A turbo per head

Stroker04 · Dec 30, 2012

I remember seeing in diesel power mag or another magazine, something about a truck that ran a small turbo for each head. Does anyone know what im talking about or where its at? Provide a link maybe?

Is that essentially what a parallel setup is? I've wondered about this myself

Yes Blake.

I thought it was two stock 6.0L chargers mounted on each head...If it was possible I would think you could have a pretty nasty setup. I could be wrong though.

My guess is that spool up wouldn't be so great with two stock chargers. Seems like you'd need a tighter exhaust housing to spool each one sense both heads aren't feeding the single stocker. Just my thoughts, I'm probably wrong.

Well what if you ran a decently sized injector with a bigger nozzle to help spool up?

Not unless you figured out a way to multiple the voltage of the VGT solenoid signal off the PCM to control each charger

Completely forgot about the Vgts. It would be cool to see, but would it really be worth all that work?

I don't think so. Even commanded closed, I think the exhaust side would still be too big.

How so?

it might be stupid but why not taking a supercharger to help the spool? just a thought

There is a car in diesel power that has a stock 6.0L with a stock turbo on each head.
Says its about 4-500 HP. (cant remember... I thought it was low)

Banks already has a supercharged only diesel.

Did you remember what he was running on the fuel side of things by chance?

ford Galaxy wagon? It wasnt stock turbos it was Porsche turbos I think. 50mm

but I dont think diesels really like parallel turbos. this is why everyone goes compounds and not twins.

I honestly think it was a completely stock 6.0L...just with two stock turbos.

You're thinking of the galxie they featured a while back. It had to 52mm turbos from a Porsche on it. Don't remember what injectors where in it, but you are correct he was right around 500.

sent from the shop making things fly.....

I agree in that sense but I think its pretty neat IMO
