If you can do it with 4.. you can do it with 6. Put one turbo rigged as a centrifugal SC in series with each bank for dual bank turbocompound setup.

TEH BOOST!

teh boost..

Thoughts?

One guy also said on another forum:
MSD's digital window switch is a thing of beauty and a great safeguard. Tags into the tach feed for RPM, you can mount it in the console and access it thru the ashtray hole to adjust it. Dont buy the cheapo Summit brand window switch cuz its a pile of junk. Just tag the white tach feed wire under the glovebox door where its easy to get to and not only do you have a badass blinky display to impress all your friends but also perfect on-off nitrous activation. Always set it a few hundred RPM's lower than your rev limiter cuz these things use fuel cut for a limiter. Bad idea to have the NOS squeezing past the limiter. Lean=boom.

First, is that the setup you want? If you aren't sure, let me know and I'll give you a rundown on the differences of different setups. Second, are you asking about running a window switch? I see you added in a bunch of stuff someone else had said and it threw me off of if it was a question or not.

WOW! I know who to ask about doing a turbo build (if this was "the fast and furious"). The pic you posted was of a RB26 which is Skyline GTR motor with a twin setup (I know quite a bit about these cause I was stationed in Japan and owned a R32 GTR) , how does it apply to a 6 cylinder with 6 turbos or even a turbo compound setup? And what 4 cylinder have you seen with a 4 turbo compound setup? I have heard of 4 cylinder compound setups, but never heard of a 4cyl 4turbo compound setup, but maybe I'm out of the loop... so could you please show me.

Yea i think that would be one Id want to get plus the window switch

The window switch is a must as far as safety goes. You also should get a fuel pressure safety switch so if your fuel pressure drops below a safe range while spraying nitrous, the safety switch will shut the nitrous off to keep from running the engine too lean.

Any links to something like that?

Yeah, according to the forum I snagged that from it was a pet project of a guy with an R34 or something of that sort. That thing tied two turbos into each bank of 3 cylinders thus 1 turbo for 1.5 cylinders. So if you could just shoehorn another two in and tie them.. Haven't seen a 6 for 6 setup though but its theoretically possible if you've got the room for the plumbing.

Now by turbocompound I looked at larger diesel and even a VW prototype that used what amounted to a quad turbo setup on a 4cyl (common twin turbo setup with another turbo/supercharger upstream of the air inlet for the primary turbo). A 6 Cyl wouldn't look much different than that Skyline motor but instead of the two turbos tying into the left and right side of the intercooler respectively they'd also be tied into a pair of belt driven superchargers driven off the engine.

Granted at that point the load on the engine itself would almost negate the gains but it'd look cool..

If you just type in "fuel pressure safety switch" into a search, quite a few will come up. Or you can look under the Nitrous accessories on your selected Nitrous dealer or performance places like TSP and they will have them. They normally run around $40-80. Also remember that you will want other safety items like a bottle heater or blowdowns. I always see it as the more safety items the better.

I was just trying to let you know Zabo, the Skyline motor had nothing to do with compound setups. The setup is a twin turbo setup and the pipes are scavenged correctly to help with spooling, but it is still considered a twin setup. A compound setup doesn't have to be a turbo and a centrifugal SC but can be 2 turbos (1 small and 1 big for high pressure and low pressure). The whole purpose is to have the effect of both a small turbo and a large turbo but no downdraw and they are not split doing half the load. A compound setup has the turbos feed off each other having the small turbo provide boost until the large turbo provides pressure to the small turbo. This is what a compound setup should look like
