The turbocharging of engines in modern cars today is getting pretty common. You can see all sorts of forced induction set-ups, from a small-sized single turbo and up to a twin-turbo set-up. But a triple turbo set-up is something new and two German automakers are venturing into that foray.

the Veyron has 4 turbos isn't it? it is merely the application which is novel since noone has taken 3 turbos to slap on the engine. still, multi turbo powerplants are not new, thats my point.

@Happily1986: Yes, you are correct about the Veyron having 4 turbos. The Veyron's engine is a W16 which is equivalent to two V8s. Each turbo is set for each bank of cylinders and that is why the engineers are able to place four turbos.

 

When I asked the question about how will triple turbos function, I basically was wondering on how three turbos would function on an inline engine since most of the time nowadays we only see twin turbos. Generally, one turbo for the lower-end and the other one for mid and higher end.

 

Fixing three turbos on an engine is new for stock engines although aftermarket tuners have done it. I've seen three turbos on a Mazda 20B engine and it is ideal since it thas three rotors. One turbo for each rotor.

 

Thank you for your comments.

  • Manchester United's "promising" transfer window should be taken with a pinch of salt

    Having followed this club for more than 20 years, I'm well aware that a promising transfer window does not directly equate to an improved season. Forwards Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, as well as Diego Leon, the young Paraguayan wing-back, have been Manchester United's signings for the 2025 summer transfer window so far. On paper, this team should have no problem challenging for silverware. On the pitch, the current crop of players finished 15th last season. While both Cunha and Mbeumo ha

    Movile Cave: Aliens on Earth

    Picture this: a subterranean hideaway so exclusive, it's been sealed off from the outside world for a cool 5.5 million years. Yep, the Movile Cave is a strange alien universe right here on Earth, tucked underneath the Romanian coast.  It may be just 20 metres below ground, but the Movile Cave is about as alien an environment as you will find anywhere on Earth. With no interference from the plebeian air that we breathe and light that we see, the cave instead is a concoction of sulphuric

    Are forums outdated? I try to find out by asking AI

    Is your boss asking you to explore and learn how to use AI to improve the quality and efficiency of your work? Yup, you aren't the only one in that boat.  Whilst exploring new AI tools, I figured: Why not use it to answer some burning questions that I have? This time, it was about whether forums are outdated. Yes, forums like this one that we are on. I remember how before social media became popular, and before apps like Carousell existed, forums were where I chatted with others t

    In life, there is no pleasure without pain

    Before anything else, let me assure you that this is not about BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism, masochism). Like many of my posts, this is an observation about life. More specifically, the duality of pain and pleasure that exists within it. Let's consider the analogy of light and dark: A room seems bright because the darkness subdued. Yet without the presence of darkness, how do we perceive the brightness of the light? Similarly, we cannot savour the sweetness of pleasure without the
