The engine in the Supra was producing approximately 860hp without nitrous, and while this sounds like a mind altering level of power to the average enthusiast, it wasn’t enough to win a championship in a field of cars regularly producing 1000hp (and some competitors running close to 1200hp). These results were promising however, Fredric and Papadakis Racing are in it to win championships and they need more than just ‘promising’.

The first time out with a brand new car – our Full-Race turbo system allowed driver Fredric Aasbo to win the first round of the season. We got on the dyno and managed (with nitrous oxide). It had to fit a massive turbocharger like the BorgWarner 9280, rated for 110 lb/min of airflow and featured two ports for twin TiAL Sport MV-R external wastegates. The turbo manifold connects the turbo to the engine, and is the foundation for the entire turbo system. This is done on modern vehicles to simplify component packaging, reduce ‘turbo-lag’ and help meet emissions requirements but it could be a bottleneck when chasing the massive horsepower levels required to win a Formula Drift championship.įull-Race constructed our ‘top mount’ turbo manifold to suit the 2-Port Supra’s cylinder head and unique chassis. These outlets flow almost directly into the two scrolls of the exhaust turbine. This means the 6 cylinder engine only has two exhaust outlets, one for cylinders 1-2-3, and one for 4-5-6.
While the Twin-Scroll layout is not new, the application of it in this engine uniquely uses an IEM (integrated exhaust manifold) incorporated into the cylinder head of the engine. This means there is a smoother, consistent delivery of energy to the turbine shaft of the turbocharger, resulting in better turbine response and engine power. Rather than a single grouping of six cylinders paired in one scroll with an exhaust pulse every 120° of engine rotation, there are two groups of three with a pulse every 240°. This grouping of cylinders greatly reduces the exhaust pulse interference in the turbine entry. In the case of the B58, cylinders 1-2-3 are grouped together to flow into the first scroll, or volute, of the turbine cylinders 4-5-6 are grouped for the second scroll of the Twin-Scroll arrangement. Twin-Scroll means that the engine’s cylinders are grouped into a pair by their firing order. The turbocharged B58 engine in the 2020 Supra utilizes a Twin-Scroll manifold/turbine design to produce 335 horsepower and 365 lb∙ft of torque. While preparing their Toyota Supra for the 2020 Formula D season Papadakis Racing turned to us for the turbo system to achieve 1000hp with their “2 port” B58, 3.0 liter, inline 6-cylinder engine. For the last 10 years, since the debut of BorgWarner’s twinscroll EFR turbochargers – Full-Race supplied turbo systems to Papadakis Racing, the most winning drift team in history. Over these last 2 decades, we’ve seen the thinking change about turbochargers – and the tools used to design them. And with customers in 100 countries around the world – we’re super dedicated to making happy customers. But every day, we help someone, somewhere, with these calculations. And we can source any turbocharger a customer needs (plus, we crunch the numbers for them). We have arrangements with major OEM manufacturers.

From major automakers and OEM suppliers to professional race teams, we’re helping professionals make the right decisions about turbochargers. Over the years we’ve formed an amazing set of partners. We’ve been in business for 18 years and the only thing we talk about every day is turbocharging. Our customers want to blast down a track at the fastest possible speed…as much as their hardware, and physics, can allow. I run product design engineering at Full-Race Motorsports in Phoenix, AZ.
are helping us to bring new ideas to life and build more value in the products we create. I’m Mathew Velders. This is the first blog post of a series, so make sure to sign up to the mailing lists if you want to see how our partners at SOLIDWORKS, Creaform and Jabil Inc.
