Why 3 turbos?

[QUOTE=Koenigsegg;37498880]Why 3 turbos?[/QUOTE]
I didn't watch the video so I'm just assuming, 6 cylinders, 1 turbo per pair. More efficient way of spooling the comressor for boost.
*shrug* like I said I didn't watch it, when I catch a break here between work and work I'll check it out.

I see that my students have learned.
going now I should be
Got my sticker.
Now to find a shop around here that'll do my alignment (my buddy says the shop he works at can't for some reason, it's a painfully simple alignment so i don't know wtf the deal is). I'd do it myself but i really just don't feel like getting into all that shit especially when a professional shop will get a much better alignment than me doing some ghetto at-home alignment.
Gonna probably spend some money on stuff, too. I don't know what yet but now that I have the sticker i want to put some more money into the car, specifically the engine more than anything. Should probably put more effort into tracking down my little tranny leak, too. Last thing I need is to blow up a tranny and have to spend $500+ dollars fixing/replacing that.
for some reason my accord just got alot more responsive. RPM's sheer by and if i push the pedal down anymore then a tap my engine is going ZOOMZOOM

@Bradley ;
I used my whole ported/machined blower out of my other motor on this one, so the modular pulley system with the SS offset pulley stayed on, still running a one belt set up, need to get a few tensioners to run it 2 belts, but so far, no slip, no KR. I'm being very light on the throttle so far, hope that it's indeed as good as it seems to be working.
Vacuum is at 19.9 on idle, goes down on throttle, but that's normal, once it reaches 0, boost goes in, yay supercharger.

slightly low vacuum (19.9) what is your elevation?
but good to hear that it is running!! I Hope this engine won't RK

My mech told normally the vac stays at 15-18 for these engine, told me it was higher than normal so it was sitting in a perfect. We both were surprised to see how well it ran for an engine that had sat for a long while, started on the first crank, no surge in idle, no vacuum leak, no oil leak, no coolant leak.
Hopefully it'll last.
why is it almost impossible to find a firebird that's not automatic on craigslist
That being said, I'm thinking of getting myself something like a trans am or 'stang gt 5.0- what should I know about them? Probably from somewhere in the 93-98 range.
I've heard various things about both cars- I've heard Firebirds are hideously unreliable, I've heard Mustangs are hideously unreliable, I've heard TAs are quick and stangs are 5.slow.
I've always loved Mustangs but I like Firebirds too- the only thing I will not buy is a Camaro because I think they're incredibly ugly. I wouldn't be averse to an MR2 either, because poor man's Lotus.
Any advice?
Older camaro is kinda cool in beiege acutally, One drove by me and was in beige but had this trim around the front bumper hole for air and was extremely clean
[QUOTE=bradley;37498266]Have you got ARP studs or factory bolts? I'd go with ARPs, I run them on all my boosted motors (and I had them on one N/A motor but that's kind of overkill for N/A... nothing wrong with that).
Also the 255 kit they have is pretty cheap, if you're looking to upgrade fuel system that's a good pump kit. They have a nice [url=http://www.frsport.com/Nismo-13020-40F00R4-Camshaft-KA24E-SOHC_p_18262.html]Nismo cam[/url] for the KA24E but it's pretty steep, a regrind would be cheaper... But it also wouldn't be a nismo cam. That and a nice dress-up fuel rail would be pretty cool.
Can't really think of what else. There's a ton you COULD get, but it's a lot of money.[/QUOTE]
Isn't it redundant/detrimental to run a high fuel pump on an N/A with stock everything? It's not like I run forced or have huge injectors or FPR?
I wouldn't say redundant, it's a great pump, more reliable than stock IMO. And if you step anything up later (forced induction, fuel injectors, anything fuel system related) you're ready for it. I wouldn't run any boost without one, though. That's for sure.
Bradley, Could I have ITBs [B]AND[/B] a supercharger? Maybe if I used a remote supercharger?

What's a remote supercharger?
[QUOTE=Del91;37503621]What's a remote supercharger?[/QUOTE]
Im not sure yet, but i searched it and people seem to have done it,
Maybe when I have a lot of information on it i can explain better.
I also changed the pictures to give you guys a better idea.
Here, something like this :

have a picture too!
Basicly, you relocate the supercharger to somewhere else in the engine bay, then use pipes to make it work like the turbo style intake while keeping the NA exaust manifold!
This should work great because now I can have FI, the AE111 ITB system, and this beautiful Martelius manifold! Looks like I have the answer to my question. And of course with FI I wont be able to keep the rpms as high as I wanted before, Now it should be around 7500 or maybe 8500 but that would be pushing it a little.

[QUOTE=Del91;37503621]What's a remote supercharger?[/QUOTE]
Supposedly a joke.
That seems like you'd just end up spending more money than just bolting that bitch on top. I can't imagine it working quite as well either. I'm sure you could still have, I'm assuming you mean Independent Throttlebodies, you'd just have to fab up an Intake to fit the supercharger on top of them. Someone else with a little more experience could clarify that I'm sure.

Yeah, I'd like some sort of FI so I was just examining my options.

Well, technically, it's doable. Unfortunately, it'll look [i]really[/i] stupid. ITBs are quite useless for a forced induction setup, the compressed system doesn't gain much by opening up all four ports to the boost, since it's already under boost anyways. But it would work.
Also, remote supercharging has been around for a very long time. One of the most well known uses of it, if I recall correctly, was in the old Shelby GT500s that had Paxton Superchargers fitted to them. Speaking of such, a Paxton-style is the way to go for remote charging. Roots just takes so much space it seems.
All in all, turbocharging is the way to go. It's the cheaper of the two (when done on budget) and can provide more power. With a supercharger, there is a draw on the engine, in great number, trying to compress the air. So it takes power to make power. With a turbocharger, you spin it up with the waste from the engine, and more backpressure before the turbine means more spool, backpressure which you'd already have (and waste) with N/A. It does put a ~slight~ strain on the engine, but it is [i]immensely[/i] less so than that of a supercharger.
Supercharger whine is pretty cool though. But so is turbo whistle. In a... different kind of way though. You can't compare the sounds they make, you just have to experience them.
I've been looking at bunches of second gen chargers lately trying to find one for a good deal thats not already sold, and I was pondering the idea of a turbo 383 for street uses. Imo it'd be interesting, or I was talking with Valon Kyre about putting a 426 max wedge in a second gen charger with a long ram intake( [url]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2423/3669782518_f13c3243c7_o.jpg[/url] ), either way the car would be making a fuckton of power and would be loadsafun, since the charger I'm looking at right now is a 4 speed. What would you guys reccommend, a turbo 383(Would probably make like 450-500hp depending on the boost + somewhat better gas mileage) or a built up 426 max wedge with that cool ass intake making like 460ish or more hp?
e: another image of the 413 long ram intake because its so cool.(fits on the 426 max wedge too)

Turbo 383, because at some point you're gonna want more power. That way, you either turn up the boost, or go with a bigger turbo. With the 426, you'll have to rev the shit out of it to make the power a Turbo 383 could make you.
all comes down to cost though, turbo 383 is the way to go but a long ram intake is pretty cool and easy alternative
Manager today told me that next week i'll start training for under the hood stuff, so now ill actually be doing stuff in the bay instead of vacuuming people's filthy-ass cars
He wouldn't be revving the shit out of a 426, I can guarantee that.
Turbo 383 is plenty. If you can't make ~800hp out of a GOOD solid bottom end on a big block dodge with a big ol' turbo, you aren't doing something right. The turbo 383 will trounce the 426 in power and economy.
As if economy is even going to matter, though. A big block dodge drinks gas faster than you can put it in :P
