Re: 20V turbo question

A late model Ball Bearing Turbo should spool up down low ok. Matching the right one to provide boost over the entire rev range will probably be a compromise between that and outright top end power tho...
Take a look at last months Zoom - killer conversions. The front cover has a KE70 20V GT30 turbo pushing 250+rwkw. There's no dyno sheet tho.
certainly the 20V has pretty decent flow, but with headwork i dont see how a 16V bigport couldnt do much the same. Ask Bill Sherwood --> the force is with him
Twincharging is a great idea, if you can get it right. It's a complex control problem, and you certainly wouldnt be able to do it with a standard computer. As soon as i get one of my forced induction engines on the road, Twincharging will be my next goal --> uber top end power (big turbo) decent low down grunt from a decompressed motor (SC12/14 supercharger)
Honda had a mid 80s factory twin-charged thingo didnt they? someone else would know ... I dont have time for hondas ...
