this may seem stupid...

I was watching a video the other day this showcased a couple tri-turbo supra's. Possible on a Z? Not for a daily driver (so no lame remarks ) It just spraked my interest... I had never heard of a tri-turbo setup. Pretty sweet.

 

I have seen a turbo and supercharger before on a motor.....but never a tri-turbo. Quad turbo's on V-8's and V-12's I could see.
They are probably running a turbo of of each 2 cylinders in the Inline-6 arrangement....coooool

 

I think I saw something about both twin-charging (turbo and super), and tri-charging(3 turbos). If I recall correctly the tri-charging system that was used was a sequential design, low-end, mid, and High boost. I forget the car, but the driver said it had virtually no lag. The twin-charging setup was wierd thoe (BMW I believe). I don't remeber which charger was set to power the low end or high end. The cars were turning huge numbers.

With a V engine it would be hard but not impossible to do.

 

That new Chrysler ME 4-12 has a quad turbo system running on a V12.. Link,... http://motortrend.com/future/concept...04_first_chry/

 

Holy God... Excerpt from article... This is an engineering statement," Bernhard says. The ME's AMG-developed 6.0-liter V-12 has an aluminum block and heads, two throttle valves, four catalysts, and dry-sump oiling. Each turbo has an intercooler, and boost is 1.4 bar, or roughly 20 psi. Compression ratio is 9.0:1. Its 850 horsepower was measured during extensive dyno testing in Germany, and its 850 pound-feet of torque is good from 2000 to 6000 rpm. "We started with an engine, and allowed no compromises to the engine whatsoever as we built a car around it," Bernhard explains. The quad-turbo V-12 is backed by a paddle-shifted seven-speed Ricardo double-clutch transaxle.
