Im not asking about any engine impartiular just wondering how to set them up.

 

There are aftermarket kits available for almost every motor.

Compound turbos are set up in a way that one turbo feeds another. So that the piping would go

Intake -> Turbo -> Turbo -> Block

The exhaust is generally split between the two turbos. Either 1) by a Y-Pipe, or 2) by dividing the left and right exhaust ports to separate turbos.

 

Which turbo mounts to the exhaust manifold? Big one or little one.

 

If there is a size difference, the small one comes first. This is to "eliminate" (quotes because it just reduces) turbo lag. However you dont need to have a small and large, they can be the same size.

 

Ok cool thanks. That was where I was getting hung up on. I'm working on a project for an engineering class and it's on turbo design. Compounds are one of the points I was hitting during the paper

 

No prob.

 

Just don't go the Direct Exhaust Injection route.

 

LOL !!!!!!!!

 

I'm not a turbocharger expert, but that's the 1st time I've seen turbochargers set up like that.

So far, the most common setup I've seen is a smaller quick spooling turbo on the engine in the normal spot, normal plumbing, and instead of the exhaust going directly to under the truck, it drives a 2nd larger slower turbocharger, which pre- charges the air going into the smaller quick turbo.

I was looking at and researching this myself not long ago, much reading needs to get done sometime.

 

This is what I'm used to seeing.

What about parallel?

i.e. each bank feeding it's own turbo?

-blaine

 

Do you mean each bank of a v8 feeding a turbocharger, and both feeding fresh air into the intake?

Or each bank of a v8 feeding a turbocharger, and the intake air traveling through one first, then the 2nd?
