Default question about turbo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok i know this sounds crazy as hell. but i think i might give it a shot. ok...im gonna buy some rotory motors that have turbo on them. now is it possible to twin turbo a 4 cyl???????. so heres my idea. get my heads made there where 2 exhust pipes conect to the turbo to it. then do the same for the other 2 left over holes. and when i mean holes i mean the exhust holes from the block. and the holes i would be using would be (starting from left to right from disturbtor cap) first hole to the third. then the secound hole to the fourth. so does anyone out there feel that could work?? or is it just dumb as ****. thanks

the honda motors don't flow enough to benefit from a TT set up...by the time it spooled, you will have redlined.

theres nothing wrong w/ tt ing a 4 cylinder, but TTing a honda is not going to work.

Kind of an expensive project, but it should work. There are quite a few twin turbo
setups that work although they arent the ideal setup, they will work.

DragII's spool time estimates are a little off. Should be able to spool in
at a decent rpm considering how small stock turbos are.

I'm gonna tell you the same thing i did when you posted this same question in the EF/CRX forum: The exhaust pulses will be extremely far from ideal. Not only will you have half the exhaust pressure as normal, but there will be a much greater delay between each pulse.
So: half the exhaust pressure, twice as must time between exhaust pulses. Those stock turbos would probably reach full boost between 2.5-3k in a single setup. I think you would be looking at a realistic range of 5-6k before they even spool fully. YOU DO THE MATH.
This has been done before, and the results are not good.

it is, just slap a a big ole t4 on there and youll get the same power, beef the internals and get her to rev to 11k, thats over 6k rpm of boost.
its an unreasonable amount of money for what it can do.
