Shaun@TDi Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Has anyone seen these pictures of BMW's new V8 twin turbo set-up? Interesting design with regards to turbo location and intake/exhaust layout.... Discuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Looks way complicated and somewhat delicate to me....... How revolutionary is this design? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yemgi Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 looks a bit like the RS4 B5 V6 architecture to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam@TDi Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Well flowing across the cylinder heads that way around isn't all that new i've seen it on quite a few historic racing engines from the 50's and 60's but it does make alot of sense to mount the turbos inside the V, it ultimately will mean that the engine is much narrower and will give the suspension designers much more freedom to use long arms and therefore have better dynamics. Interesting to see petrol direct injection as well, but with the impending Euro 5 emissions regs I'm not surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
