Now if you used the low starter, V-8 trans with the adaptor....
truthfully, there is no good reason to run dual turbos, unless you set them up as sequential with a diversion valve.

I have always wondered who built this: http://www.slantsix.org/articles/turbo- ... l-side.jpg Duel Dutra's, twin turbo's. Did it ever run? |

Funny I don't recall ever seeing a hand crank orifice on any slant six. How would one start this baby with an A 904 attached... |

maybe with a decompression lever like the old 290 cummins had? or maybe a wind-up inertial starter like the old radial piston engines had? how cool would that be. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2ChXmMiXjY YEAH! |

This was never built. Doug just mocked this up with parts he had lying around. Lou |

That's kinda what I thought. I couldn't see how a starter would fit. |

Plumb that into the dual 1 barrel manifold you are working on Doug, that would be a neat mockup |

what was the point of turning the propeller by hand? Is it some sort of priming? |

Yeah, like out of the bottom cylinders so they don't hydraulic lock! |
