SINGLE v TWINS-LOW-BUCK, 1000-HP TURBO TEST

[@orangetruckman]

So underrated!!! I keep trying to get people to subscribe and help out hero out! The more we support him, the more information we can be provided 🤗 I wish I could live near Richard, that way I could in any free time. Love this channel 😆

[@erok_]

This is literally the only video or document that has genuine data showing why twin turbo may be better. I see almost no one talking about back pressure. This channel literally answers the question of: Is SINGLE or TWIN TURBO better, and the answer is very situation based: More responsive single turbo can be better than less responsive twin turbos A single big turbo may be worse than twin of the same turbos at the same boost, for both longevity and power. A bigger but more responsive single turbo may provide outright more power everywhere and be more responsive everywhere than an incorrectly sized twin turbo. This channel is an absolute goldmine of information. Thank you for making these!

[@richardholdener1727]

twins and single come down to packaging

[@Eqium]

bigger hot side, single Turbo set up right is as good as twin, mine is a big 98mm T6 makes 1500hp pretty easy but my motor is build to handle more than that, I only push it when I'm after a number at the drags, another problem is where to put the other Turbo, my engine guy told me what to buy to achieve that which I did, my car is a Chevy SS in the USA on the street is just dumb running it that high can be dangerous also

[@austinma62]

Love the work you are doing. Very informative. Biggest thing I noticed from twin turbos vs the s480 was the back pressure. That s480 has a lot of back pressure on the high end. To me, seeing how much less back pressure the twins had is very appealing to me. I would think a setup of properly sized twins would last longer on a motor vs a bigger single turbo.

[@jasonquartermile425]

More backpressure really doesn't "hurt" anything as long as it's within reason, also a single will make more HP than twins at the same PSI because the extra turbine on twins takes an extra 20-30hp to drive.

If I was just looking to build a quick car it would be a 5.3 or 6 litre with a single turbo running the Holley Terminator so it would be easy tuning . Btw my truck still uses a high end blow CSU carb and drives mostly like a fuelie as nine years ago too many people were having problems with the Fast system as that was really the only high hp option st the time .

Quicker spool with twins

[@177SCmaro]

@@bill2178 If your single is sized correctly the difference in spool at a desired horsepower is negligible. That said, twins are often more forgiving and can be easier to package.

[@1flynlow]

wouldn't the best of both worlds be sequential?

[@177SCmaro]

@@1flynlow Yes but you're also compounding the heat unless you switch from one to the other. There is an easier but somewhat less effective solution to that, though. Get an little bit oversized divided scroll turbo and get one of those quick spool valves. www.suprastore.com/spquspva.html only problem is they're spendy but still cheaper then twins or sequential/compound.

[@blow0me]

I love so much about these videos. One cool feature is when your boost pressure is higher than your backpressure, your pumping loop (from the PV diagram) adds to the power rather than subtracting from it.

@@FredAllenBurge that depends if you are doing the fab yourself or paying someone to do it. The EFR saves money on fab work and on other parts, and probably most importantly is the tight package.

@Richard we often struggle with to restrictive turbine housing for some factory position turbo - Please test what is better maxing boost on small turbine housing or lower boost but more timing !

[@snoman003]

Thanks for all your research. What a time to be alive! In the 60' and 70's, if a backyard mech was getting "1 pony per cube", he had accomplished something. Now, motors like the LS/LT platform (5.3 ltr) are rated at 355 hp/ 390 torque and that is the baseline for the backyard mech to START with. With simple " bolt on parts", someone can easily double their HP / torque and have some fun. However, on the downside, I look at all my fav muscle cars now, knowing that a slightly tweaked factory truck could rip the doors off them and am sort of sad. What I wouldn't give to be 30 years younger, have the truck I have now and a bit more time.

Both my brother and I are running DNA turbos. My brother has 2 SBF engines each with a GT 45 turbo. I am running twin T04E T3/T4 Hybrid turbos on my SBC. They make power. Without pushing them, and we definitely could push more, but his 5.0L SBF with single GT 45 is making 745 HP / 670 TQ on only 13 PSI. My 384 Stroker SBC with twin T04E's are making 720 HP / 830 TQ on only 10 PSI. More importantly then these peak #'s are the power thru each of the complete powerbands look & are. Obviously there are many other variables in these builds, such as DART blocks, forged internals, cams, heads, EFI systems, tuning, & matching all the components correctly, etc etc etc etc. These are also barely broken in engines, & so before we push them more, & more they will make & handle, we continue to break in & tune. The point is, eBay turbos, DNA turbos make power! My overall advice is pay close attention & inspect your wastegates, Tial included! I am currently running two 44mm Tials, my brother DNA wastegates, with no issues, but have gone thru some of them, real Tials included that had poor quality control. I think most people truly misunderstand how Loosely the term usa-made is. What most don't understand is that while something that is usa-made is technically put together in the USA, but all the little parts were made in China before being shipped to the USA to be put together in the USA and then is so cold USA made. This is an absolute fact with many many top quality name brand products. Not to mention many of them in which are USA made can have horrible quality control themselves. Imagine spending $4,000 on a set of AFR heads, etc, that you find out many of the tolerances/clearances/ specs are out to lunch. But you wouldn't know or think to have to check these because you just spent $4,000 or so on buying brand name items such as AFR, Edelbrock, etc etc. After doing this for many many many years I have seen this all too many times. And by the time you catch the mistake the blame typically has been placed elsewhere and or there is nothing you can do, if you even find where the original problem stemmed from. This is why you go over all your equipment no matter where it is from. Interestingly enough, a similar situation applies to designer clothes. How many people really don't know that their real Gucci, Louis Vuitton, etc etc many times is made right along with the knock-offs right there in China or Taiwan or wherever. Not to mention not all knockoffs are made in China or Taiwan. Regardless the reason for this is because there is more money for companies in Outsourcing. Everybody screaming and yelling about keeping it in the USA, which I am totally for, I'm totally for the little mom-and-pop businesses, but the reality is that when you scream USA Made you are essentially backing corporate capitalism, because they charged astronomical prices for things that many times are not worth what they are charging. Don't get me wrong sometimes you definitely get for what you pay for, but most of the time it's absurd. It's also interesting that the same people have no problems with going to places like Home Depot, Walmart, excetera excetera which are big business which pushed out all the little businesses oh, and how do you think these big businesses do what they do? By Outsourcing. So you may want to think about that a little deeper before knocking things being made in China. Sure there was a time when most of the things came out of China were complete junk, and in many ways still is. But you see China/ Taiwan/ etc kind of got smart, they figured if they made some decent quality items, such as turbos Etc and offered it add a fraction of the normal USA cost, they could make a fortune, and if they continue to show reliability they could continue to make that fortune, kind of like they are now. Not to mention that these countries also have race scenes, and so we the people in their own countries are going to use these products, and so if they continue to make decent stuff they can Corner the world market , kind of like they are now. And this is showing up everywhere, from car parts, welders, plasma cutters, household items, etc etc etc, while big usa-made corporations want to charge an arm and a leg for stuff that most of the time is made in China anyways, and the the average American doesn't make the money to support all these absurd expenses being in the USA yeah, and so they get it elsewhere. Then go figure the stuff works great, and even if every once in awhile you get a piece of junk, even if you have to call it a loss so, you've already saved so much money from buying Outsource stuff and it's not even that big of a deal anymore. So you may have lost one thing but gets saved in so many others. And if you buy these Outsource things from reputable websites most of the time your money is safe anyways

[@madvtecyo546]

Holy crap that’s an amazing comparison

[@alafrosty]

Suggestion for a future turbo comparison video: Run dual turbos appropriately sized with varying plumbing configurations between the exhaust port and the turbo. I'm very interested in seeing how variations in the volume of air between the exhaust port and the turbo (call this hot mess "the exhaust manifold"), the length of the run between the exhaust port and the turbo inlet, and the manner in which exhaust gasses are pooled/collected ahead of the turbo inlet. From what I've studied of turbocharging, the efficiency of the turbocharger should increase inversely proportionally to both the volume of exhaust manifold and the length of the exhaust manifold. That said, I think that the location of the collector and manifold plumbing format is going to have an impact. Additionally, with the exhaust ports having a cross-sectional area of about 1.9 inches² a 1-5/8 diameter tube between the head and a collector into the manifold should minimize available exhaust expansion opportunity in the manifold and maximize turbo pressure development. I'm curious to know how a log manifold performs compared with this. How about stacking a turbo onto the end of a flipped stock exhaust manifold? And whether there's any advantage to creating equal-length exhaust port primary pipes between the head and the header, or more simply running a straight pipe between the port and the turbo collector? Should the exhaust run in one pipe leading up to the turbo inlet or would dumping the collector straight into the turbo inlet work fine? Is there an advantage to staggering the collectors, like 3x 2-into-1 or is a straight 4-into-1 better? Unradiused steps in exhaust pipe diameter create wave reflections and superpositions in the exhaust stream that can help to scavenge ports - are there advantages or disadvantages to including such a step at the head with a manifold that does not exactly match the port size/shape? Is there an advantage to including a large or small step in exhaust diameter immediately before the turbo inlet, or before the collector? Obviously, there's a step in the collector that's almost unavoidable. Similarly to steps, square wells that waves travel over also create wave reflections on both sides of the well. Can such annular wells be used in turbo applications as a means of positively smoothing the inlet gas pulses?

[@timothybayliss6680]

The only thing I wish you had was the Turbine a/r. That's why the single starts to choke at 700hp and 10psi. They work better at higher boost for a couple reasons: the compressor efficiency is higher with higher boost, there is higher manifold pressure relative to back pressure or drive pressure and it keeps the whole system under pressure. With a larger turbine housing they will do way better for bigger engines or higher airflow. There is nearly a direct inverse relationship between turbine ar and peak drive pressure. This was awesome man, thanks.

I thought of this a long time ago: Q. How much more power would an engine make if an electrically driven compressor was installed post exhaust turbine to not only eliminate back pressure..but create negative pressure to rapidly draw out combustion gases, just like air is forced into the intake side by the turbo. Create Negative pressure on the exhaust side!!! When electric turbos become viable. You’ll see power production off the charts since they’re driven electrically.No more exhaust back pressure ! Run a electric fan for boost Run a electric fan to evacuate on the exhaust side CRAZY POWER !

Don't those kinda hate boost? I've heard horror stories but I don't know how true that is

[@dustinpfalzgraf138]

Ehh, all engines hate boost when tuned poorly. Guys have been beating them to death for years. I would like to see a heads, cam and intake with the S480.

[@470whp-deathtrap]

Anthony Thomas I was talking about "junkyard" like the guy above originally said. The stock rotating assembly is what I was talking about, good parts can make any engine a beast unless it's an oldsmobile😂

[@ts302]

Another great video Richard! I have a few questions -how reliable are these turbos -do you have a link for these turbos -on a NA engine, a H-pipe improves HP. Would a H-pipe improve HP with the twin turbo setup -many moons ago, the theory was to breakup the vortex exhaust flow out of the turbo(s) by using a 90deg bend at the turbine outlet. Your setup used straight pipes, old wives tale-what say you Thank you.

[@aaronjames11]

What he said. Singles are easier to plumb and fit under a hood. If you gotta sand rail then twins all day 😎

[@ts302]

@@dj4monie I agree X is better than H pipe. However a H-pipe with Richard's setup is an easy install, and possibly a convenient location for wastegates.

[@ts302]

@@aaronjames11 I'm not convinced that a single, physically larger turbo and all the plumbing required to connect the two banks, is easier to fit than two smaller turbos hung off the exhaust manifolds/headers. Ultimately, IMHO, the reduced exhaust back pressure would trump and motivate me to engineer a way to fit a twin turbo setup. If auto manufacturers install/run twins on their V-engines, surely as hot rodders, we can do the same.

[@aaronjames11]

@@ts302 Alright if you got the room then do twins 🤘

[@Ugrasrava]

@@ts302 Damn right, but it does take more effort to get everything up and running properly most of the time. More shit means more shit to go wrong, and you need to gather up the budget for things like a second wastegate, a more complex exhaust system post-turbine, a specialised intercooler, etc. If you've got the time and skill, or the money, to invest in thoroughly engineering your set-up it's fantastic. If you don't, the single set up will get the job done with fewer points of failure and fewer opportunities to make a mistake and screw yourself. So I guess the real question is what do you value more, peak potential or easy gains?

This is one seriously fantastic video Richard! Thank you!! :)

[@lacboiatl]

You listened to the commentors about the graph being blocked by the pip of you. That's great.

[@camaromustangmods3327]

Great video. Googled Living the Dream. One result, Richard Holdener.

[@calvinevans8305]

Living and sharing the dream.

[@timothycooney986]

Thanks gor very informative content. Please consider boost testing 80's vintage Chrysler 4 cylinder motors (2.2, 2.5). Am curious about power potential.

[@David-eh8rl]

HMM I have a 2000 Chevy with the 454... Now I want to do this.

[@kingoftheplanet392]

Hey Richard. Are the gen 6 bbc coming with forged cranks or are you making that power with cast cranks. Either way. Im a gen 4 or mark 4 guy running roots style 671 stuff even with predators lol. But just curious about the stock lower end on those. Cast pistons?? Cast crank?? Forged rods im sure. I know they are all 4 bolt but not sure what the crank and pistons are. Thanks brotatoe. And keep up the killer videos. Im hooked. And now looking at twin turbos for my 73 pro street camaro.

I met Him in California back in 1994 with My best bud. Such a nice guy! He chatted with us with His friend James(Shop owner?) that had a Corvette that was Richard's.

[@notme810]

I think twins of size on anything. If you get a single to size the back pressure will bite you regardless of size or displacement. I think from watching this that sizing twins to spool well and keep the back pressure within a good relationship to the boost to avoid heating it up too much. The heat/ back pressure seem to stress the NA engine and cause a parasitic loss. Twins may cost more even if the system is intercooled, but that back pressure is added weight in the assembly. JMO

[@HoosierDaddy145]

Would love to see the twin GT45’s on a 6.0 with various junkyard heads

[@eagle50espress]

what was the AR on the twins???

[@slows102]

That torque curve is awsome!

[@jamiemuncy2219]

You hooked me two weeks ago when you had a 351 Windsor that you cut valve reliefs yourself with a die grinder but you made over a 1000 on a junkyard Windsor and dude that’s bad ass!! What is the actual size of those gt45 clones

[@deanstevenson6527]

jamie muncy : That was goood.

[@Monte1970SS]

This is why big blocks are used for the serious setups. When torque and hp are that close up that high, its hard to beat it. No small blocks carry torque like that.

[@davidvonanderseck8649]

Thanks for this video. I want to build a 454 gen 6 and I was thinking of boring it to 100. But I’m seeing save my money and keep stock parts. Put new bearings and rings. ARP head and main bolts. MLS gaskets. And twin turbos. I’m kinda thinking holly hp or blow through

[@veenieyourmom912]

I have a 1981 454 Big Block in a dually 2-wheel drive Chevy trucks with low gear and 3 forward gears 4 gears or if you include the granny gear I want maximum torck with some extra horsepower up top what do you recommend @ Richard Holdener

[@RoyBrown1794]

Sorry for all the paragraphs but I didn’t know who else to talk to lol your the best

[@pmd7771969]

I'm proud of you, rich Bloodviking

[@nimr0d375]

I wonder if these low cost turbo builds would work on newer DI stuff. Ie LT4....6th gen ZL1?

[@mirkolazar9250]

How long does them turbos last you get what you pay for buy once and be done especially if your gonna beat in them

[@mikestufano4961]

This is what I’m doing to my 2003 6.0 Ritchard.Twins on a budget!!

Just make a friend just south of the border. Unless you dont live close to the border. Saw canadians all the time in montana.

@Matt Miller could save on tax thats not paid.

[@MLFranklin]

Another fascinating video. I'm curious how we can predict these things beforehand by first looking at the turbomachinery compressor and turbine performance maps. I'm just thinking out loud if there is a way to explain that for a general audience.
