why you need so many? lol one for each cylinder??

if you want more power
worry about tuning, internal back pressure and boost creep instead

need help with turbo? I am in pasadena..

hey that would really help if you post all the picture

Well, I only have one turbine, piping from the engine to the turbine, no waste gate yet, no intercooler yet, and one piping to the exhaust ...and I need to get a hold of the header too... any ideas ...

wtf? dude, you bolt the turbo manifold on where your stock exhaust manifold goes...then you bolt on the turbo, and connect the downpipe to your turbo, and put on the wastegate as well...afterwards, you mount the intercooler where you want it, and then have the piping custom welded it if isn't already pre-bent...make sure that you have a shop put a bung in the pipe going from the intercooler to the intake manifold so that you can put your blow off valve in...then you need to tap your oil pan so that you can connect an oil return line...you also need to figure out a way to get an oil feed line to the turbo as well...put in your new injectors and then wire in your a/f computer and you should be good to go...lemme know if i forgot anything...

Thanks yall... everything sounds good...only good though when I'm actually working on it... I had a friend who has a H22A on his accord with a bolt on 2 turbine connecting one after another with 2 cold air intake. It ran smooth and cranked 545 bhp on the dyno, until something happened... there was a leakage in the oil line and one of the compressor on the one of the turbo blew out and his car jerked really fast... I thought it was on crack... what do you guys think happened?? What would be his mistakes.... any ideas???

... you have to see it to believe it... but yes.. two turbine..one connect via an ceramic coated pipe. It sounds naturally aspirated ... but its all volumetric power... whether you believe it or not. .... anything is possible ....

two turbos on a honda are just not worht it(unless your a V6 owner). why do you think most twin turbo guys go with a single BIG setup. dual rotor RX-7's go single or a tri rotor with upgraded secondary. Stay with a single and get a big *** slug, two is too much of a hassle, unless you want it for show or some kind of proof that it can be done.

excellent book btw, i read it
if you are not sure what the hell is going on, you are not really for turbo.
learn before wasting anymore money, save it for a turbo seal rebuilt later down the road

anyways, got any picture mang? how your buddy connect two turbine with one compressor? I am sure they would not spin at the same rpm, ever with equal length manifold and such and such

I am really skeptical, throw me some picture.
