Re:Will this twin turbo set up work well

[quote author=Offshoreracer link=board=7;threadid=16452;start=45#156638 date=1057359606]<br>[quote author=Jetpilot link=board=7;threadid=16452;start=30#156213 date=1057260944]<br>I saw a B-1/B-2 twin setup at Muncie..... The HP output was a little shy of 700 HP. As I recall it was around 300 HP shy, the truck only made around 410 HP! The fellow running the setup was pretty disappointed in the #. Do some research there is a lot more to building a good set of twins then just bolting on a couple turbos.<br><br>Your correct but in all fairness did anyone even ask as to why that happened. No not one person. And I was not dissapointed I had a set of pulling injectors in that you could pee thru. The turbos never lit all smoke and then rpmed out. I immediately swapped out injectors to re-dyno but as we all know the dyno broke. Testing is being done and was all along concerning Drive pressures, intake charge temps, boost levels ect. and all the data so far is excellent. This is and will be a good set-up, as are yours, let us get things dialed in with some testing and tuning. Fred[/quote]<br>[/quote]<br> I was wondering if I was ever going to hear&gt;&gt; &quot;the rest of that story&quot;<br> Thanks Fred...<br>

Re:Will this twin turbo set up work well

Alpineram,

Got anymore information of those turbo setups. That sounds like a very interesting setup. The benefit of having 2 turbos without the increased heat caused by compounding.

I would like to see the wastegate and diverter valves.

Re:Will this twin turbo set up work well

[quote author=cabrokr link=board=7;threadid=16452;start=45#156535 date=1057342096] <br>There is a Ford owner who has transplanted a 12V CTD into his truck, runs B1/B2 twins and has dynoed around 800rwhp on #2. I've only seen the post, not familiar with the B1's housings or how quickly it spools.<br>Choose the setup that's right for you and your application. Twins can be as different as singles depending on what you will use them for.<br>[/quote]<br><br>I do have the B-1 but the big turbo is not a B-2, I think it is referred to as the BIG Brother. It is much larger than the HT3B or B2.

StakeMan: I got some info on this stuff but will have to ask about publishing actual data and stuff like that- could be proprietary info of my former employer. <br><br>AlpineRAM

Re:Will this twin turbo set up work well

Just as a point of interest, I picked up a HT3B in the local scrap yard today. It will need new bearings, but I bought it for scrap iron price. If you have such places, a little rummaging around might pay off!

Re:Will this twin turbo set up work well

It broke a camshaft.. a few folks think it was a little sick due to that.<br><br>I know I made 40-42psi on the dyno.. 50psi in the parking lot doing a burnout.<br><br>I normally peg a 60# gauge in 2nd or 3rd gear. It was making more than 400 by a long shot but not the 600+ we had seen earlier in the year.<br><br>
