The Flying Kiwi (another build thread)

Ah, so it would be quite close to perfect if you ran the 9B's at waste gate boost and the boost controller just on the T04.

I don't think it'll work like that without enlarging the wastegate hole, but it might. The compressor size actually has little to do with how well the turbos interact with each other. Having the other turbo will increase the deltaP across the turbine of the 9b's, which would require even more gating than stock. The mechanics behind it are mind boggling complex. In my diesel forums guys who have been building compound setups for years will tell you they learn something new everyday, lol. Case in point: If you lower the boost of the 9b's, you'll end up having to mess with the gate on the T04 because it will be receiving higher thermal energy now that it's bypassing the 9b's, and they play off each other constantly so finding the sweet spot can sometimes end up to be a chore on some setups.

Looked it up, total boost is the product of the absolute pressure ratios of each stage, then converted back to gauge pressure. Example: Say a symmetrical PR, each stage of 2.25, so each turbo thinks it's boosting ~18 psig, final manifold pressure will be a hair under 60 psig.

When you add in intercooling, especially interstage, then it starts getting nuts in the mass airflow front.

looks really interesting

Quick update time

Not much happening lately since I've been working to get the silver one going. Anyway, today seemed like a good time to put the new rotors and pads in, as well as size up the new oil cooler...looks like thats going to be another little mission


It'll fit in there, will need to cut/move the mounting tabs and run some ducting to the front bumper. Got a 2.5 gen bumper to go on yet so I'll leave the current oil cooler for now.


All going well, I'll plumb in the waste gates and start doing some runs next week. Stay tuned for vids

thanks man! That pic is actually from a couple of years ago, the panelbeaters at the time put a 1st gen rear bumper on after I got rear ended and insisted it was the right bumper for the car.....and TBH I'm starting to miss the wheels being that colour, I might go back. But black on red is too cool :P

Holy hell! you are an animal!

I liked the wheels better non black BTW

Very very cool mate.

Not sure how it could have been fun to drive. Looks like it was all spool without the rewards of ass planted firmly into the back of the seat.

Man glad I came across this thread, I like your idea to triple-charge should be pretty awesome!
Good luck with the build!
