Twin turbo Ford GT anyone?

Pair of GT35R turbo's there, 850RWHP at 15psi on 93 octane, nice....

I'll try and get more info and video soon.

That must be mad!

Twin turbo's, but only one air intake filter ? How many exhaust tail pipes, I wonder.

Clarkey · 26 Apr 2006 at 15:00

quite, they are going to be putting race fuel in and pumping the boost up to 25psi, should be good for well in excess of 1000rwhp.
Quite who 'they' are though, I don't know. I do know that the video was hosted on torquenstein's website though, maybe this is the car he will drive the gumball in?

4, the 2 **** off 4" pipes, and the 2 screamer pipes which can be seen in the middle.

yes

the old whipple blower

on closer inspection it doesnt seem to have any screamer pipes, who knows what happens with the wastegates :confused:

Those two engines are completely different :confused:

Clarkey · 26 Apr 2006 at 15:45

gam3r · 26 Apr 2006 at 15:47

Sorry I didn't realise there were two. I would say the top one is standard engine? But why does it have those things that look like wastegates on it?

The top one isn't a standard Ford GT engine either. I'm not sure what's on it, but it isn't the original.

like I said, its a whipple supercharger. And I think those things are dump valves.

edit - actually no, I read wrong, I don't think it is a whipple, not sure what it is.

Stonedofmoo · 26 Apr 2006 at 16:10

How comes they didnt just uprate the supercharger?

I would imagine they vent into the exhaust outlet like most turbocharged fords..
