Kirk Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Well looks like some interesting new turbo tech is due for release within this year. Take a read. http://www.honeywell.com/sites/portal?smap=turbo&page=aboutus_pressrelease_details&theme=T8&c=n&id=A719C8613-F6E1-9CF7-9B94-A198039D034A&catID=C6OZBJK6D1L7V3938BJLLVNXP5ANZPCD50813231049691 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Ive never understood when aviation tech doesnt follow onto car design. We've had back to back centrifugal compressors for years. Just wonder how big the turbine has to be to counter the lag of a pair of compressors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Vnt are already available from BorgWarner and are used on porkers Aye. Wasn't Kranz going to try and fit these to a Supra or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 Vnt are already available from BorgWarner and are used on porkers True but arnt they relatively small in size? Apparently these VNT turbos are going to be in similiar frame size to some of garrets t4 range currently. Dont hold me to that but according to a few people i know of this is the next big thing for tuners? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 Well geoff has been hinting the next big thing is on its way so this must be it. Should be interesting to see when people start tinkering with these things on 2jz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Someone already has them on a RB26 engine. They're currently fairly small by our standards, but large enough to use on the Porker 3.8 flat 6 to get 620bhp. I've always said, a Supra with a DCT, VNT, electromagnetic suspension and a decent electronic diff would be amazing. Lots of development involved, but it would really push the UK scene forward. Just needs someone to take the leap of faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanisLupus Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 VNT is an awesome Technology. High Boost at Low Revs and still enough Airflow to support higher HP Numbers. Had two Types on my Previous Volvo S40 1.9 Diesel. The Smaller put out over 1bar at approx. 1700 revs with a max of 1,3-1,4(which also was his limit) the bigger had over 1bar at 1900 and can put out a max of 2,1bars with possibility of 2,3 Overboost. Sadly didt'n have the car mapped cause the Supra came in the way A Supra with VNT twins would be... oh jizzed my pants :d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
