wonder if it's set up as a compound turbo... i do want one though...

turbo edit...
looks like both compressors feed the same outlet scroll.

Ford finally gets a decent IH motor and then they decide to build their own. I wonder how many components require the cab off.

i just don't get ford, looking at the cummins then the ford. i don't even want to know the replacment cost on the turbo, or how damn complicated it looks. the cummins is super simple.

I understand that emissions has got very strict or something. but shit that looks over the top.

i give it props for the log manifolds, but Ford=fail.

how would you go about setting that turbo up on a honda 4 cylinder just out of curiousity?

Put it on the exhaust manifold

i'd start by ramming your head back up your ass where it belongs

Awesome!

Non-intercooled cluster fuck.

That out to turn out to be an interesting failure.

Although ford does seem to be doing a few things right now a days...

zestyskater69 · « **Reply #9 on:** October 20, 2009, 05:15:13 PM »

obviously to the exhaust manifold..just wondering about the upper and lower outlets on the turbo and how you'd plumb the piping.

This is very cool stuff, but I need fords to keep failing to keep my shop busy, so botch it ford, just like you usually do.

Its most likely going to be intercooled... $:-\$

t_cel_t · « **Reply #12 on:** October 20, 2009, 10:08:01 PM »

yeah is there anything not intercooled nowadays? except maybe gen-sets

Guess I interpreted the pictures too literally.

that turbo looks fucking boss

Aero · « **Reply #16 on:** October 25, 2009, 11:34:57 AM »

I'd be interested in playing with one of those turbos. I bet they are an arm leg and firstborn though.

I didn't realize the powerjoke turbo wasn't separate compounds instead of on the same shaft. Same setup as one of the old jet engines I got to take apart in school. Had back to back compressor wheels, but they weren't piped in compound configuration.

HiProfile · « **Reply #17 on:** October 28, 2009, 07:28:05 PM »

I saw a Dodge with a sticker once, "I'd rather be CUMMING than STROKING".

That looks rediculous. The only reason I could imagine that setup is to use a higher shaft speed for the same CFM's. That means they're probably using it as an aide to VGT, for boost control. Feed the same low amount of gasses to a high-rpm compressor, and it flows less air. Maybe that helps reduce egt's.

But hell if I know. Modern cars are becoming more complex and less reliable. All for an extra fucking mile per gallon. How many gallons does it take to tow a big truck 100 miles?

dvst8r · « **Reply #18 on:** October 28, 2009, 09:12:00 PM »

Fuck miles to the gallon, it is just to meet EPA.

Buy a Ford drop a Cummins in. End of story and all problems with fords motors

Conceptz-X · « **Reply #20 on:** November 16, 2009, 09:31:10 PM »

Am I seeing the turbo right, dual inlets? one on the normal orientation, the other from the shaft side?

interesting none the less. Actually Ford has been doing quite a bit right lately. Hopefully this has been in development for some time and not a drawing board disaster

two compressor housings with a shared backing plate its a very nifty invention just wait for it to go out of balance and grenade after 5000 miles.

Better buy up the extended warranty!

mrgreengenes · « **Reply #22 on:** November 23, 2009, 07:19:14 PM »

looks like you might be able to put a lot of boost through it and have little to no thrust loads. at least on the compressor end of things.
