(03-28-2013, 03:43 AM)Eric78 I already bought a Holset hx35 but this probably isn't enough for the power I'd like, would this & an hx40 work together in a compound set up? If not which turbo would you recomend to go with the hx35 in a compound set up on an OM605?
hx35 and hx40 is to close to eachother...An hx35 and hx52 will be a good match!

I will certainly look for one then, I'd been seeing a bunch of hx40s for a few hundred $ each, but most other Holsets are up in the thousands.

My plan is to use my factory manifold and turbo (om606), and machine a flat onto the factory manifold to allow me to mount a wastegate to bypass the factory turbo to allow the restrictive factory turbo and manifold to not restrict flow. The hx35 will then be the secondary being fed by the factory turbo exducer and the aditional wastegate. The hx35 will also be wastegated of course.
I realise I said the word factory far too many times in that paragraph..

I am compiling components to compound also. If you use a hx35 as the primary turbo will make for a very laggy and peaky power curved engine.

I have the same turbo set up sitting on the floor. After looking at the maps and the size usually used in other turbo set ups it is about right as the stock turbo produces about 50% of the HX35. I think with the proper waste gate and housings it would be a very capable set up. I'm no expert though. Combine that with an A/W intercooler and you could have some fun. Really I figure you don't need that much extra. I mean how much boost would one really need? In my mind just enough to burn that extra bit of fuel efficiently without excessive drive pressure and EGT. Sounds fun and would love to see it done before I did it.

She (the driver) asked for more gas pedal response as this engine had something like 550bhp so no need for additional top power anymore. Single turbo setup did wake up (=tires started to spin wild) after about 100-150m when using high speed on the transfer case. After compounding we got same kind of wheel spin after 2-3 metres. She said that now the engine sounds and feels angry.
This is she doing donuts for the fist time. After 40s she gets the hold of it. She is using under 80% gas pedal as there's no smoke. Actually I think she is using only half pedal movement for doing this. We haven't raised the boost up yet (around 3,5bar ATM) so it still smokes when slammed.

When thinking about this compounding there are some issues that comes to mind.Exhaust flow and exhaust gas velocity (if that's correct in English).
Normally you build a exhaust manifold the way that you can obtain the highest gas velocity possible (same length primary pipes is not always ideal if one is straight and one is bent 720-degrees). Now to the compound problem. Building a good manifold for a small turbo and then when boosting drive the big turbo via an external wastegate and the small turbos turbine flow... That's shit really!
And building a good exhaust manifold for the big turbo and propelling the small turbo via a wastegate actuator is also bad. Yes you can of course open the wastegate with the vacum pump and close it with boost. But the small turbo are to spool as fast as possible. And propelling that fast spooling turbo via a bad flowing wastegate solution is not really the way to go.
So how do you build a twin exhaust manifold that can get the most out of both turbos? The first problem is cutting of the manifold that is not in use... Solving that problem might be a couple of hours of sketching and some headache. Using the exhaust gas valves from a sports bike might be something, to big though and not 100% seal.
Now to the question. How is this done to be as efficient as possible? How does You guys make this work? And how is the setup made on stock cars like the BMW 123d?
I would love to understand this better.

Apparently, folks are getting drive pressure down to 1:1 with boost.

Quote:Not a stupid question, and you're not overthinking things. First off, you're way ahead of most people who just say "set the secondary at twice the boost of the primary". However, as you know, boost ratios and PR are NOT the same.
I went through this about a year ago as well, with my 62/476 install. It's somewhat hard to find helpful, technically accurate information on tuning twins (at least from what I could find). Nonetheless, here's what I've found out on mine.
You're going about it right, in that you want each turbo to share half of the "work"...and this means running equal PRs. However, from what I've experienced, it's not possible for this to happen in reality. You can adjust the wastegate on the secondary so that PRs on the two turbos match at one condition, but they won't match at any of the other conditions.
Since the secondary begins to spool much faster, its boost climbs quickly to about 10 psi before the primary begins to make a pound or two. The secondary continues to build boost faster, up to the point that its wastegate cracks. When the wastegate opens on the secondary, the primary begins to pick up speed much quicker. This (obviously) is because the primary is now receiving a larger percentage of the exhaust flow, and it's "higher quality" exaust due to the higher temperature of the wastegated exhaust...it is also beginning to get into the mass flow rate of air where it was designed to operate.
Thus, when you reach this point, the primary now begins building boost much quicker than the secondary. As such, neither of the turbos spool linearly with respect to each other. The small one spools quicker at first, and tapers off as the wastegate cracks. The big one is slow at first, and gets a kick in the pants as the secondary's wastegate opens. Because of this non-linearity, I've not found a way to maintain a constant shared PR across the speed/load operating range of the engine.
The best I've been able to do, is to set the wastegate on the secondary such that you are at a 1:1 PR ratio with the two turbos at about 75 - 80% of full horsepower. This allows the small secondary to spool quickly and get you going. At full 100% hp, the primary will be doing more work than it should; however, for daily driving, this has worked better for me. It does make the primary have a higher PR than the secondary at WOT, but it allows the PRs to be more closely matched in the 40 - 75% throttle range where I normally tow/drive/need boost at.
For an all-out-best dyno number, it may be better to match PRs at 100% load, but I've found for a daily driver/work horse, a little lower does better. For what it's worth, with my ~650 hp worth of fueling, the 476 primary never sees much more than 25 psi on a WOT run. Thus, unless you are too heavily fueled for the set of twins you have, I don't think there is much tuning to be done with the wastegate setting on the primary...as long as you aren't letting it crack before 25 or 30 psi and "wasting" exhaust energy.
Again, the above info may or may not be accurate, and may not be the best way of doing things. It's just what I've found to be true with my limited knowledge and my setup.

And propelling that fast spooling turbo via a bad flowing wastegate solution is not really the way to go.
So how do you build a twin exhaust manifold that can get the most out of both turbos? The first problem is cutting of the manifold that is not in use... Solving that problem might be a couple of hours of sketching and some headache. Using the exhaust gas valves from a sports bike might be something, to big though and not 100% seal.
Now to the question. How is this done to be as efficient as possible? How does You guys make this work? And how is the setup made on stock cars like the BMW 123d?
I would love to understand this better.

02-13-2014, 11:47 PM #25Efficiency improvement comes from two (or more) turbos acting together. If calculated correctly, they'll stay at their best efficiency islands and still have very wide operating range, which isn't possible with single turbo setup. This efficiency improvement surpasses manifold efficiency at least ten times.

I have to say that I've thought a bit about this since yesterday and every step forward puts me at another dead end. This IS a hard nut to crack.
And as of now people is running fairly low power outputs on there cars. I understand the lag and such when going HX55 and similar. A modern billet dual ball bearing turbo is not that expensive when we look at the other costs around building a car. Up to 600hp that is a very good solution.
More than 600hp you can always go supercharger/turbo
And for +1000hp applications we will in this thread figure out how to make a real efficient compound manifold.

I'm with you on this mate. But if one could build two real exhaust manifolds and somehow decrees or increase the amount of flow between them. That setup would be 10-times more efficient than the current wastegated solution. Or what do you guys think?

What does "getting drive pressure down to 1:1" means?What I'm talking about is that one turbo on a good manifold will spool at 4000rpm. That's to late, right... So you build a compound configuration... Will that big old turbo (the same turbo) still spool at 4000rpm? In my mind (but I have no clue on compounding, hence these questions and out loud thinking) you'll get quick spool of the small turbo and therefore don't mind the slower spool of the bigger turbo. For me this looks like spooling your hx55 (for example) with a modified stock manifold. Not that great really...
So therefore there must be a solution that can give you maximum efficiency out of both turbos in these kind of setups.
I don't care about back pressure and such right now. For one reason only. You can build real shitty manifolds and drive with real shitty turbo chargers and get super low back pressure. What's interesting is what kind of exhaust gas velocity you'll get and when the turbo spools. It can be 1000rpm between a shit manifold and a good one
Ideas?

If the big one spools right after the small one, I can not see the point other then to make the big one spool, and make a two turbo work in stage if you need really high boost but at that case aftercooler/intercoller would be a good choice and the HP turbo can be sized even smaller for mainly faster response. I just thought that kind of application show it would be preferable with a HP turbo spooling even faster?

According to my calculations this intercooler is a bad thing to this current setup, but the team wanted to test it anyway. I've also learned that you can only calculate to a certain point and then you just have to let the real world bring you down...
Compounding is all about getting high boost, wide operating range and low EMP (=exhaust manifold pressure).
With single we needed 100-150m in certain gear to get to the power zone. Now HP lights up after 2-3m and LP around 20m. Smoke is mostly cleared so we must be doing more power than previously even that we are still using similar max boost.

We're all friends here and I'm not saying anyone is wrong. But I don't understand. In theory this kind of compound setup would work very bad.
So you mean that if I have a big old turbo that start boosting at 4000rpm will spool faster when driven by the remaining gases out of the LP-turbo and the escaping gases out of a wastegate? Does not make sense...
But I'm thinking about this and I can't find any good solution. Low-tech, high-tech, cheap or expensive... I just can't find the solution.
The best way I can think of is using a supercharger and boost through the compressor of the HP-turbo of your choice. That will give you everything you need. Simple, low-tech and fairly cheap.
But this is about compounding and we have a tough one to crack. Bare in mind that Porsche used compound turbos in the 959 and that's 30years ago.

Why would you think the amount of exhaust gasses stays the same? When you figure out this, you'll understand a lot more of compounding.
First compound turbo setup was done back in 1908, so Porsche was just copying things, not inventing anything new. The main reason why compounding is quite rarely used, is because ~3bar is the lowest reasonable boost pressure available from such a system (how many modern road legal vehicle has this kind of boost pressures? Have to take account NOx formation too), it's expensive to build and needs space (vs. single or VNT) and it's mostly banned in most racing classes for it's superioty. Actually after next summer I hope there will be still another race class that bans compounding within it as I'm hoping our race project will demolish competition. This project has nothing to do with OM606.

calculation is very depending on how advanced modules and equation used and if transitions is considered and what boundary conditions you use, it is not exactly a hand calculator to make some good solutions, aftercooler is a tricky part and not that easy to calculate for good performance.

good response for me are like BMW 535D almost instant full boost from 1000rpm, and specially when you let go of the gas and back a again it is quite obviously, but that is really hard to make work good even the R2S turbo on 535d has a hard time but they are not exactly high tech.

959 turbo is sequential turbo system, parallel not in serie like we speak here, that system can take more advantage of the pulses if done right, series arrange turbo have a more seamless transition but LP stage there is no pulses left. If used right the pulses can make look like the turbos turbine has up like 100% efficiency if defined by static conditions

The homebrew compound turbo systems use a big divorced primary wastegate for the primary turbo. BMW uses an internal type flapper valve primary wastegate for the primary turbo. Very little difference; nobody has reinvented the wheel in either situation.
Shadowmaker, can you explain why 3 bar is the bottom limit for sequential? Why not just set the primary wastegate for 1 bar and the secondary for 2 bar?
Your build is *beautiful* but that intercooler (and it's placement) makes my head explode! How high does IAT get after a few donuts? EDIT, nevermind, that's one of 2 intercoolers, the final IC is huge.

But there are guys out there (like me) that have worked thousands of hours constructing the best exhaust manifold that I can build. A manifold that will give the fastest spool and lowest beck pressure... And for me ---- On the wrong side of the turbine and via a wastegate there are just a fraction of flow and exhaust gas velocity than on the "right" side...
Therefore I started this lines of 'out loud thoughts'. I will still search for a way of doing this compound thingy more efficient. And for me efficiency is when stuff perform at there maximum level.

My bad guys, just had this obviously wrong memory about the 959. Was pretty sure that was a small turbo and a big turbo driven by each other. Hence the compound analogy.

(02-13-2014, 07:27 AM)F.R.A.S I'm a total newbe on compound installations but I have some experience of building fast cars
Exhaust flow and exhaust gas velocity (if that's correct in English).
Normally you build a exhaust manifold the way that you can obtain the highest gas velocity possible (same length primary pipes is not always ideal if one is straight and one is bent 720-degrees). Now to the compound problem. Building a good manifold for a small turbo and then when boosting drive the big turbo via an external wastegate and the small turbos turbine flow... That's shit really!
And building a good exhaust manifold for the big turbo and propelling the small turbo via a wastegate actuator is also bad. Yes you can of course open the wastegate with the vacum pump and close it with boost. But the small turbo are to spool as fast as possible. And propelling that fast spooling turbo via a bad flowing wastegate solution is not really the way to go.
So how do you build a twin exhaust manifold that can get the most out of both turbos? The first problem is cutting of the manifold that is not in use... Solving that problem might be a couple of hours of sketching and some headache. Using the exhaust gas valves from a sports bike might be something, to big though and not 100% seal.
Now to the question. How is this done to be as efficient as possible? How does You guys make this work? And how is the setup made on stock cars like the BMW 123d?

(02-15-2014, 04:37 AM)F.R.A.S So you mean that if I have a big old turbo that start boosting at 4000rpm will spool faster when driven by the remaining gases out of the LP-turbo and the escaping gases out of a wastegate? Does not make sense...It will start to boost faster because when the small turbo start making boost(engine burns more fuel), the engine makes more exhaust to spool up the large turbo.
F.R.A.S I agree with you, the system where the exhaust runs trough a small turbo and a large wastegate and than into the large turbo is far from ideal, but I consider it a good compromise. I think the porsche 959 is a better solution but I am not sure if it has been build on an inline diesel engine? Has anyone seen or build such a system? I have been considering it for a while(both with 2 equal size turbos or 2 different size)
F.R.A.S do you have any photos of the exhaust manifolds you have build? would be very interesting to see since I agree with your thoughts

F.R.A.S I agree with you, the system where the exhaust runs trough a small turbo and a large wastegate and than into the large turbo is far from ideal, but I consider it a good compromise. I think the porsche 959 is a better solution but I am not sure if it has been build on an inline diesel engine? Has anyone seen or build such a system? I have been considering it for a while(both with 2 equal size turbos or 2 different size)
F.R.A.S do you have any photos of the exhaust manifolds you have build? would be very interesting to see since I agree with your thoughts

This does not have to be just multiple turbochargers, infact I'm sure compounding originally used turbo and a supercharger.
The reason the big (LP) turbo spools shortly after the small (HP) turbo is because the HP turbo spooling (creating manifold pressure) causes the exhaust volume and pressure correspondingly, and it is this extra volume and pressure that drives the LP turbo.
I may be being anal here but a 1:1 drive pressure on a turbo compound system with 60psig manifold pressure of course means 60psi in the exhaust manifold, so I'm not sure is that will be 'good' in terms of egt's and exhaust component temperatures..?
Also with regards to reasoning, a typical compound turbo system can be put together for £$3-400 and my shoddy welding skills and I can have 50-60psi at the manifold which I consider to be a massive win in my books!
Throughts?

Compounding means to compound the boost pressure (each compressor's pressure ratio is multiplied together).

The truck guys seem to like compound for towing, so they're able to keep egt's in check.
Let's say you get 50 psi at an impossible 100% compressor efficiency. There will still be a massive amount of heat for the intercooler to deal with. Additionally, the mass of air entering the engine will be enough to require a very good flowing IC. This is why I have reservations for packaging it in a compact or midsize car. I've been turning over this idea for a 617 equipped FJ40 that has plenty of room for everything, including my limited fabrication skills

fortunately with the w210 and w202, removing the factory air box leaves much room for a water/air heat exchanger for inter-stage cooling, and sacrificing a/c gives about 18" x 20" x 3" core size for a front mount air/air. I think that is a fairly accurate space availability across the board for Mercedes saloons to be honest?
And FJ40 would also work out well.. Lol.

Yes absolutely.

the space i will have should make life a little easier
Hario, once you have removed the AC radiator, you could take off the viscous fan and use the 2 spal fans on the water rad and move it back should you need some extra girth

im hoping that cutting the end tanks from these large intercoolers and making one rather large unit should help with reducing at least some of the heat

This was for a quite fast Audi A3 3.2 DSG quattro. So no diesel I'm afraid
(02-16-2014, 02:13 PM)Turbo what about twin entry?

Don't have much photos on the computer, but I'll see if I can find something.
