NOTE: v-band downpipe flanges.
what’s to get?
twin turbo to what looks like dual air-water intercoolers…side feed to the IM on top
look closer to the exhaust manifold/downpipe setup.
THINK: V8.
Yeah, I’m not sure what to explain. Maybe I’m missing something.
header/turbo/ic/intake?
red boxes are for air filters… openings below them are for ram air. black hose/pipe in front is for IC.
Not sure what you’re asking?
I think I see what you’re asking about… the rear-most cylinders exhaust tube seems to come in at the back of the turbo instead… not sure what’s going on there…
ding ding.
The only explanation is to reduce backpressure… but… why?
Reverse rotation turbocharger on right side
Both are set up to run off only 3 cylinders to reduce issues from excessive exhaust pressure.
The turbines they chose were small so that is the reason for running only 3 out of the 4.
And the engine is out of a ML 63 and not a CL 63
are you talking about the runner on the rearmost cylinder?
i think that’s just how they had to design the manifold to fit in the engine bay…if they had made it a longer, more equal length runner, they prolly would’ve had interference along the frame or with some other piece of equipment.
i dont think they are “only using 3 out of 4 cylinders” on each bank…that’d be retarded and such a waste. the runner is probably just really short and feeds basically directly into the turbine housing. think like a log manifold…something like the 2 middle runners
i’ve never seen a 1 piece cast comination turbine housing/exhaust mani before tho that’s pretty cool (but GOTTA be sooo expensive to fix lol)
i kinda think you’re wrong
to back myself up
To avoid negative effects on the system from excessive exhaust-gas pressures the manifolds are designed to utilize the exhaust from only three of the four cylinders on each side of the engine V for driving the turbochargers.
wow, i can understand using a smaller turbo for more low range tq and all that crap but WHY would you do that haha…such a waste of 2 cylinders.
“Excessive exhaust pressures” :gay2: might as well have just used a blower
i guess when its 6.3L and using tiny turbo’s you don’t need all 8 cyls to run em efficiently.
probably because they don’t want the general public getting there hands on 800+ hp…
Ugh. Would be a pain to tune that thing.
def need separate EGTs on a bunch of cylinders and cylinder based timing maps.
yeah, that would seriously suck.
and as for the 1-piece exh housing and manifold… all the new VW’s have that shit too, and it fucking sucks ass-mar.
what’s wrong w/ 800+ haha
they’re certainly paying enough
