CAS Project X???

[IronEagle119]

does anyone have any information on this, I'm very interested in this becasue i have 2 stock turbo's and that would save alot of money compared to changing to a larger turbo, maybe. Anyone have any information regarding this, I'm curious what would need to be done etc.

IMHO, project-x is verging on an urban legend. I have been hearing about this for at least 2 years. It's always just about to be released and then.................? Not trying to trash anybody, as I would really like to see it happen, but I suspect it is technically challenging and very expensive R&D holding it back. Keep the faith.

I was just at tony's shop today....

As everyone know's he has alot going. Last I heard the driver side turbo was causing heat problems. He has a LS1 twin turbo kit running (LT1 soon) with no problems.

I don't think we'll see anything really soon on the project X front.

IronEagle, project X is for all out performance. The headers are probably not going to be cheap and you will need piping to route into a front mount. That front mount set up has to have 2 inlets, and 1 outlet, which tony has.

So if your goals are 9's,8's,7's or 6's, then talk to tony. But for anything short of that just go to one turbo.

Spoolin, not so sure about that. I was under the impression that project-x was to be very street friendly and a bolt-on alternative to the traditional recipes that would easily get into the 12's or 11's with maybe injectors but not much else.

Project X is for stock block applications, so 9's and under are gone, well maybe high 9's. I would think the advantage over 1 large turbo would be spool up characteristics.

This is what I have always been told...but...if the exhaust is cut in half, flow wise, for each turbo, why would they spool faster...or, why would a stock turbo spool as quickly as it did with twice the flow going past it. Am I missing something in this equation?

I think it has something to do with the lack of a crossover and little or no up pipe. A very short very direct route from the exhaust valve to the turbo, with little loss of heat or velocity.

 

[Steve Wood]

That may be it..any prevention of heat loss must help.

I think turbocharger effeciency ranges might come into play as well. We hotair guys are stuck with turbos that start running out of air at 20 pounds. With two stockers we would be able to run 30 pounds plus considering compressor effeciency only.

Years ago, Harry Hruska swore there was no spool up difference. Its my understanding that the benefit is from two turbochargers working less to produce the same amount of airflow allows the turbos to not work as hard, and thus...less heat generated by each turbo (i.e. a cooler, denser charge from each turbo).

FWIW...

That's a very good point. I wonder if it could be one or the other, or a combo of both. Wouldn't a cooler denser charge help in spoolup??

Is there anyone out there running a stock block TT? I know i saw at least three people try to make a kit.
