At first I figured he meant 13.5lbs per turbo, until I whipped out my calculator and discovered that would be 108lbs of boost total. Unless his sleeves are the thickness of the engine block, I don't think so |
You guys might not want to completely discount everything you see. I'm going to assume by the obvious amount of time and money in the car that he knows a little something. To a certain degree, without getting uber technical, multiple small turbos will be an advantage with spool up. 8 may seem a bit crazy, but 4 should be very easy and 6 isn't exactly feasable with 8 cylinders. 4 turbos would be roughly the same displacement per turbo as a 3 liter with two turbos and that's not accounting for his built motor. What you may not realize about this car is that if he's only making 13.5 psi, neither the engine nor turbos are breaking a sweat. He'd get much longer life out of his motor than you would your Honda running 13.5 psi and he's already making 730hp.
