That entirely depends on how big the engine is and the size of vehicle surrounding it...I suspect that if I drove a city bus with a 1L engine @ 45 psi I would die from blunt force trauma :P

Re: Borg Warner R2S Image Repo Thread

Tell that to BMW and Ford who have millions of these setups driving around on the streets :-) Also, being hit by brick walls of boost sounds horrible and life-threatening, I'd rather have just the right amount. Say 10psi or 20psi from 2k to 10k - 20psi is compound ground, just, 10psi isn't. Fred. W...

Re: Borg Warner R2S Image Repo Thread

Yes, I think most people on this site can read a turbo compressor map just fine... I think most people on this site would also rather that they were in the upper right at peak RPM/Boost. If not, you've got something laggier than need be. Which is the entire point of the above design. Minimal sized ...

Re: Borg Warner R2S Image Repo Thread

Yes, you've understood from what I wrote that I don't understand what you've now written. That was a false assumption. What you've written is all true, but in no way negates what I said. Except the part about positive work from the small turbo once the turbine is bypassed, which I'd argue meant you...

Re: Borg Warner R2S Image Repo Thread

I'll add a second post so I don't keep editing the first... Turbo maps are always shown in lbs/min vs pressure ratio, but in actual fact this is only true when the compressor inlet is at standard temperature and pressure. So at first glance, you would think "hey, if I shove twice as much air th...

Re: Borg Warner R2S Image Repo Thread

You would think that the smaller turbine is a restriction and will be overspun, but in actual fact (1) it still performs some work as the wastgate does not divert 100% of exhaust gasses around it, and (2) the volume flow of fresh air through it is pre-compressed and as such the actual velocity of th...

Re: Borg Warner R2S Image Repo Thread

The check valve setup adds unneeded complexity in a compound turbo setup. If they just had the larger compressor feeding the inlet of the smaller compressor it would work just fine. There is no need to bypass the smaller compressor effectiveness-wise. The advantage to the check valve I suppose could...
