Sorry, but how the balls do the exhaust ports connect to the turbo housing? It's not a center port exhaust like BMW and Audi use and that housing is farther than I expected from the exhaust ports. I guess we will have to wait and see.
I did wonder this too. But I can see how they will do that if the turbine is the bit on the end. Its the intake I am confused about, I can't see where they would squeeze it back in under the air box.
Assuming the black box is the air box which fed by the intake over the drivers head, then the compressor should be sucking from that, but then where does it go? I assume there is going to be an inter cooler somewhere before it makes its ways back to the cylinders. Where is this going to fit?
The exhausts should be coming off the underside of each bank. Probably a 3 into 1 manifold on each side then going 2 into 1 to merge the flows for entry to the turbine (are they going to use variable geometry?) and then out the back in a single fat exhaust pipe that exits centrally?
Really hoping that the turbo has a high speed electric motor/generator nestled between the compressor and turbine. To my mind this is a great way to both generate some electricity from waste and at the same time improve transient behavior.
As an aside, we have an old 1.5 l Cosworth V6 twin turbo F1 engine in our lab on display. Very short in length, but wide. I think its got a greater than 90 deg V. It is twin turbo and two large blowers are bolted almost directly to the exhaust ports. They are nestled directly on the underside of the cylinder heads.
EDIT: I guess that the air box could actually be chambered. A central chamber for the air coming from the air intake to be sucked up with the compressor and then two chambers either side of this for the air flow to re-enter once it has been compressed and cooled.
