Default Turbonetics TNX-122

For those of you that did not attend SEMA 2008 (like me ).

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 engine”, says Turbonetics Marketing Manager, Tyler Tanaka.

Compared against a Turbonetics T3 turbo


The turbo is capable of producing over 2500 horsepower, while supporting 50-60 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.
Can you say over 150lbs/min of airflow!

I think you mean 250lbs/min.

When I asked them about the turbine side the guy told me it was an F1 wheel. I thought that the G wheels were the highest flowing turbines, but I'm far from an expert.

Yeah, that's absolutely insane. This is going to be the new bad boy turbo out there for all the single turbo drag radial cars.
