Wow, the turbos are where the passenger's seat used to be, and the exhaust exits through the back door (yes, it's a 4 door maxima)

Hope his AC works well. He's gonna need it.

wow....

How did he convince himself that would be a good idea?

from watching fast and the furious.......i'll be he's going to cover them in plexi so he can watch them :D

LOL.....page 4 it catches on fire LOL

not really sure what he was doing that got fuel everywhere.....couldn't read the whole thing......:D

Fire is our friend, his "Frankencar" has burned up! Too bad!!

I read the part about the fire. Apparently he got a set of injectors for free that was supposed to keep the thing from running too lean. He put them in, but the car wouldn't turn over. He pull the plugs and turned the car over to discover that some of the injectors were stuck open and had hydrolocked the engine. When he turned the car over it looked like old faithful spraying jets of gas out of the spark plug holes. He turned it over again. The second time the spark plugs fired and set the engine on fire. Supposedly he got the fire out fast enough to not have roasted the thing.

Hilarious. . .

It amazes me how people can get so wrapped up in their own stupidity as to actually question the inevitable outcomes. . .

This is gonna' end badly.

Or to convince themselves, and try to convince others, that it is, in fact, a well thought out, well planned idea.

He's pretty convinced that he planned it out well.

What a dope. On the first page he says that he is getting 8 PSI. That is pathetic. Why even bother with a mess like that for a lousy 8PSI? I know of setups for bikes that end up much smaller and offer lots more boost than that.

I think we have a possible future winner of the Darwin award!!

I don't get it.

Twin KO3s, for 8psi?!? My Jetta used to have a single KO3, and it gave an easy 12psi. The vw diesel folks love them until you want 16+ PSI... they are quite small and start to get wheezy after that.

stupid kills but not nearly enough.

Is that the same turbo the gas Golf uses? My brother has had 2, both equipped with Split-Second boost controllers that allowed you to dial up boost to like 15lbs. Never had any problems...went like hell!

I bet that Diesel with 15/16lbs would be a lot of fun, too.

Besides the bling factor, can someone explain to me why he is using twin turbos?

I know the newer turbo'd gas Jetta & golf used a version of the Ko3, but I think it's a bit different.

I have no idea how he would benefit from using two identical turbos in parallel. I've seen setups with compound turbos, where a smaller turbo is "feeding" a larger one.

Here's a compound setup on a 1.9 vw diesel engine. It uses a Garret T3 and a Holsett hy35:

Compounding is the only way he can spin that monstrous Holsett... he got 37 PSI before he bent the crank. He's just rebuilt it, with a gridle along the main bearings to keep the block from twisting.

Oh wow, that kid needs to be locked away. Is this legal - surely there are laws against driving this sort of thing on the road.
