VGT turbos

[TiberiusTribun]

the VTG's used by Porsche are specially designed for them by BorgWarner. They use Titanium to withstand the heat of gasoline engine exhausts. As far as I know there's no other car manufacturer out there that uses VTG Turbos on a gasoline engine.
I bet those are expensive like hell.

about 5k a pop. trust me.

You're right about the Porsche story, they are the only manifacturer that uses those turbo's.

The whole idea behind them is that they can have both the big and small turbo geometry in one turbo because of the titanium fins in it used to direct the air. A big plus is that when using these turbo's correct, you don't need a waste gate.

I think this isn't a viable idea for the 3S cars, even for any car unless the whole engine and computer is adapted or designed aroung those turbo's. They run at alot more than $5K a pop

[inperfectdarkness]

for just the turbo's? no. the turbo's were 5k last time i checked. the electonics to may them work may cost more...but just the turbo runs 5k.

Probably different pricing over here in Europe Just like all the 3S parts.

If you would try to make it work, its definately going to be expensive.

Read the info on the varable inlet nozzle stuff too. That is really cool, I did not know that you could add it to any turbo. I'd really like to see that with the varible pitch vanes they use in these areochargers.

I believe the Ford diesel trucks use the nozzles and I know that the Chevy trucks use the vanes. It makes me want to put an exhaust gas cooler on my car so that I can use the vanes. Sounds goofy though doesn't it?
