Another way you could look at your statement is, for a larger engine, they simply don't make turbos large enough to give you the same situation you have with your smaller engine example. The displacement and breathing capacity of engines that people are slapping turbos on has increased at a faster rate than the development of turbos that can efficiently support such engines in a single turbo configuration. That doesn't mean the principle is not correct. If a turbo was developed to be run in an efficient range on a large displacement engine in a single configuration, it would kick rearend. But the market for such a turbo would be very small. For one thing, how would you mount such a monster. What would the exhaust pipe size need to be with such a single turbo configuration?
Time to go Stage II!

Let me get this straight, Norbs. Ignoring specific turbocharger examples and just looking at this in a general manner, you believe that if you wanted to switch from a properly sized single turbo configuration to a properly sized twin turbo configuration, you would end up with 2 times the compressor flow capacity?
I was strictly comparing the 2 turbo's mentioned in the comparison, nothing else in specific in sizing between single to twins.
[quote="Alky V6,]The answer is very simple. It's very basic. Can anyone help me out here?[/quote]
The answer is go to the track and show us how its done.Hell what do i know,im shocked my car even runs LOL. But i do know your in for a real challenge trying to make your car hook that small tire and get a 1.14 60ft with all that torque and stock suspension like the sim your using claims.I along with others would be impressed with that

The answer is not simple, since what is a properly sized turbo?, a properly sized turbo has no use on the street as it would be totally not spoolable and be a dog, with your BP ratio's in your calcs. You are thinking race and I respect that, but I always think street use, so I can;t give you proper answer.
LOLAh oh. I feel it coming..
Im i going to meet you at BG this year?Im sure you will show me how its done
and would be looking forward to it so i learn some things i hope.Holy cow, Norbs. I'm thinking in general. I stated 'in general'. What does street or race have to do with giving a general answer?
Lazaris, I am not going to be teaching anyone on such a basic topic. That would be just plain ridiculous.
I myself think a sub 1.20 60ft is tuff to do with your setup.. Whats the car weight with you in it?
I know but are you going to BG? I wasnt being a smart ass about you showing me how its done in no way shape or form..Nothing but respect for youJust having some fun.
Thanks Geno. I was actually replying to Don. Unfortunately I will not be at BG but if you have anything I can help you with dont hesitate to ask.I know but are you going to BG? I wasnt being a smart ass about you showing me how its done in no way shape or form..Nothing but respect for you
Like i said before you can help by coming and showing me how it should be done LOL
JKThe car weighs 3300 lbs with me in it and fueled up.
I've run consistent 1.26 60' at 3420lbs with more in it. Only reason I didnt try for better 60's was because I index race. I was dialed where I needed to be to run the number.
