Chainsaws :p...I could get done cutting the firewood all that much faster

I wonder if one of those would bolt up to my 25hp Honda outboard? Then my boat could officially be called a ricer. Just gotta add an equally small NOS bottle and some outrageous neon lighting and it'll be set

I have read about "remote turbos" used on Camaro and such. They are mounted at the very rear of the car and are said to work great. Do a Google search on "remote turbo". These are used on gas engins but wouldn't they work the same? I have thought about trying this on my 500SEL using a turbo from a 300D.
Food for thought.

I just looked at this page

Looks really interesting. I bet if you finned the intake pipe it would act as a long intercooler...

Now here is a thought, put one on the back of a 603 and feed the compressed air into the existing turbo. Like the scavenger turbos on the old WWII radial engines.

Hmm, straight pipe right to the turbo... Oh and get a nice BIG one to boost the pressure say 6 psi or so... Up the Injection pump and take off... How about it Finland?

A header pipe with passages of equal length may effectively reduce back pressure on your engine at some rpms. It may also aid in turbine efficiency slightly by maintaining an equal time in between pulses thus keeping the pressure across the turbine more even. There will be some loss of energy due to loss of heat and drag due to the increased length. The increased volume of the exhaust manifold will dampen the pulses, this may reduce low rpm boost but will increase turbine efficiency at higher rpms.

To know whether its going to end up improving things you need to have more specific information and do some major calculations or experimentation.

At the Lumberjack show, they have the "Supersaws" that are turbocharged... man those things can cut!

And about that being the smallest... I'm not so sure. They make microturbine gas turbine/generator sets that are the size of my thumb, and deliver the power almost of a car battery. They still employ a centrifugal compressor and radial turbine like our turbos

They would spin up so fast that you would hardly hear them. I'm sure that they would be more efficient than one. You would get no more power without IP modifications. But oh, the cost!

If I had a couple grand to blow I'd do it just to say my engine has 5 turbos.

I would think that a header style exhaust manifold, with nice smooth mandrel bent pipes would work better than any iron log-style exhaust manifold. Obviously the header pipes would be kept as short as possible to minimize heat loss and keep velocity high. I do know that headers such as this are common on the full-tilt race turbo engines..... I am guessing that the header type manifold is also several orders of magnitude more difficult to produce and fragile as well. RT

Give me some pipe and I can whip one up in an afternoon

I think I might try for some shorty headers. also might re-work the intake manifold.

One problem i would see with five little turbos, is they would allways be spooled. meaning they would eventually go out from overheating.

1981 240d (engine donor 1983 240d) recently rebuilt engine hurray! - No more.. fought a tree and the tree won.

pearl black 1983 240d 4speed (Converted!@$$%) atleast the tranny was rebuilt.

No, because they are still too big for one cylinder to spool at idle. Plus, having em spooled all the time wont kill em....... No quicker than driving your car all day then shutting it down after a 1 minute cool down will kill your turbo.....

Those turbos are up to heat within a few minutes of driving. After that, they don't get any hotter unless you somehow release some massive overfueling on em......

Not to interrupt - but talking about exhaust related items -

anybody ever ordered the Fastlane # H 6000-69484 header pipe ?
price differences Dealer versus Fastlane Prices makes me wonder if I em looking
at the right part - unless the price is for Gas cars not diesel -could use some help ,
Thanks -
