compound turbos?

Sweet Jesus. I want one. I have no use for it, but that's just a pretty engine to look at. I'll make it into my coffee table. Might have to reinforce the floor a bit.

Lol but why?

You would need to have a serious built motor to even think about something like that. It would cost less to build and stroke the motor to reduce spool time than try and fab up something like that.

a compound setup is a turbo & supercharged engine, 2 turbos is still just called a twin turbo

Wrong and wrong.

Most people in the FI community refer to a twin turbo as a set of identical turbos (i.e. twins) feeding off two different banks of a V-platform motor.

There is also a sequential turbo setup (e.g. OEM Supra), that has two different sized turbos in sequence rather than in parallel. The compound turbo setup is similar, but the piping is a bit different based on what I have seen. Similar concept and goals, though.

Then there is what is commonly referred to as twin-charging, which is a supercharger + a turbo.

No, watch the video

The small turbo pipes air into the larger turbo

ive been in that 300zx its a friend of mine, and its a really nice setup but to be honest its not really worth the money and effort IMO. it worked out for him because he made it but that is a 15k kit to replicate and after playing with it with larger turbos it was still quite laggy. It was deadly with a smaller turbo setup but its still spin city and i think gains can be achieved with a well designed conv. twin turbo kit.

Here is the link to my second dyno session of my 350z with a GT35R feeding the stillen roots. Full torque by 3500 rpms. Sound is indescribeable. Driveability is awesome. Throttle response of a big v8 and then put you in your seat turbo rush.

This is on only 4.5lbs boost at sc and 5 at turbo. Wanted to build the motor and put the 8.5lb sc pulley on and turn up that turbo but I have decided to go to the 370z platform instead of throwing all that money in the 350.

I think with the 8.5lb pulley and a few more pounds feeding it she would have been NASTY!
