I don't think it would work very well. You would only have exhaust flow to turn the turbo during the exhaust stroke of that one cylinder... therefore your boost would come in bursts. Maybe you could tune the pipe lengths such that the bursts come in at the same time that the intake stroke begins... but I foresee that would be very difficult. And, since it doesn't have a continuous exhaust pressure to keep it spooled up, it would spin down between every exhaust stroke, and you'd waste a lot of energy just spooling the turbo back up on every cycle.

I just don't see that being a valuable exercise.

 

I once saw a website of someone who made a custom mini bike with a turbocharged lawnmower engine on it. I was quite impressive and sick to say the least. I wish I could find it. It's right up there with the turbine powered go-kart.

Execllent idea, you're a genius! Why hasn't anyone else thought of it?

 

the Bulgatti EB110 has 4 turbos but not ITB, maybe is worthless the use of ITB

 

chill...

 

Doesn't it also have 12 cylinders (as opposed to 4)?

 

yes marcus

12 cylinders 3.5L, 5 valves per clylinder

 

yep; 3.5 liter quad-turbo 60 valve V12, makes 560hp and 450lb-ft, costs 450Gs
nice car

 

Turbos run off gas pressure and the more pressure you have the bigger turbo you can use. That's why all the twin turbo guys go with single turbos when they start modding and making big power.

The 4 turbo idea is dumb.

 

u dont need (a) header(s) with a turbo setup..
