Topic: Twin ghettocharged V12

I'm whispering sweet turbo madness into certain ears in an attempt to convince a team to throw a pair of turbos into a V12 powered sled with a short Lemons history.

Any encouragement you care to offer will be promptly forwarded to the team.



For example:

Any increase in the probability of turning the engine inside out results in a directly proportional decrease in scrutiny at BS inspection.

Don't worry about penalty laps.  If you show up with that setup there will only be shock and awe in the judges chambers.

We all know it's raw power that wins Lemons races so I say GO FOR IT!!!

This. I want a quad-turbo V12... like the EB110, but with rust-holes the size of Kansas.

Re: Twin ghettocharged V12

From one of the co-conspirators: "Why not 3 turbos, one per 4 cylinders?"


Sounds good to me.  What could go wrong?

Re: Twin ghettocharged V12

Nah, 1:2 is the ideal ratio. You need SIX. Plus, you can call it Sex-turbo.

If this enters in the same race as a Biturbo and a Sodomobile-themed minivan, we'd cover all our bases AND end up with the most NSFW Lemons race ever...

The more turbochargers you have, the better we will like the car.

Re: Twin ghettocharged V12

Naw....how about this......TWO HUGE turbos...like from a small diesel...THEN add a supercharger to help on the bottom end.....what could possibly go wrong (other than blown headgaskets)

Pff, who needs a head gasket? Just crank down on the head bolts until that shit is airtight metal-on-metal.

JB Weld is a Lemons tested head gasket substitute as well.

Higher compression AND one less weak spot in the combustion chamber? What could possibly go wrong??

Re: Twin ghettocharged V12

My thoughts exactly.Weak spots lead to failures. Failures are bad - catastrophic failures are EXCELLENT.
