for the backyard mech to START with. With simple " bolt on parts", someone can easily double their HP / torque and have some fun. However, on the downside, I look at all my fav muscle cars now, knowing that a slightly tweaked factory truck could rip the doors off them and am sort of sad. What I wouldn't give to be 30 years younger, have the truck I have now and a bit more time.

      I had a similar thought with the technological advancement of mx bikes.
      I had a fully built cr125 in the 90s and loved it. Got my son a 2019 yz125, put a pipe and getting, revalved the suspension for his weight and speed.
      His bike absolutely destroyed my old fully built bike in every single way, handling, power, ergonomics, suspension, braking, all of it

    I love the way you analyze your data. Every other UA-cam clip. " how much boost are you running"? Uhh doesnt matter. Its boost vs back pressure. What good is 30 in the front if you have 20 in the back that cant get out. I could swap my intake and 102 for 30mm throttle body and triple my boost pressure. When you have an s480 and it's running 12psi wide open you know that thing is doing work!!!

This was back in the days of manufacturers downsizing cars and putting smaller engines in, 85 mph speedos and all that nonsense. I remember he wrote about one intake called the Smokey Ram. I can't remember who made it

But just curious about the stock lower end on those. Cast pistons?? Cast crank?? Forged rods im sure. I know they are all 4 bolt but not sure what the crank and pistons are. Thanks brotatoe.

    I just picked up a 118k 97 2500 that I'm going to swap in my 85 cucv when the 6.2 dies. I was going to 12 valve it but a big block turbo will be the transplant. I don't want to to swap it tomorrow but I'm sourcing the parts. I have 3 years and change to retirement. I'm hoping the 6.2 lives that long. Every time I get on the highway I feel bad for the torture I do to the 6.2. When you can hear the engine over the 35s you know it's not happy

    THANKS FOR THIS VIDEOS! Enlightening to see the back pressure comparisons. What would you search in a cam for twin turbos knowing that they produce less back pressure? Can you give an example with this combo? Cam for single and cam for twin.

  • @mavsformulaful
    @mavsformulaful 4 роки тому +2

    Does the higher hot side(nose) pressure also want a higher LSA and reverse split duration on the cam? Is the resulting reduced valve overlaps helpful for the high exhaust pressure, or just the more commonly talked about "lost boost"? What specs are altered if not more rev split dur@.050 and more lsa.. Thanks

    • @richardholdener1727
      @richardholdener1727  4 роки тому

      ask yourself this-how does boost go out the exhaust when the back pressure is higher than the boost pressure?

    • @mavsformulaful
      @mavsformulaful 4 роки тому +1

      @@richardholdener1727 I'm with you that far and actually figured it would effect the dyno more. I thought you mentioned what you would do to a 'turbo cam' to help the issue, so my ? is more what you would do to a cam on an engine that see's a higher exhaust pressure? Would you not want as much lower ex duration (keep the duration split less neg) and increase the LSA more to keep the overlap positive? (Like on my gen2 LT1 I use a 235/242 112LSA for motor/bottle, but thinking 230/232 114 both .600, with the VS/orBW on my 383). I dont think it will be high, but what would you do to the cam to help w high ex pressure? It seems like buy an exhaust housing or new turbo is the only fix.

    I'm a die hard ford guy and I've seen 340s outrun big blocks many times and they were potent street cars in lets say a dart or cuda...but there's something to be said about how powerful/potent the 351 Cleveland/Boss engines were...just look at the career of drag racer bob glidden,multiple championships with Cleveland powered cars to the point the NHRA banned it to usher in the 500" rule and forcing the 351 Cleveland powered out of pro stock...so glidden builds a 500" cubic inch engine based on the Boss 429 were he dominated pro stock once again with multiple championships with that combination!
