Tacoboy 0 Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 If the Toyota V6 in the Exige had the Supercharger removed and a twin turbo system installed in it's place. And I would assume the twin turbo would make more horse power then the supercharger does. What kind of horse power could the a turbo Toyota V6 engine make (in theory)?

TBD 781 Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 Wrong question. The questions to ask are: If the gearbox blows up it I get more than 500hp why should I try? If the pistons burn through at 500hp, why should I turbo the engine? If I turbo the Exige, where can I put the turbos? If the turbo kicks in mid corner how do I avoid spinning out? 1 Quote If you have the choice between a Stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell don't forget the Nomex®! Captain, Lotus Airways.

If you're embarking on a project of this scale you should just change to the sequential gearbox 9 minutes ago, TBD said: If the pistons burn through at 500hp, why should I turbo the engine? Same as above, change the pistons/con rods/whatever other internals 9 minutes ago, TBD said: If I turbo the Exige, where can I put the turbos? There would be some space released by the supercharger 10 minutes ago, TBD said: If the turbo kicks in mid corner how do I avoid spinning out? Long gone are the days of "kicking" turbos - it is not a problem at all to have a smooth and manageable power delivery 4 hours ago, Tacoboy said: What kind of horse power could the a turbo Toyota V6 engine make (in theory)? It's been done many times in Toyotas and Lexuses. In theory without being to aggressive 600-700hp should not be a problem at all from 3.5L engine. It would need to be cooled efficiently and it would be a big project (think dozens of kUSD). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Francescopol 3 Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 I honestly with 400 I'm happy .... road car obviously ... I would opt for a water cooling Quote Link to post Share on other sites
