JustPaus_88TSi Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 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 engineâ€, says Turbonetics Marketing Manager, Tyler Tanaka. 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. The first picture is compared against a Turbonetics T3 turbo. http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n155/drkonrad/babykiller1.jpg http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n155/drkonrad/babykiller2.jpg 250 lbs/min of airflow. 250 lbs/min of airflow. Lets put that into perspective, shall we? 250lbs/min=3617.5CFM or roughly TWELVE 12a's all plumbed up to one motor. Except the 12a's will peter out at 18psi while the Turbonetics TNX-122 can make over 140psi. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlowinUp54B's Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Saw that on another forum, we couldn't get that thing to spool. Haha, I'll throw it on my engine if you buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoFastBeater Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I don't even see a cummins spooling that thing. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I want to see pics of the insane truck that runs that thing. They must have tested it on something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 No truck. Custom turbo for big block v8 drag cars. there are plenty of 2500hp bracket cars out there, this will make it possible with less nitrous, I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanta Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 You know, I wonder what would happen to the human body if you plumbed the outlet into a mouth and sealed the mouth off and had it push 140psi... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turborusty Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I'd put that on my riding mower.....or go-kart. Turborusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack_Morris Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Gimme 20 minutes. It's going on the Jeep. I'd like to see just how quickly I can send an iron 4.0L cylinder head into orbit.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edde Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 This is for the stock fuel system, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turborusty Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 This is for the stock fuel system, right? Only safe on stock fuel up to 18 PSI....standard rule of thumb. Turborusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FnFspeed Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 put one just a little smaller on the shop drag car at sound performance when i worked there, car made 1500 horse laughing at us to throw more boost at it but the motor was already lifting the head at 47 psi lol , everytime it peaked you could see coolant spray out the head gasket in a mist. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strang3majik Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 what header flange would that be? lol and, I think if you had it at 140psi, and your blow off valve went off, your hood would be in orbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MontyTSI Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 You know, I wonder what would happen to the human body if you plumbed the outlet into a mouth and sealed the mouth off and had it push 140psi... your head would quickly evacuate itself at a third of that pressure with no relief valve. And nasty things would happen at much lower than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighterpilot Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) Actually I saw some turbo's similiar to this back in the late '70's on Alco, Cat, and FairBanks Morse marine diesels. Of course, each cylinder was between 250 to 350 cubic inches displacement, and the diesels had either 8, 12 or 16 cylinders. If I remember correctly they were running about 20 inches of boost pressure at 100% power, which was anywhere between 1200 to 4800 HP. For What It's Worth. KEN PS The turbo's external surfaces were not polished like that one is. Edited November 19, 2008 by Starfighterpilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontyTSI Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Our emergency buss diesels are 12 cylinder opposing cylinder with four turbos...each is at least 10-15 times larger than that one. We have 4 diesel engines that size and one SBO diesel thats 1/3 larger than those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwadd85 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 i think my ported 12a will flow more than that anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift1313 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I'd put that on my riding mower.....or go-kart. Turborusty you could, only it would be setup as a turbine and you would be driven by thrust:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
