TPG Tuning Single Turbo BMW M4 Project

TPG Tuning · 02-22-2016, 02:11 PM

The cylinder head work will eventually be marketed as part of our built engine setup. We will be offering it separately if you are interested however the entirety of the work will be going through us.

Correct that is for a parachute. It will be tucked closer to the car , this picture was just a mock up of the pieces before finally assembly. It will be used as an additional safety feature for our high speed runs.

This turbos heat isn't going to effect the plastic valve covers I hope???? Or the carbon fiber strut support?

Will large single turbo create turbo lag in low revs???

Essentially, yes. A larger single turbo will move the powerband towards the right of the dyno graph. It'll take longer to spool-up, but will hold torque up higher in the upper rev ranges(which equates to higher peak horsepower numbers, later in the rev range) where the stock twins start to run out of their efficiency range.

Plus, there are tuning advantages to a large single turbo and that is mostly due to having less back pressure (especially on a properly designed system).

What are you tuning it with? Great turbo choice FP ftw

Tsujen · 02-22-2016, 09:57 PM

Wowowow can't wait!

The downpipe, turbine housing and turbo manifold will all be coated, the turbo will be using a heat blanket and the downpipe will be wrapped. Also we are building new heat shields along the valve cover to better protect it.

Thanks everyone for the support, we should have a few more updates this upcoming week.

Dude.

Bro.

DUDE!

BRO!

Incredible build. Talk about engine parts porn. And that head flow chart! Damn!

Kr3st · 02-23-2016, 08:17 AM

Should be quick...

Bowser330 · 02-23-2016, 08:37 AM

The powerband will move to the right, yes, it will have a different feeling than the twin turbo setup, yes, but it could still be daily driven, there are plenty of cars with big singles being daily driven everyday. In fact some prefer the feeling of "being shot out of cannon" when the serious boost kicks in

Spool won't matter as soon as the proper anti lag tables are defined just like the N54 has. This is going to be a beast.

TPG Tuning · 02-23-2016, 09:34 AM

Overall we are looking to find a good turbo size that still offers reasonable response while still achieving a strong top end. We won't be throwing the largest turbo possible on this build, we will be finding the best overall powerband to suit our wants and needs.
