What would it take to twin turbo my 3.6L engine?
There's a few obvious changes, but my guess is there's a lot more to it. Could any of the newer factory setups be adapted to fit my engine? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

Twin turbo might actually be easier on a 914/6 since there aren't any header (I know of ) that combine to a single pipe. So you could add a turbo onto the end of each header. Something like ottox914 did (build thread).
Plumb that directly to where you air cleaner sits now and then figure out the fuel injection situation. Something tunable would be my first thought, of course there are shops that seem to do amazing things with custom chips. I would love to see a header that turned up at the end of the engine, allowed the turbos to sit near the flywheel, and then continued (post turbo) over the axles and out the back. IMHO, plumbing is the easy part. FI is a tad harder.... |
