We were putting compound turbos on cummins KT series at our Mack Trucks engineering lab back in 1980 Funny how things come full circle years later

You guys are awesome make the best videos I'm a big fan of y'all would love to have y'all build my dream truck

awesome kit and the vid shows just how easy it is to do, everything's been well thought out and it all fits really well. the locking nuts are cheap insurance, I've had stock ones loosen up and it its a pain to tighten , I'm glad I went with it I have the same kit on my truck, actually the first engine in the vid is mine, Its a little more than what's in this vid but same idea, they made me a similar kit but with there PDD priority Garrett 62 over a 476 sxe, everything fits like a glove and I haven't had one problem . great bunch of guys to deal with and always available to help. Oh and the clamps, hoses they use are the best I've ever used . if your looking for one of the best designed easiest to install twin kit look no further than PDD. Customer service is second to none.

Hi guys. Love the videos. Super informative! I work as a helicopter mechanic and I deal with a lot of V Band clamps. It’s common practice in the industry to tap around the clamp once you have torqued it to seat the clamp and than retorque it again. And repeat as needed until the clamp is snug. If you don’t the clamp can loosen up over time. I’ve had it happen to me. I’m just curious why you don’t see more of that in the automotive world? Keep up the good work!

Have you installed one of these kits in a Fummins? Thinking of running a compound set on my 12 valve Excursion. I was mostly wondering if the kit would fit, the clearances are a little different on the Ford body. Also the adapter I used kept the 6.0 diesel starter and the starter is on the passenger side unlike the stock 12valve starter position.

Awesome Boyz 👌👊

Cool video tho guys. Thank you.

I want to swap a 12v in my 77 f250. I would like to use it as a daily driver and cross country towing to my race car. From watching the video you guys did with Finnegan, you guy mentioned o-ringing the block. I have heard that you shouldn't o-ring a daily driver. Will this kit still work safely without o-ringing the head or block? If not, what kind of kit could I use that will give me lots of low-end torque in a reliable daily driver?

Pre- lube the turbo cartridges with clean engine oil at the oil inlets!!! Especially after having pulled the pan and filters. Not doing so causes a dry run on your bearings inside the turbo and at the speeds these things run just a a second or two will damage the bearings and reduce the life of the turbo? It only takes a few seconds with an oil can and will save you possibly thousands in failures. Most manufacturers in fact send literature with their parts stating this fact. I wish you had put this very important step in the video. Otherwise you did a good job!

If the inside allows the gas to expand, it cools down, however since you are pushing through the turbo, you won't have a lot of cooling. Whatever the cross section of the heads ports are, stay close. That way you don't loose heat or velocity. After turbo, go BIG. Log manifolds will hold the heat and that heat is what makes turbos work. Tubes look cool but expand and break eventually. They also don't retain heat as well, which can reduce turbo efficiency. Unless you wrap the, ad wrap has a limited life expectancy, so you would need to replace it when it wears out. I was watching this video and thinking what's with the welded tube between the turbos? Yes it's insulated but still thin metal. Also even though the install looks good, there is a fair amount of space between the twins that other suppliers close up on.

Your torque wrench should also be set higher if you’re using extensions. The exact amount depends on the length of the extension. There’s a formula for it if you want to be exact, but I usually just go an extra 5ft-lbs if you’re using a 6in extension.

@@Parents_of_Twins the smaller turbo doesn't have the expansion volume to pull all the energy out of the exhaust. Jet engines start big and get smaller as the compressor goes, and then the turbines start small and get bigger. Same thing on multiple expansion steam engines, highest pressure in the smallest cylinder, which exhausts into the next larger cylinder.

Have you ever deal with Mechanical Cummins L10?

Was that Sami Zane tightening that turbo

Real honest question here. Between atmosphere and primary compressors, why does the pipe not match the inlet sizes more closely

If you dont have a heat exchanger between the 2 turbos, your air temps are going to be massive. Thats why 2 stage blowers on aircraft engines like the Merlin had an inbetween heat exchanger that improved efficiency dramatically.

Even tho I'm pretty knowledgeable with engines ect. But no personal experience When comes to diesels and turbos, something I don't understand is with compound turbos how the larger turbo can move its rated amount of air when it goes thru a smaller turbo...? Im under the impression the smaller one is to reduce lag caused by a large turbo but being plumed inline I don't get how it flows to its full potential with the bottle neck of the small one in front. To me it seems like bolting a 300cfm 2 barrel carb into of a 800cfm 4 barrel to keep fuel flow good at low vacuum.... Unless the big turbo can pull more air thru the littles rated for via a huge amount of vacuum. It works so it's obviously my ignorance on the subject, hopefully my question seems legitimate not foolish.

@consaka1

5 жыл бұрын

The answer is that the air is compressed. The big turbo compresses the air into the little turbo which takes the denser air and compresses it some more. Now that air can easily be hitting 400 degrees and needs cooled as much as possible before the piston compresses it again. The high density air should help keep the small turbo from over speeding? but kinda guessing there since I never really took a class on this topic. Seems to make a little sense to me. What I would like to know is what the air pressure is for each turbo and the ratio or pressures of each at various rpms under a set load. I don't like to guess but it is a mystery that needs solved. I am going to assume that the big turbo probably comes in a little later at the higher loads and rpm. Thus I guess the ratio wouldn't be one to one but variable. One to one would be like the smaller turbo always double the pressure of the big turbo. Variable would be like Big turbo at 5 lbs at 30% load 1000rpm with the small turbo at 12 lbs. Than say big turbo at 15 lbs at 60% load at 1500rpm with the small turbo at 25lbs. And by lbs I mean psi.

No it's not a stock manifold, those are single piece and these are 3 piece to allow expansion and contraction without breaking the tabs off the heads, manifolds or bolts.

Why no intercooling between compressor stages? What kinda boost is this running? And why have a hot air intake? No box? Seems to me even a smallish air to air in between stages would raise air density alot. Here's my math on some assumptions 15psi(2:1pr) by another 15psi(2:1pr).. looking at the comp maps that nets us at 80° ambient about 200°out then ramped up to 450-500° at 45psi at the manifold. Just adding a crap intercooler between would lower that to a much more reasonable 80° to 110° to 235° then into the next charge cooler. This brings the air density up about 40% and should be better for the engine. Also that charge pipe between stages looks a good bit smaller than the outlet of that big boy. Cool stuff I just think you guys could have done some more R&D on this but then again just pop a hole in the oilpan and JB weld it in doesn't really inspire confidence. is there any Dyno info, back pressure tests, charge temp tests? Not to be that guy just see lots of lack of a engineer.

In this case that you described...would not the primary turbo act as a flow restriction to the secondary turbo once the primary has reached max boost rpm? Why not have each turbo independently feed into a Y then feed to the intercooler....if both are being fed off the same exhaust. or in the scenario of both feeding into a Y, as the primary spools up would there then be any sort of backfeeding (loss) of air through the secondary turbo before it has a chance to spool up? In short.. 1. I understand the secondary will be "helping" the primary intake of air although: if primary is at max boost and max rpm....wouldn't more forced air going through the primary overspeed the bearings as well as the cross section area (say 12cm) can only flow so much air. Hence the theory of using a Y to allow each to force air through the intake independently of each other. 2. Would it not be more efficient to have the forced air (inducer) of the primary feed the exhaust side xducer of the secondary. Then the secondary spools fast as well as providing the extra amount of boost and flow desired? Just trying to understand the dynamics of twins...thanks
