i was justy wondering if any one has run a twin trbo setup on a 89 civic and if they could help me out on it i have an ls motor and am looking at running hondata for engine man but thats about all i know and am really interested if u got any ideasa on how to set it up it would be helpful thanks mj

 

One word, CUSTOM, and that means $$$$
I've seen it done before, but I don't see it being better then a properly sized turbo...

 

why would you want twin turbo? like the man said up above one good size turbo would do better. i think twin turbo is for like cars with 2 chambers some thing with two exhaust manifold. a car with 2 barrow. hope i explain it right.

 

Sell your ls motor and purchase a gsr motor...
Why you ask? because HKS make a twin-charged kit for gsr's that's why

 

do they really...... what kind of gains are they saying? just seems like overkill to me

 

Yeah they do. I think the kit is like 6,000-7,500...
I don't know the gains, but the supercharger kicks in low-end torque to avoid "turbo-lag" and at/or about 4500 rpm the turbo take over and that thing moves...

 

what a waste of money

 

I think HKS only produced that for one vehicle. I would rather spend my money on a build and have a little left over for my kit.

I think there would be a lot more turbo lag on a tt 4 cyl than with just 1 turbo. Reason being they are sharing the same exaust gases to spool. Anyway, twin turbo is for anything with a V in front of it V6 V8 V10 etc

 

This is the first that I've heard of this...i heard that some company "tried" it with no substancial gains.

BTW..any links?

HKS only made that as a prototype kit i believe... anyway that kit didnt make sh$t for power...i mean it made power but i have seen single turbo setups with alot more for alot less.

 

I don't remember the site but somewhere in NY there is a shop that made a drag TT hatch, do more research and learn about turbo's first. Be prepared to spend/waste lots of $$$

 

the only twin turbo civics i know of can only be found in some ricers head.

i hear so many kids say "yeah i just got a civic i am gonna twin turbo it!"

shhhyah you are.

 

the shop was drt and it was a white coupe(96 up style)

 

the only TT civic I know of is the DRT Drag civic. It uses a S/C to get rid of lag and then the Twins take over. MAJOR $$$$$$$$!!

 

2 turbo's up in the grille

 

you dont need two turbos. If 8 second drag hondas and 10 second street hondas have one turbo, then you definetly dont need two.

 

There is a VR6 VW with three turbos driving around in the Montreal Area.

WEIRD!

 

there was a meguiar intedra show car with a supercharger and a turbo. turbo magazine is also doing a supercharger and turbo setup on a v-6 mr2. also there was an article in either sports compact or turbo about some sort of sequential turbo setup being able to make insane levelsa of boost.

 

whats wrong with a TT car. it jus gives a larger area of power. instead of 4500+rpm like most t3/t4 setups.

my friend has a TT rx7 and its way better than a single turbo'd rx7.
the TT has power all throughout the rpm range. he did a single turbo setup for a customer and it has alot more HP but at high rpm and mostly for drag racing.
TT is all around power for autox or in my friends case drifting.

i mean yea. u can make more power outta one. but at what cost?? properly tuned TT will be my choice.

if it was more mainstream i'd go with it. but since its costly and single turbo apps are more common for the $$$ single turbo will be 99% of peoples choice.

 

well like a year or so ago there was a twin turbo h22 civic that popped up on this site.

What a coinsedence....I just happen to have found the issue today while cleaning up. My first thoughts when I saw the front cover before I tossed it to the side was, what a waste!

 

hey man, twin turbo isnt a horrible idea but it will cost a shitload of money. you really have to ask yourself if its worth it. im going twin turbo and even with me and my friend fabricating pretty much everything its costing as much as single turbo. im running a sequential setup, t-25 and t-3. the t-25 spools up to wutever psi i set the boost controller at then the extra gasses when its done spooling goto the t-3 turbo. im sure ill run it just to get some times down, but im doing it mostly for show. think about pricing a little bit more, i got sheet metal intake, fuel rail, throttle body, 2 turbos, intercooler w/ custom endtanks, then all custom piping + fuel management. the guy i got my fuelrail from had 307 hp on a chassis dyno with a single hybrid turbo. o well peace...

They didn't have a s/c.
