Turbonetics Releases New 122mm Billet Turbo
When you think the world of turbos for automotive use is at their biggest, we all get surprised again. Turbonetics has released their new TNX-122, 122 MM turbo. The kit is designed for top tier racing, such as, Pro Mods and really for diesel sled pulling competitions. “Diesels go for the most amount of boost you can possibly fit in an engine”, says Turbonetics Marketing Manager, Tyler Tanaka.

Compared against a Turbonetics T3 turbo



The turbo is capable of producing over 2500 horsepower, while supporting 50-60 PSI. The center section is an all-new billet piece. It allows Turbonetics to build a stronger internal bearing with a new, patented oiling system. Also, the compressor wheel is made from a billet 713C super-alloy. “When you run this much boost on a cast wheel, it can expand from the center and explode.” Tyler remarked. Regardless, make sure small animals are not present while in operation.

WOW that is one big turbo! Imagine the passes you can do on one of those things!

lmao

Holy crap...

Can you imagine the lag with that?

I'd still take a 14-71



The supercharger is a 14-71 type Roots blower. It has twisted lobes and is driven by a toothed belt. The supercharger is slightly offset to the rear to provide an even distribution of air. Absolute manifold pressure is usually 3.8-4.5 bar (56-66 PSI), but up to 5.0 bar (74 PSI) is possible. The manifold is fitted with a 200 psi burst plate. Air is fed to the compressor from throttle butterflies with a maximum area of 65 sq. in. At maximum pressure, it takes approximately 400 horsepower (300 kW) to drive the supercharger.

These superchargers are in fact derivatives of General Motors scavenging-air blowers for their two-cycle diesel engines, which were adapted for automotive use in the early days of the sport. The model name of these superchargers delineates their size; i.e. the once commonly used 6-71 and 4-71 blowers were designed for General Motors diesels having six cylinders of 71 cubic inches each, and four cylinders of 71 cubic inches each, respectively. Thus, the currently used 14-71 design can be seen to be a huge increase in power delivery over the early designs.

Those are the ones found on the top fuel cars, aren't they?

wow, it takes 400 HP to drive the SC. I guess we won't see them on a grand prix engine, lol.

holy crap lol, i wonder what the price tag is on them babys lol, .... hum zzp, pick up one or 2 of these for the ttgp lol, can you imagine them on that lol, it would take an 1/8th mile just for them to spool lol

HOLY Moley thats biggger than a tractor turbo lol

...

Dumb.

Sound. Clip. NAO!!!

have zzp put 2 on!!!!!!!!

Our exhaust could probably barely spin the thing up. Lag anyone?

That seriously is bigger then the turbos on tractor trailers (big rigs). What would use one of them? A cruise ship? tug boat?

triturbos anybody to reduce lag??? haha

t3, t66, t122 haha killer

that's crazy, the biggest i saw was a 101 mm in a supra
