It can't. Only a V engine can be twin turbo.fkeillor said:Hey everyone, I was talking with my dealer tonight and he told me the 07 RedLine will be powered by a twin trubo. Didn't have any more info that that, but if it is true the that would really make the Red Line an E ticket ride.
Not true, it's just easier to do multiple turbos on V engines because there are exhaust ports on both sides of V engines. As long as enough exhaust gas can be routed to each turbo, an engine can have as many as you want.DuSpinnst said:
I've heard of twin turbo engines that use one small turbo and one large one. The small one spins up faster with no lag, and the big one gives the majority of the boost. Porsche does this with their twin turbo engines.
Once at an exotic car show I saw a Bugatti with a 4 turbo V12 engine. I forget the HP number, it was some insane number.

The dealers can't tell you when they are getting them or how many they are getting. They can't even tell you options or interior colours at this point. It's all speculation. Sounds like he was playing with you. Or didn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.
I find out more hear than any dealer has been able to tell me. As a matter of fact I have sent a couple of them here.

I much like you went into my dealership with more information in hand than was available to them. But in my sales representative's defense he also wasn't trying to miss lead me. I pointed the forum out to him as well. Now we are waiting together on what ever information comes available. From there we will move forward making informed decisions.rick112 said:
Not true. The Nissan Slyline GT-R was a twin turbo inline six as well as the MKIV Toyota Supra.DuSpinnst said:
They wouldn't throw a twin turbo in this car unless it had a larger displacement. I don't see that happening anyway, doesn't seem like this car is targetted towards that market, and the costs of a TT Redline would be much greater than a standard turbo/supercharged model.
It'd actually be pretty silly to not include the same motor used in the Ion redline for production cost reasons alone.
Well, if a DEALER says it, it MUST be true :lol:fkeillor said:Hey everyone, I was talking with my dealer tonight and he told me the 07 RedLine will be powered by a twin trubo. Didn't have any more info that that, but if it is true the that would really make the Red Line an E ticket ride.
Brentil, just for a moment, break open your circle of NaCl and let me in...

What's relevant is the power of the engine, not whether it got one , two or three turbos (you always want just one, if possible). The widely reported figures are "at least 250 HP" and possibly more.

I have a good dealer back home and he and the GM have been good about returning my emails. They even said that they were not taking deposits and did not know their actual allotment number, so at least they are not BSing me yet. (I am a least one of the 1st on their wait list)
