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 first picture is compared against a Turbonetics T3 turbo

The turbo is capable of producing over 2500 horsepower, while supporting 140+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.

250 lbs/min of airflow!

This seems like a joke to me. What kind of engine can actually boost this turbo up?!?!

^^^ there's 100+ mm turbo's on stock cubed ls1 street cars too. not 122mm like this monster but 105-109mm give or take.

Some of those sled pulling diesels will spin up close to or just over 100PSI.

 

[CrawlinTBSS]

maybe someone will slap it in a SS Outlaw car. that bitch will fly.

a piddly one maybe...

I've heard of Farm Stock and Hot Farm diesel tractor pullers running close to 100 on a single turbo...Those classes are stock governer, stock block, cube limited motors with generally relatively small turbos. They up the cubes, lower the CR, and run retarded high boost.

The guys who run sequentials run well over 100, generally upwards of even 200 psi on some of the alcohol burners and the occasional diesel.

They don't need fast spool, they've got all the time in the world to sit at the line and build boost before they let out the clutch.

The thing only supports 2500 hp...that's alot, but really not that much when you think of what the Top Fuel and Funnycar guys are running in the way of horsepower.

Perhaps they were saying 2500 hp on non-oxygenated fuel though...i.e. gasoline, rather than alcohol or Nitrometh.

Regardless...pretty fucking sweet.

I want to see the turbine housings for that thing. I wonder what flange that thing would use. That turbine wheel is bigger than my whole turbo.

 

[Nasty93]

my friend has a 110 on his nova

 

[Poopshinanigans]

ATS just tells you to get new head studs when you run their compound system. And i think that makes around 70psi.

u should have seen the gem i saw out in wyoming... i will post a new thread this reminded me of it...

my buddy bought an 88 bigg'n blue bird from some place around kankakee... about 5 years ago... it took us about 3 hours to get it back because it topped out at around 58 mph. and we had to refill the gas tank 3 times. the place he bought it from was hillarious... it was a used bus mecca, and we drove them all around their yard before he decided on his 800$ jem.

Oh busses.
