first of all...can i do it? i've got two stock turbos out of a 3000GT, and an r34 intercooler core. I was planning on using one of the turbos until funds allowed for a larger t3/t4. but i got to thinking about rebuilding both and doing a twin turbo setup. Any thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.

 

I think that it'll be better if you use 1 turbo, just because it would take to freakin long to spool 2 of them. If you could get both to get full boost at a reasonable rpm, then go for it.

 

what if i found a way to set it up like the supra, just on a 4 cyl scale? sequential. so they spool up one at a time?

 

If it was a good idea don't you think a lot of people would of done it by now?

 

agree

 

listen to Etylorcen ...

 

its a waste of money, why? because it is.

 

I say go for it man, dont listen to anything they have to say, I have yet to hear one good solid reason why you cant, have you seen the Supra with 3 turbo's? Im sure people told him the same thing before he started that...for those of you that havent seen it, here is a pic for you

the lag will be rediculous. Trust me.

 

Room in your engine bay, and a lot more $$$ . so i wouldnt do it but if you want too gooo foor it.

 

ive seen a quad turbo mercedes already , but it doesnt mean it ran and ran right
you knwo who to tlak to . . . DRT Racing , they have a civic hatch with i forget what motor in it twin turbo . ask thme the problems they have had with it . the thing runs pretty fast, but there are guys eith single turbos running just as fast and faster. im sure it took alot of work to even get it to that point , but check them out , they actually did it so they knwo best.

personally for a street car i dont see it happeneing . . . well unless you got bucko bucks

 

that supra looks like a goddamn bowl of mandrel bent spaghetti.

 

has anyone done it by now?

its like an intercooled JRSC...we hear a lot about it, but where is it?

 

Good Point !!!!! on the JRSC intercooler

 

You DO know that he did that for it's ""SHOW" factor? He only makes like 600whp or something around there. A big single can make so much more on those MKIV's.

As for the "one good solid reason why you can't", because it's a WASTE OF MONEY! DRT has invested whoknowshowmuch $$$ into their twin turbo DRAG car. He could have saved money and went with a big single, LIKE EVERYONE ELSE...but he needs sponsors, thats why he chose the twin route. TO GET ATTENTION!

To anyone stupid enough to think they can slap on two turbos on a 4 cylinder and make it a street car..

 

Well since your already short on funds i would say don't do it. save the money for the t3/t4. also a while back some did do a twin turbo set up in a honda. It was some yellow hb with a h22 in it. but as is don't do it. A lot of people have enough trouble gettin room for one turbo (removal of ac,ps, stock fans)let alone two turbos

 

DRTs problems layed elsewhere besides the twin turbo setup.. Job from Turbo People did wonders for that car...

who the hell would change from dfi to aem though when you got some of the best dfi tuners in the area

 

I think that's strictly a $ makin business decision for them...doesn't make sense logically

 

The only twin turbo import that is worth a damn is bob norwood's max 4 dragster, and i dont know if you can even call it an import still. If you want to waste your money, then go ahead, we dont give a flip. For those of you telling him to do it, you are all ******* idiots. Art, lock this thread.

 

interpretation: Im a baby and there are people that dont see eye to eye with me...if I cant have everyone do everything my way...then its no way at all...

just a thought, but why do you care, I know the tri turbo supra was for show, but it worked, just like VoodooChild putting a 454 V8 in a supra and giving more boost than a 2JZ just to prove that it could do it... he ran in the 6's. if its not your money or time to waste, then why do you care if he does it or not, all he asked was it possible, the answer should have been a yes, if you didnt know how to do it, which obviously thats a no, then you shouldnt have said anything... there seems to be a large amount of people here that have a mentality similar to that of 6 year olds, I know that because I work in a school... its sad really

 

Yeah, we forgot you were the authority on what twin turbo imports work. You are gonna feel really stupid when someday someone makes a nice twin turbo setup. It can be done, and can work well. It may not put down as much max power a single can, but thats NOT the point of twin turbo. I think if you removed the words 'are, all' from your quote 'you are all ******* idiots' and made idiot singular.....it would about sum this up. Thanks.

good luck make sure you post your dyno numbers so you can prove me wrong

 

i saw a 4 cyl with twin turbo it ran a 12.1 something i will try to find his page and post it up.

hear are just some of ones i found, but I could not find the one I was talking about, after seeing that one soch dodge you would be able to tell that it really to do a twin turbo setup.

Look at the fear in this thread. Twin setups are not that complex and are chosen by oem's all the time because of space constraints and of course cost. You could easily do a streetable setup. The sizing of the turbos would be crucial. Don't be afraid to try something new. I would recommend internal wastgates due to space constraints as well. Two T-25's take up less space front to back than the T3-T4's.

Absolutely do it and prove all these guys wrong. Just don't expect magic dyno numbers or anything. Two small turbos generally equate to more rotating mass than one big turbo if I remember right. Performance wise you'll not be unique. For show appeal and install genious you will get lots of response.

Dare to be different!

If I had a dime for everyone that told me you couldn't make a 400whp streetcar out of a Honda.

 

hey send me your email adress i will send you a picture I drew up about a bi turbo, if you are interested.
