Question about turbos and V engines - 6G Celicas Forums

Can someone explain to me why it is harder/impractical to setup a twin turbo arrangement in a V engine versus an I engine?

I've seen pictures of how it can be done, but I want to know why it is harder to do it this way...

Is it because they take up too much space and therefore require a tremendous amount of fabrication/customization to the engine bay?

well first of all anything is possible

its all in how much you want it and how much your willing to make it happen.

and yes you probably answered your own question.
Is this good enuff 4 ya? :D

a) its not that V6/V8/V10/V12 motors are easier.....I6 motors are just as easy to put 2 turbos on.

setup....either sequential or bi-turbo.

b) people do not TT I4 motors...why? its inefficient, non-fiscally intelligent.


so NO it is not harder to TT an I (inline) motor than it is to a V style motor. It depends on space in the engine bay/size of the motor/cost intelligence
