The turbos that He's thinking about using would be able to be plumbed with 3" exhaust though.

We use Jason's (WC fab) remote mount. Jason starts with Rick's log style 2.25" wagler matched headers and puts his 6 bolt flanges on them. Works flawless, no leaks. Been on and off the engine a bunch now with no problems

you are talking about true twins vs compounds. you will run into issues with the driver side downpipe routing if you put it on that side. I know a few people have started similar projects but I don't know of any that were finished.

I'm thinking about a full engine bay shave, relocate all the electronics and everything but the hardware and plumbing gets removed from the engine bay and relocated.

Under the drink holder in the center console would be a nice area for the ECM/TCM and fuse box, the batteries can get strapped TONTHE frame behind each rear wheel (in a box of course) and the coolant tank can go in a truck box with the nitrous, fuel cell where the spare went...etc

I want to see two turbo's with the filters right behind the headlights cones pointed down, a cool lookin intake and some wicked polished plumbing when I open the hood
And that's it
:woott:

They are referred to as "Parallel twins". I thought I read before that they are a tuning nightmare.
The tuning thing I wasn't sure about cuz you'd have to run 2 MAF's or run speed density? And I'm not sure EFI converts to speed density or if its possible with the Dmax ECM?

I'll have to check out WCF's hardware :thumb:

I was even thinkin I could run 2.75" if I had to, then dump both into 5"
:)

The down pipe coming off the driver's side could even go up and over the valley with Waglers cast intake
:D

Im sure It's possible with enough Norwegian man hours...which FTR is like 1:3 or 3:1...depends on which side of the block you're standing on...
:angel:

It does need to be pretty tho...
Ha

It's just a silly idea I've had in my head for a while, thought I'd throw it out there for fun

I haven't seen them?
You say WCF offers them?

Not sure I wanna see the price tag :laugh:

Wouldn't be necessary in this application. They are geared more towards the high drive pressure and extreme heat cycles found with truck pulling. We use a factory gasket but add 3 more bolts to the flange which offers more gasket crimp between the distance from the three factory bolt holes, which is where a standard flange/gasket setup normally blows out or leaks, expessecially with 2 1/4" plumbing. Been using them on multiple high horsepower trucks for a few years now and have not blown out any gaskets since. I'll see if I can round up a picture.

Your parallel twin idea is very cool. I've considered it myself and have had only a few customers ask about building a setup of the sort, but no one following thru with the plans. Could certainly be done though. You can plumb the Chargers into one cooler and then to the intake to help even out the flow, I would be Leary to running separate coolers and feeding individual intake runners without some sort of balance pressure line.

I run speed density on my race truck with EFILive. Mark does all my tuning so it can be done.
You would have to talk with Mark more about it.

Yeah, that looks pretty BEEFY!
I don't think I need that, lol

Good to know! Thanks Brett

Yeah man, that's exactly what and why I was thinking to do, running both chargers into opposite end tanks and exit out the center top...probably want a custom intercooler to efficiently work with that kind of air flow? Coming in on both ends and exiting center top might not be ideal for a standard intercooler design...

Bit yeah man, I think It'd be cool!
Now if we could only get cranks to stop breaking...

I've got a Callies on the way ill be putting in one of my personal pullers and running this season, we'll see how that holds up. :D
yes, if we did it we would start with two air to air cores and build it as one whole unit with the two outlet tanks joining together at the top to exit into one pipe.

Dang, that sounds legit!
Must be nice to have incredible fab skills ;)

I was thinkin more along the lines of a hole saw and some JB weld
:rofl:

Callies you say
Really...
Pin it to win it!

I'm to broke to even dream in that realm
