i need to know if u can twin turbo a civic and wat type of setup would i need to get it properly

 

pointless.

 

Absolutely utterly and completely pointless

 

Cool? Yes.

Expensive? Very.

Difficult? I'd say so.

Worthwhile? No.

 

Dude, you could put a quad turbo on a civic if you wanted to. It would take a ton of work to get everything setup correctly and tuned right. I have seen it done on a CRX before with ZDyne and 550's and fully built and all that running about 375 whp.... But you could get that out of a T3/T4....

 

I've never seen a quad turbo before, I was talking about the twin turbo.

 

Yeah twin turbo on a motor that has the exhaust ports on one side is pointless. Even twin turbo supras upgrade to single.

 

Twin turbo's are quite useless, and are more often used in motors such as a V6, or V8, or V12..which one turbo will boost each side of the cylinders. All it'd give you is a terribly long spool-up time....and the ability to say "I have a twin turbo civic...".

 

I don't know that I would say worthless. It seemed to work for Dodge's M4S concept car. (You have seen the movie "The Wraith".. right???) Twin turbo 2.2L 440 hp.

He's right, it's worthless... to that. Just get a single turbo.

Yeah, it worked well for them. Dodge also has millions to throw into a concept car. How many daily driven 4 cylinder cars do you see that have twin turbo's- And the twin turbo's actually pay off? I'll tell you this- Definently a lot less than you see daily driven 4 cylinder cars with single turbo's.

 

Actually I think PPG threw in alot of the money. Regardless, the question was wether it could be done. It obviously can be done. Is it practical? No, I agree with you there. Is it worthless? Obviously not.. if it builds boost it is not worthless, just not a very good value.

 

In conclusion, dont do it

umm twin turbos have faster spool up times dude :/

u will say that till you aren't fully spooled till like 6,000rpm and have to shift after a second of full boost

 

Pointless IMO.....classic noob question though...j/k BTW I still watch 'The Wraith' occaisonally.

 

I figure twin turbo applications are only good when you need to sequentially boost ... IE. huge V8's with a large turbo meant to achieve big numbers, and a smaller turbo to compensate for the lag the big turbo feels..

 

ok so... how bout another dumb question...

single turbo and a supercharger...

possible??

 

Yes, it's called a twincharger. Again, is it worth it? No.
