    both are non-turbo engines IIRC.
    How many turbo engines have you actually driven? They are common good in Europe, but as the americans are consistently boycotting modern diesel engines, a turbo remains limited to a relatively small number of petrol cars.

    Alright our 118d has a single turbo engine and has quite a lot of lag. Basically below 2000rpm there's almost no engine.

    because the G35 was built as more of a luxury car, they gave it a quieter and more restrictive intake. but that is not at all relevant to the thread. and we are all still waiting for pics of this magical car.

    There are obviously some deficiencies in your sarcasm department.
    And judging from Pokey's post, also in your photographic capabilities....

A bi-turbo should ordinarily achieve this better than a single turbo system, thus its advantage. As the air flows away from the turbine through the intercooler and towards the combustion chamber, it changes behavior from turbulence to laminar flow, which reduces the air flows velocity and the power it will produce, especially at low RPMs for regular turbos. Also, the heat it will absorb does reduce the power the air will create as well.

    What you want is to have turbulence or a vortex even at the point the air has reached the combustion chamber. Mostly for this reason does a bi-turbo or a VVT makes sense because they are able to create the vortex or turbulence up to that point because of increased air flow up to the combustion chamber. However, I suspect a VVT system will do this much much better than a bi-turbo, and do so efficiently.

    ROTFL! Gigantic EGR! That's the mother of all EGRs, it's DEI!

    Don't take it the wrong way, just loved your inocence at the internet.

    wow....
    comparing similar years, 03-06 G35 Coupe and Sedans and 350Z's pre dual intake z's, they have the same exact intake. The only difference is that the g's come witha sound baffle on top and it drops down into the engine bay. The 350z has a straight pipe. That difference is just for sound. most cars have a sound baffle to restrict intake sounds. you do not feel any power gain from doing this. Both G35 and 350z have the same air filter, same intake. the only difference is the "z-tube" from the MAF to the throttle body.

    z-tube seems to make a difference in how the air flows as far as throttle response. Maybe I am just feeling butt dyno. Just maybe.....

    A turbocharger has both a compressor and turbine impeller and the two are connected with a shaft. It is the same principles that apply to power plant design just on a smaller scale. The turbine extracts energy from exhaust gases and uses that energy to drive a compressor.

    Reading stadium as "stage", then I wouldn't say it is impossible. It may not be pratical, but I am sure it is possible. Given the need anything is possible.

    For example, look at this old work done by NASA to run a Rotax 912 1.2 liter 4-cylinder general aviation engine at 90,000ft.

    Turbo power reaches new heights - 1996-09-08 20:00:00 EDT | Design News

    At 90,000 ft, ambient air enters the low-pressure turbocharger at -65F and 0.5 inches of Hg absolute pressure. Assuming average compression ratio of 4 per stage, outlet pressure to the coolers from the low, intermediate, and high pressure turbochargers amounts to about 2, 8, and 32 inches of Hg. Allowing two inches Hg for cooler losses, this supplies air to the intake manifold at 30 inches of Hg.
    You basically have a three stage turbine. Since they are only trying to maintain 1 bar of pressure in the intake manifold at altitude it doesn’t sound so impressive. That is until you see what it looks like in the lab.

    Anyways, I love the pics of DEI. It could work so long as there was a way to deal with any accumulated exhausted in that system or a phase change in the nature of gases produced. I am really naive about this one. What do you think?

    You just went a bit outside the point there, but, that's ok, the DEI invention was thought up by some idiot probably while watching fast and furious, the second it was posted on a forum it became an instant internet classic.

    The 'it' could work doens't exist, it doens't work, it will never work, if you change anything with it, it no longer is was it is.
