So underrated!!! I keep trying to get people to subscribe and help out hero out! The more we support him, the more information we can be provided 🤗 I wish I could live near Richard, that way I could in any free time. Love this channel 😆
This is literally the only video or document that has genuine data showing why twin turbo may be better. I see almost no one talking about back pressure. This channel literally answers the question of: Is SINGLE or TWIN TURBO better, and the answer is very situation based: More responsive single turbo can be better than less responsive twin turbos A single big turbo may be worse than twin of the same turbos at the same boost, for both longevity and power. A bigger but more responsive single turbo may provide outright more power everywhere and be more responsive everywhere than an incorrectly sized twin turbo. This channel is an absolute goldmine of information. Thank you for making these!
bigger hot side, single Turbo set up right is as good as twin, mine is a big 98mm T6 makes 1500hp pretty easy but my motor is build to handle more than that, I only push it when I'm after a number at the drags, another problem is where to put the other Turbo, my engine guy told me what to buy to achieve that which I did, my car is a Chevy SS in the USA on the street is just dumb running it that high can be dangerous also
"THANK YOU!. "Richard your engine dyno videos/Dyno print out explained helps me take my mind off of me having cancer & my chemotherapy treatment's.."LMAO!.."CUZ!.."4 whatever reason when I'm in pain I put on your videos & I don't think about the pain..."THANK YOU RICH!
There's more info on this video than an entire turbocharger book. There was a day when no one would share this detailed dyno test, thanks for posting Richard!
Richard, you are sharing an amazing amount of data with us and it is all good, solid credible info. Thanks a ton for doing these vids for us as it is not easy to find this sort of information.
Love the work you are doing. Very informative. Biggest thing I noticed from twin turbos vs the s480 was the back pressure. That s480 has a lot of back pressure on the high end. To me, seeing how much less back pressure the twins had is very appealing to me. I would think a setup of properly sized twins would last longer on a motor vs a bigger single turbo.
More backpressure really doesn't "hurt" anything as long as it's within reason, also a single will make more HP than twins at the same PSI because the extra turbine on twins takes an extra 20-30hp to drive.
I swear I get more hyped every time I watch another one of you videos, finding your channel has been the most exciting thing that’s happened all week, keep the amazing content coming Richard 😁
Found this channel a few weeks ago and it's addictive. Real world testing and proven dyno results can't be argued with. Thanks Richard your doing God's work!

Thanks again Richard for more great content I don’t see anywhere else . I’m a big block guy and loved it , I run two 369S Borg Warner’s and make tons of power at 6800 with big torque instantly all through a CSU blow through ad I haven’t made the jump to EFI yet .

@@dj4monie most people dont need and/or cant handle 1300hp. Most people will be happy with a small cheap engine with a small cheap turbo sending out 5-600hp that dont have to worry about a 5000 dollar rebuild
Bill Jr I know what your saying , in my 5000 pound truck it’s 10,000 in a trans , torque converter , controller and another 5-6 thousand for the fab nine inch with a wave lock diff and Wilwood brakes to be reliable and stop great without the annoyance of a spool which I have tried , but it wasn’t about doing it on a budget it’s my street sleeper quiet/docile cruising flat hood truck that I drive everywhere, go to car shows , flog at the track , parking lot slaloms , that I’ve owned for seventeen years and just keeps evolving. If I was just looking to build a quick car it would be a 5.3 or 6 litre with a single turbo running the Holley Terminator so it would be easy tuning . Btw my truck still uses a high end blow CSU carb and drives mostly like a fuelie as nine years ago too many people were having problems with the Fast system as that was really the only high hp option st the time .
I love so much about these videos. One cool feature is when your boost pressure is higher than your backpressure, your pumping loop (from the PV diagram) adds to the power rather than subtracting from it.
@@bill2178 If your single is sized correctly the difference in spool at a desired horsepower is negligible. That said, twins are often more forgiving and can be easier to package.
@@1flynlow Yes but you're also compounding the heat unless you switch from one to the other. There is an easier but somewhat less effective solution to that, though. Get an little bit oversized divided scroll turbo and get one of those quick spool valves. www.suprastore.com/spquspva.html only problem is they're spendy but still cheaper then twins or sequential/compound.
Thanks for doing this test! I asked for a twin vs single test and you did it -cool! I was surprised that the curves down low were so similar, I would have thought the twins would have spiked torque early in the lower rpms - very interesting.
Thank you Richard for all your content, I enjoy having your videos playing in the background and listening to them, if you have ever considered doing a pod cast style show where you talk about these things I know I'll be happy to listen 😁
You are great Rich! Thank you and the gang that set you free to do this. Steve Brûlée’ is another great guy. These videos make me so happy to get to see! Thank you so much.
Fantastic tech Mr Holdener. Thankyou😁 The $850-$1000 on3 94mm and 107mm turbos would be very interesting! A 427 ls corvette made close to 1300whp with the 107mm here on youtube
I'm glad Richard shows these videos. So many people think that just because you throw twins on that you can count on double or tripling the output. There are many that believe it will be the same size twins gain over the single BC its double the size. All about proper sizing and ring gap with tuning. Richard is the man!
I kept waiting for that thing to hang a rod out the side. You must be have WAY more luck than me, but when I got over 1,000 Hp and 1,000Fpt the stock rods either bent or broke. I can't imagine making 1,200 or 1,400 with stock rods!! I just found your channel. I am a long time Big Block Builder and loved this video. Great info.
Its different load on a dyno compared to street, so the stuff that survives on engine dyno may send a rod when the weight and load of a car and drivetrain are added.
Just found this channel,I was so confused not much anymore,I'm getting me another job..lol or draw the line on ideas.Thank you Richard 👍'd & subscribed.
Thank you, thank you, thank you... Been waiting for this test for a long time. Started building a pretty close build to this a couple years ago but life etc. got in the way. Always new that it would be a cheap monster. I would love to see the difference between the twin gt45's and the s480 with a cam that was purposefully designed for the back pressure of each one. PS... YOU HAVE ONE OF THE WORLDS GREATEST JOBS... I'm seriously jealous.
Richard, could you do a vid all about cylinder compression ratios, octane numbers, and timing. Its the background content that ppl dont know about boosted motors and performance builds.
Big block Chevys have a special place in my heart, my paw paw has been bracket raced since the 70s and quit in 2004 and for as long as I can remember like back in 96 when I was 6yo he has always had some evil sounding big blocks sounds I will never forget!! You just cant beat how a healthy high compression big block Chevy sounds
That was a great video , I learned a lot from it . I think for the long run I’d probably go with twins because they’re inexpensive to replace and the back pressure is a lot lower
This is more like it!! Great comparison of Turbos! It would be cool to see a 4 cylinder vs 6 cylinder vs v8 with a horsepower percentage increase with a single, and a twin turbo setup. Thank you sir!! Keep the fun and educational content coming! - Subscriber, Dan
From what ive seen of dyno runs and the boost number they run, the bigger enines have higher gains with less boost. So v8 would probably have the highest gains.
I hear ya there... but then there's those darn Honda 4 cylinders! 1100hp 1200hp 2.4 liters? Watch #BOOSTEDBOYZ Kyle has an MR2 with a K Series Twin Turbo that's over 1000 hp! I'm no import fanboy but that's impressive!! A hp per liter shootout would be sweet!
That's true but it still ran 979 hp @ 29 psi with a K24! That equates to 408 hp per liter!! Where the 7.4 liter 454 @1200 hp is still only making 162 hp per liter!! A 7.4 liter would have to make 3,019 hp to be making 408 hp per liter!
The only thing I wish you had was the Turbine a/r. That's why the single starts to choke at 700hp and 10psi. They work better at higher boost for a couple reasons: the compressor efficiency is higher with higher boost, there is higher manifold pressure relative to back pressure or drive pressure and it keeps the whole system under pressure. With a larger turbine housing they will do way better for bigger engines or higher airflow. There is nearly a direct inverse relationship between turbine ar and peak drive pressure. This was awesome man, thanks.
Great video i definitely vote for the twin Ebay turbos setup at that price for about the same power for a fraction the price and better on the motor with lower back pressure that's a win win
Thanks for all your research. What a time to be alive! In the 60' and 70's, if a backyard mech was getting "1 pony per cube", he had accomplished something. Now, motors like the LS/LT platform (5.3 ltr) are rated at 355 hp/ 390 torque and that is the baseline for the backyard mech to START with. With simple " bolt on parts", someone can easily double their HP / torque and have some fun. However, on the downside, I look at all my fav muscle cars now, knowing that a slightly tweaked factory truck could rip the doors off them and am sort of sad. What I wouldn't give to be 30 years younger, have the truck I have now and a bit more time.

But anyway, Can you do a video testing high dollar turbo's vs cheap Ebay turbo's and maybe carbureted duel vs single plane intake's. Thanks again.
@@richardholdener1727 thank you for your time and efforts explaining & spreading awesome high quality and detailed information in a very interesting & simple way for us to understand in a video that is so much fun and exiting to watch I can't thank you enough sir👑
@Richard we often struggle with to restrictive turbine housing for some factory position turbo - Please test what is better maxing boost on small turbine housing or lower boost but more timing !
good lord 7:15 that thing comes alive! I know not as desirable but can you run some combos and tests on TPI 350. turbo cam nitrous etc. seems like third gens are making a little comeback.
@@FredAllenBurge that depends if you are doing the fab yourself or paying someone to do it. The EFR saves money on fab work and on other parts, and probably most importantly is the tight package. In the german car world the engine bays are pretty compact so I can see the value. also there is something to be said for explosion rated turbine housings that some brand name turbos have for those that are interested in that.
Great videos! Keep them coming. I would like to see you design and build combinations that would fit in a car. That is what most people are doing and most of what I see you do will only fit in a Dyno room..
Suggestion for a future turbo comparison video: Run dual turbos appropriately sized with varying plumbing configurations between the exhaust port and the turbo. I'm very interested in seeing how variations in the volume of air between the exhaust port and the turbo (call this hot mess "the exhaust manifold"), the length of the run between the exhaust port and the turbo inlet, and the manner in which exhaust gasses are pooled/collected ahead of the turbo inlet. From what I've studied of turbocharging, the efficiency of the turbocharger should increase inversely proportionally to both the volume of exhaust manifold and the length of the exhaust manifold. That said, I think that the location of the collector and manifold plumbing format is going to have an impact. Additionally, with the exhaust ports having a cross-sectional area of about 1.9 inches² a 1-5/8 diameter tube between the head and a collector into the manifold should minimize available exhaust expansion opportunity in the manifold and maximize turbo pressure development. I'm curious to know how a log manifold performs compared with this. How about stacking a turbo onto the end of a flipped stock exhaust manifold? And whether there's any advantage to creating equal-length exhaust port primary pipes between the head and the header, or more simply running a straight pipe between the port and the turbo collector? Should the exhaust run in one pipe leading up to the turbo inlet or would dumping the collector straight into the turbo inlet work fine? Is there an advantage to staggering the collectors, like 3x 2-into-1 or is a straight 4-into-1 better? Unradiused steps in exhaust pipe diameter create wave reflections and superpositions in the exhaust stream that can help to scavenge ports - are there advantages or disadvantages to including such a step at the head with a manifold that does not exactly match the port size/shape? Is there an advantage to including a large or small step in exhaust diameter immediately before the turbo inlet, or before the collector? Obviously, there's a step in the collector that's almost unavoidable. Similarly to steps, square wells that waves travel over also create wave reflections on both sides of the well. Can such annular wells be used in turbo applications as a means of positively smoothing the inlet gas pulses?
I love the way you analyze your data. Every other RUclips clip. " how much boost are you running"? Uhh doesnt matter. Its boost vs back pressure. What good is 30 in the front if you have 20 in the back that cant get out. I could swap my intake and 102 for 30mm throttle body and triple my boost pressure. When you have an s480 and it's running 12psi wide open you know that thing is doing work!!!
Outstanding, this is the kind of stuff I'm trying to learn about. For a guy like me (LS neanderthal) this kind of information gives me a starting place to learn and experiment with a reasonable budget. You're doing a great job with the content don't slow down, come on down to Texas and help me throw one of these in my pinto
Ehh, all engines hate boost when tuned poorly. Guys have been beating them to death for years. I would like to see a heads, cam and intake with the S480.
Anthony Thomas I was talking about "junkyard" like the guy above originally said. The stock rotating assembly is what I was talking about, good parts can make any engine a beast unless it's an oldsmobile😂
I'm a die hard ford guy and I've seen 340s outrun big blocks many times and they were potent street cars in lets say a dart or cuda...but there's something to be said about how powerful/potent the 351 Cleveland/Boss engines were...just look at the career of drag racer bob glidden,multiple championships with Cleveland powered cars to the point the NHRA banned it to usher in the 500" rule and forcing the 351 Cleveland powered out of pro stock...so glidden builds a 500" cubic inch engine based on the Boss 429 were he dominated pro stock once again with multiple championships with that combination!
Thanks gor very informative content. Please consider boost testing 80's vintage Chrysler 4 cylinder motors (2.2, 2.5). Am curious about power potential.
Another great video Richard! I have a few questions -how reliable are these turbos -do you have a link for these turbos -on a NA engine, a H-pipe improves HP. Would a H-pipe improve HP with the twin turbo setup -many moons ago, the theory was to breakup the vortex exhaust flow out of the turbo(s) by using a 90deg bend at the turbine outlet. Your setup used straight pipes, old wives tale-what say you Thank you.
@@dj4monie I agree X is better than H pipe. However a H-pipe with Richard's setup is an easy install, and possibly a convenient location for wastegates.
@@aaronjames11 I'm not convinced that a single, physically larger turbo and all the plumbing required to connect the two banks, is easier to fit than two smaller turbos hung off the exhaust manifolds/headers. Ultimately, IMHO, the reduced exhaust back pressure would trump and motivate me to engineer a way to fit a twin turbo setup. If auto manufacturers install/run twins on their V-engines, surely as hot rodders, we can do the same.
@@ts302 Damn right, but it does take more effort to get everything up and running properly most of the time. More shit means more shit to go wrong, and you need to gather up the budget for things like a second wastegate, a more complex exhaust system post-turbine, a specialised intercooler, etc. If you've got the time and skill, or the money, to invest in thoroughly engineering your set-up it's fantastic. If you don't, the single set up will get the job done with fewer points of failure and fewer opportunities to make a mistake and screw yourself. So I guess the real question is what do you value more, peak potential or easy gains?

His bike absolutely destroyed my old fully built bike in every single way, handling, power, ergonomics, suspension, braking, all of it
Great job Richard , with stock bottom end, nice!!!
Richard you are the best guy on RUclips , I cant stop watching your videos so thank you! and thanks for letting me know that my heads are not so good= 317 heads . But anyway, Can you do a video testing high dollar turbo's vs cheap Ebay turbo's and maybe carbureted duel vs single plane intake's. Thanks again.
have lots of single vs dual plane intake tests, check out the EBay turbo vs Summit S475 video
Tim we just watched the gt 45 vs the s480 in this video rite here. Lots of good info. Kudos Ritchard!!!
I appreciate all this fantastic data for free thank you Richard
Am a subscriber.. such a amount of valuable information and details!!
Keep it up champ👑
Thanks for the sub!
@@richardholdener1727 thank you for your time and efforts explaining & spreading awesome high quality and detailed information in a very interesting & simple way for us to understand in a video that is so much fun and exiting to watch
I can't thank you enough sir👑
Yes, lots of really good information here. Thank you.
@Richard we often struggle with to restrictive turbine housing for some factory position turbo - Please test what is better maxing boost on small turbine housing or lower boost but more timing !
good lord 7:15 that thing comes alive!
I know not as desirable but can you run some combos and tests on TPI 350. turbo cam nitrous etc. seems like third gens are making a little comeback.
Thanks for the back pressure stuff and all the other data
I’d like to see that on3 107mm on the big block Orr.. just a LS 6.0. You should test that On3 turbo. Do it. Do it
Absolutely!!! With the 11 blade billet wheel
@@dj4monie $300 worth of turbos vs. $3000 worth of turbos lol, you're gonna have a hard time convincing many people that that would be worth it.
@FredAllenBurge the On3 107mm is around 1000$, really close to the s480 in comparaison at the end.
@@FredAllenBurge that depends if you are doing the fab yourself or paying someone to do it. The EFR saves money on fab work and on other parts, and probably most importantly is the tight package. In the german car world the engine bays are pretty compact so I can see the value. also there is something to be said for explosion rated turbine housings that some brand name turbos have for those that are interested in that.
You thinking about buying it? Or do you want him just to spend all that money cuz you want to see it? Lol
Love all this info you provide in the videos
I’m a Ford guy and is still my favorite channel on RUclips right now. Can’t wait for some Coyote content
I ain't a Ford fan but I totally agree
Anthony Thomas I meant that in the way of he’s mainly been doing LS stuff with the sprinkle of hemi/2v stuff.
I like all cars really but die hard bow tie guy... Love the LS engines
Thanks for the knowledge.
These videos are awesome. I would like to see more cheap supercharger options. How to make a manifold to adapt and tune.
another great video richard, really appreciate what you are doing!!
Great videos! Keep them coming. I would like to see you design and build combinations that would fit in a car. That is what most people are doing and most of what I see you do will only fit in a Dyno room..
This is one seriously fantastic video Richard! Thank you!! :)
I would like to see you do a Small Block Ford 302/5.0 . with twin turbos ! .
Lots of good info an thanks for moving your head to the bottom right corner
Suggestion for a future turbo comparison video:
Run dual turbos appropriately sized with varying plumbing configurations between the exhaust port and the turbo. I'm very interested in seeing how variations in the volume of air between the exhaust port and the turbo (call this hot mess "the exhaust manifold"), the length of the run between the exhaust port and the turbo inlet, and the manner in which exhaust gasses are pooled/collected ahead of the turbo inlet.
From what I've studied of turbocharging, the efficiency of the turbocharger should increase inversely proportionally to both the volume of exhaust manifold and the length of the exhaust manifold. That said, I think that the location of the collector and manifold plumbing format is going to have an impact. Additionally, with the exhaust ports having a cross-sectional area of about 1.9 inches² a 1-5/8 diameter tube between the head and a collector into the manifold should minimize available exhaust expansion opportunity in the manifold and maximize turbo pressure development. I'm curious to know how a log manifold performs compared with this. How about stacking a turbo onto the end of a flipped stock exhaust manifold? And whether there's any advantage to creating equal-length exhaust port primary pipes between the head and the header, or more simply running a straight pipe between the port and the turbo collector? Should the exhaust run in one pipe leading up to the turbo inlet or would dumping the collector straight into the turbo inlet work fine? Is there an advantage to staggering the collectors, like 3x 2-into-1 or is a straight 4-into-1 better? Unradiused steps in exhaust pipe diameter create wave reflections and superpositions in the exhaust stream that can help to scavenge ports - are there advantages or disadvantages to including such a step at the head with a manifold that does not exactly match the port size/shape? Is there an advantage to including a large or small step in exhaust diameter immediately before the turbo inlet, or before the collector? Obviously, there's a step in the collector that's almost unavoidable.
Similarly to steps, square wells that waves travel over also create wave reflections on both sides of the well. Can such annular wells be used in turbo applications as a means of positively smoothing the inlet gas pulses?
I love the way you analyze your data. Every other RUclips clip. " how much boost are you running"? Uhh doesnt matter. Its boost vs back pressure. What good is 30 in the front if you have 20 in the back that cant get out. I could swap my intake and 102 for 30mm throttle body and triple my boost pressure. When you have an s480 and it's running 12psi wide open you know that thing is doing work!!!
Great job Richard 👍
That torque curve is awsome!
These uploads are always exciting and I can't click them fast enough. Thank you for doing this!
Great video, thanks for posting.

Great videos, Sir!
I never get tired of watching your very informative vids, which is ALL OF THEM.

Badass content! Thanks love it
That was great, I loved it.
Thank you for what you do
Thank you!
Outstanding, this is the kind of stuff I'm trying to learn about. For a guy like me (LS neanderthal) this kind of information gives me a starting place to learn and experiment with a reasonable budget. You're doing a great job with the content don't slow down, come on down to Texas and help me throw one of these in my pinto
Awesome video. How about a junkyard 460 BBF with turbos next??
Don't those kinda hate boost? I've heard horror stories but I don't know how true that is
Ehh, all engines hate boost when tuned poorly. Guys have been beating them to death for years. I would like to see a heads, cam and intake with the S480.
Anthony Thomas I was talking about "junkyard" like the guy above originally said. The stock rotating assembly is what I was talking about, good parts can make any engine a beast unless it's an oldsmobile😂
excellent content!
Thank you. Nice video
Been waiting for this video thanks.
So much good info thanks 🙏
You listened to the commentors about the graph being blocked by the pip of you. That's great.
Great video 👍
Great videos! I subscribed! Thanks
Sorry for all the paragraphs but I didn’t know who else to talk to lol your the best
Very good!
I'm a die hard ford guy and I've seen 340s outrun big blocks many times and they were potent street cars in lets say a dart or cuda...but there's something to be said about how powerful/potent the 351 Cleveland/Boss engines were...just look at the career of drag racer bob glidden,multiple championships with Cleveland powered cars to the point the NHRA banned it to usher in the 500" rule and forcing the 351 Cleveland powered out of pro stock...so glidden builds a 500" cubic inch engine based on the Boss 429 were he dominated pro stock once again with multiple championships with that combination!
Great info!!! Thanks!
Love ur channel
Was thinking about trying this on a 420 rear wheel HP on motor 383 SBC we have.
Thanks gor very informative content. Please consider boost testing 80's vintage Chrysler 4 cylinder motors (2.2, 2.5). Am curious about power potential.

Another great video Richard! I have a few questions
-how reliable are these turbos
-do you have a link for these turbos
-on a NA engine, a H-pipe improves HP. Would a H-pipe improve HP with the twin turbo setup
-many moons ago, the theory was to breakup the vortex exhaust flow out of the turbo(s) by using a 90deg bend at the turbine outlet. Your setup used straight pipes, old wives tale-what say you
Thank you.
What he said. Singles are easier to plumb and fit under a hood. If you gotta sand rail then twins all day 😎
@@dj4monie I agree X is better than H pipe. However a H-pipe with Richard's setup is an easy install, and possibly a convenient location for wastegates.
@@aaronjames11 I'm not convinced that a single, physically larger turbo and all the plumbing required to connect the two banks, is easier to fit than two smaller turbos hung off the exhaust manifolds/headers. Ultimately, IMHO, the reduced exhaust back pressure would trump and motivate me to engineer a way to fit a twin turbo setup. If auto manufacturers install/run twins on their V-engines, surely as hot rodders, we can do the same.
@@ts302 Alright if you got the room then do twins 🤘
@@ts302 Damn right, but it does take more effort to get everything up and running properly most of the time. More shit means more shit to go wrong, and you need to gather up the budget for things like a second wastegate, a more complex exhaust system post-turbine, a specialised intercooler, etc. If you've got the time and skill, or the money, to invest in thoroughly engineering your set-up it's fantastic. If you don't, the single set up will get the job done with fewer points of failure and fewer opportunities to make a mistake and screw yourself.
So I guess the real question is what do you value more, peak potential or easy gains?
I'm proud of you, rich

Great video
Should have shown the overlay of the single turbo and the twin for comparison!
Great stuff !
