Nup I don't think so but its one of them "it can be done" projects.

Suppose if I had 8 turbo's and one engine and a lot of pipes lying around.
:D

Its a nutty idea and I love it. :)

I wonder if it made it off the dyno stand back into the car ?

Guess it is like the old saying

Why have 2 x 40 year old women at one time
When 4 x 20 year olds instead

Twin turbos on an LS-1 would have been fine by me.

8 x 10yr olds doesnt make it better.......

Maybe a slight change in the development path of 'The Heat'??? Methinks you would be able to dip into the 12's with that lot.... :D

Ive seen the video of this.... HOW the hell do they think that paint on the exhaust pipes is going to stay there. The manifolds and pipes were glowing.

Has anybody worked out the piping?

It kind of looks like 4 turbos feed into another 4 turbos rather then one turbo per bank.

Very confusing.

From the video it looks like one bank feeds 4 Turbos in series rather than one per Cyl. The turbo's would have issues spooling due to the pulse if it was 1 per cyl but how does it work with the turbo's in series like it seems to be setup? low boost in 1, bit more in 2, more again in 3 etc

Im no tech head but the engine runs so it must work.
