hey guys check this out is this a misprint? How the f*ck do you have a twin turbo civic...i didnt think that was possible actually i know thats not possible...so what is the deal? here is a link and a quote below it.

"Estevez's talent however, has been devising unique insights into tuning cars: in 2001, the revised DRT Civic hit the competitive 9-second zone with a surprising twin-turbo setup. "I saw the original setup on the SPI CRX, but they couldn't get it to work," he recounts. "I tried the double configuration only half seriously, but made adjustments and made it work. We made power the first time we put it together." The twin turbo four-cylinder setup is good for a stout 640 HP at the wheels and has powered the DRT Civic to a best ever 9.49-second run at a recent NHRA Sport Compact event in Gainesville, Florida."

tell me what you think

i heard alot bout drt, so it wouldn't be fake.

dont really remember but it was in a super street mag back in the days. i think its a b18c1. heres the web site http://www.drtracing.com/drt.htm

 

DRT is from NY and that car is real.

 

does anyone have pics of that one yellow hatch that is h22a twin turbo?

 

If I'm not mistaken.. The DRT civic uses a supercharger to get rid of turbo lag. They don't use N20 at all.

 

They have more information on the car on their website: http://www.drtracing.com/drt.htm

Wheeeeeeeeee

 

you can see both turbos in the gill opening. One is smaller for quicker spool and the other is bigger for better top end power. Looks sick!

 

Worddddddd to twin turbo civics.

 

ive seen one with both the turbos where the intercooler should be..just sitting down there



Just like that

You could have a quad turbo civic (or any car for that matter) if there was enough room in the engine bay. The reason you don't see that many twin turbo small displacement engines is becuase it is not efficient. If you had a 5+ liter v8, it would be inefficient not to have twin turbos (or so I have read). Physics is some crazy stuff man.

 

A TT anything is possible..

TT Jetta..

 

that is just sick

nice

 

Damn dude, Jin WTF is up with the cost? $24 + $27k ? Thats insane - wouldnt be that hard I would thing... I mean the VR6 is a well, a 6... twin turbo isnt that big of a deal, just got 3 pistons per turbo... That price seems high as hell - I cant see why anyone would waste that much.

 

I totally agree with you.

I just posted that to make my point that anything TT is possible with a deep enough pocket.

I mean if you wanted a TT Jetta, why not just buy a TT s4. After all it is the same car.

BLASPHAMY!!..they are NOT the same car the S4 is SOOOOOOOOO much better in every aspect

 

It's built on the same chassis, seeing as how Audi and VW are like Honda and Acura.

 

yes its true i know ralphi from drt ,cool guy
oh yea its in nyc by the way

 

I've seen a tt Probe so yea there is definatly a tt civic.

 

Sounds similar to the ITR guys who say that our hatchback civics will never be their equals.

Why?

Just because... uuhhh.... because.... it's a type R. That's why dude.

The S4 has an actual V6, one turbo on each side of the engine. The VW VR6 engines are more like inline engines than V6's. It has 6 cylinders but only one cylinder head. As you can see by the headgasket in the pics of the VR6 twin turbo systems, the cylinders are staggered at a narrow angle, 28 degrees I believe. This makes for an engine that's only as long as a typical I-4 engine, and not as wide as a typical V6. It also has a single exhaust manifold like an inline engine.
