Mother of all waste gates, meet the mother of all turbos:





Turbonetics Releases New 122mm Billet Turbo - we call it the "Baby Killer"

When you think the world of turbos for automotive use is at their biggest, we all get surprised again. Turbonetics has released their new TNX-122, 122 MM turbo. The kit is designed for top tier racing, such as, Pro Mods and really for diesel sled pulling competitions. “Diesels go for the most amount of boost you can possibly fit in an engine”, says Turbonetics Marketing Manager, Tyler Tanaka.

The turbo is capable of producing over 2500 horsepower, while supporting 50-60 PSI. The center section is an all-new billet piece. It allows Turbonetics to build a stronger internal bearing with a new, patented oiling system. Also, the compressor wheel is made from a billet 713C super-alloy. “When you run this much boost on a cast wheel, it can expand from the center and explode.” Tyler remarked. Regardless, make sure small animals are not present while in operation.

^HAHA thats just rediculas, there isnt many motors that could spool that huge thing. Id be kind of funny though to pop your hood and all you see is a Mother turbo.

Can you imagine if an L67 could spool that thing up? Geeeesh. It probably would need the whole quarter mile just to get it started.

Then the cylinder heads blow off like the tops to mentos diet coke bottles, quickly followed by the pistons making a discrete exit through the oil pan.

discrete.... yea that's the word I'd use, haha

I mean seriously.... that thing is bigger than many of the original Jet Turbines!

Good point.

I installed the TNX-122 on my GTP the other night. I took it off and sold it to a friend who has a corolla for $300 bucks. The M90 pulled way harder

^^^^ WORD!





I wonder what the M1A1 tanks are using nowa days?

jet turbines

they sure are

where do I place my bet?


It reminds me of vegas all over again!!

A wastegate is a valve that diverts exhaust gases away from the turbine wheel in a turbocharged engine system. Diversion of exhaust gases causes the turbine to lose speed, which in turn reduces the rotating speed of the compressor. The primary function of the wastegate is to stabilize boost pressure in turbocharger systems, to protect the engine and the turbocharger.
