that is stupid. Twin turbos are not good for high hp numbers. Think about it. Any car that come facotry tt is most often replaced with a single turbo eventually. This is because they are good for spool times and what not but not actual hp number as they are small turbos. Plus I doubt that engine could spool two turbos.

mad props that's a lot of work. who cares if a single turbo could be better did you even read the post? it's more about doing something different for this guy obviously!

plus that's an amazing amount of effort he's put in to his car give him some credit!

i love seeing stuff like this, when people try new things, even if it doesn't work out. what if nobody tired new concepts with cars? where would we be now? I bet you would flame the first person that did ls/vtec because it was unproven and unexplored kind of like twin turbos on a honda or even on a sohc motor!

I hope he has even more fun and good luck with the monster motor!

bah! Why would you twin turbo it just so you can be original? Thats a stupid idea. I mean for one, the manifold design is shitty. I never said that they wouldn't spool fine, actually I said that they would pool nicely, they just dont make a lot of power. He is actually hurting himself and his engine with that setup. He obviously hasnt taken in the thought of fuel as he is burning up spark plugs. I can't wait until he boosts it and it blows. What do I know though? Just wait till you see me and my quad turboed B18!

-Sketch</TD></TR></TABLE>From http://www.i-supra.com

What's better, twin turbos, or a huge single turbo? Twin turbos are most advantageous over single turbos on larger displacement and split bank engine ('V' and Horizontally Opposed). On a small-moderate displacement single bank engine like the 2JZ, the merits of a twin turbo set up do not significantly out-weight the disadvantages


Thus on a 1.5 it would be be bad, and on a i-4 even worse. I figured they would know. And why is it that most rx-7 and supra owners will tell you that the best turbo upgrade is to convert to single turbo? The lag will be greater, but the horsepower will have a lot more potential. Plus there is the fact that, to get the manifold to spool the turbos properlly he would have to spend a lot in r&d. Otherwise he is going to be getting some f'ed up results.

And why would I be jealous of a tt 1.6? Ive got a nice little setup thats just itchin to go in....


Oh yeah! Papdakis has the money to properly develop such a sophisticated arrangement.

and read the signature! rx-7 turbo II?
