V-10 Turbo?
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 10-Jul-02 AT 11:46 AM (EST)]Has anyone ever tried a turbo charger on a V-10. Seems to do wonders for PSD's and sports cars, but I've not seen or heard of one even tried on the V-10. I would think the cost would be a lot less than a super charger.
Just a thought.

V-10 Turbo?
Same boat never heard of one. The problems as I see would be heat and lag. To get a turbo big enough for a V10 and to develope low end torque I would think you would have a ton of lag, remember the exahust velocity is much slower on a gas engine.

How are they used on other gas engines (Porsche, Audi, VW)? I know those are generally smaller, high reving engines, but this V-10 seems to rev pretty high as well. Also, ther are a few custom Corvettes that I've read about using them.

Smaller motors use less air, that means you can use a smaller turbo. The smaller turbo spools up faster, you could also go to a multi turbo setup like porsche but that is expensive and complex. To deleiver enough air to a V10 the turbo would have to be hugh and that means a slow spool up (turbo lag).
The V10 really falls on its face as revs build, it by no means is a rev motor. The 90deg bank angle means it is not hamonicaly balanced so trying to make it rev would not be a very good idea.

For WAY less than having someone make-up a turbo system you could buy and have installed the Kenne Bell WhippleCharger. It gives instant boost all the time, is most fuel efficient to run of all three types of blowers and they're darned nice people ta boot. www.#####

V-10 Turbo?
Im sure that if you contacted TDC (turbo driven concepts) that they could rig something up for ya. They have a kit out for the 4.6 mustangs. As far as lag time and what not, you can have different sized compressors and turbines in the turbo housing. It is possible to have low lag time and good boost. Then again most people think that low lag would be in the range of 2500-3000 rpm.... A supercharger (twin screw or roots type, not centrifugal) is instantaneous. A turbo setup would actually probably cost more though in the long run, given that its all custom and the demand isn't that high....
Just my 2 cents....

Yea why spend BIG $$$ on having a custom or semi-custom turbo set-up made when for $3,500 or so you can have a supercharger ? The twin screw type make constant horsepower, in an RPM range us truck drivers use. Who cares about boost @6,000 RPM ? I want it @1,500, when I smash the pedal to get out of a light with 7,000 pounds of trailer on the back. Or at 4,000 RPM when I'm climbing a 6% grade with 52 angry drivers behind me. Let's see; proven technology in a box, or hours and hours and many, many dollars of; "let's see if this works."
