i do belive that is why turblow is doing it because he is bord and needs a project. if any thing it gives you the ability to say i have a twin turbo civic.
i wonder if a quad turbo with four motorcycle turbos would be posible. mbay not enough room

abaz's setup was pretty nice, whiteys was kinda all over the place w/ that manifold.

Been there, done that, not worth it. Although I'm still glad I did it.

What's the count up to now Whitey?

last time I checked, there were at least 14 people who have tried to claim credit for your setup on the web.

Yeah Im not doing it because its "worth it"

I know some single setups would beat it

What Im asking is would it be good for the street sleeper I posted about in the first post. I want a stoplight racer that would make boost early, hook up and run

Would one smaller ball bearing turbo do that much easier? Or would 2 ihi's or kkk's spool even faster without kealing over?

wouldnt it be better to have it spool at 5000 rpms and have the wheels break loose than spining them from the start. thats just my preferance. but i think the twin turbo will work it is still going to build boost and it will be pimp


just do it

I dont like the feeling of having to wait for the power, this car is a daily drive and I usually dont downshift from 4th or 5th and just kinda touch the gas and the cars a dog

I want something that will have power there

Maybe a single ball bearing gt28rs with a smaller trim would be good

But Id like to make a twin turbo work, need info on spool times and boost regulation though

ive thought about doing one kinda like the the newer cat engines and that cummins twin kit with the one really small turbo for hella low rpms then the bigger turbo to take over at high rpms. im more of a hook up and go kinda guy but for what i do with the car, aka little to now racing, its fun as hell to slam through gears flarin the tires damn near to 5th gear
