Twin-turbo

[tamrat]

some cars have twin-turbos, mostly on a 'V' engine. Is twin-turbo possible on second gens with straight 4? Just wondering!

I suppose anything is possible. The question is why bother?

if a single one cud make that much difference, just wanna hear about two turbos on a surf n even get one if i'm stupid enough. :-)

its pointless,
most twin turbo systems are progressive , so basically one comes in after the other, it doesnt actually make extra power,
if you look at most modified jap engines you will notice they actually remove the twin turbo system and fit a big single turbo as its gives more power and the power comes in quicker

what abt with parallel system? I definately think you cud get x2 power, I think.

but 2nd gen surfs go into limp home mode after 12psi as the internals cant handle too much more than that , and they run 8psi ish as standard , mine is running 11psi with the actuator spaced with 2 washers , so to be honest a twin-turbo system is not needed as you couldnt use all the pressure without modifying the internals ,
by which time youve spend enough money to just pay vince for a lexurf v8 conversion

thanks. Heads to an intercooler now, if i cud find one here.

an intercooler makes a big difference, ive got a top mount intercooler fitted and noticed the difference instantly. especially when already moving and then accelerating

did you do a body lift to get space under the hood? Thats what most ppls are sayin, "u need a body lift.".

[animal]

yeah i already had a 2" bodylift anyway but it would be tough to fit one without a bodylift, but a body lift is £70 for a kit and a few hours work to fit it

[tamrat]

i don't think they do body lifts here niether do have the tools n shippin is almost impossible.
