twin turbo????, hhmmmm i wonder Options

[celiman05]

just a really crazy idea i thought up. would it be possible to twin turbo a 3sgte? could use the setup from a TT supra maybe. what do you think would be involved in trying this?

These people talking about twin turbos / twin charging a motor - very complicated and very expensive. For twin turbo you have a custom manifold, exhaust, intercooler system, full EMS and a ton of R&D time to find complementing turbo's and get them working together. For a twin charger you have a supercharger (obviously), full ems, and properly sized turbo. Not cheap, not easy.

thats wat i said.....its not easy..its not supposed to be...read my words

its complicated, it takes time and effort and of course money

thats not wat i was talking about...my point was the a twin charged operation is more feasable for say a road coarse, street car......where as a larger turbo that used nitrous would be more suitable for the drag strip 2 applications 2 different purposes....

you have to think about aspects of each side
1)nitrous is sharp, short lived, not usable over any period longer then a few seconds, bottle life/time, filling expenses, damage replacement costs

2) twin charging, standalone, fuel, manifolds...more stable over longer durations,

each has its own place and each has pros and cons....i was simply stateing to think beyond drag(spooling with nitrous) to the other arenas of motorsports...
example....i've seen a supra that used a 100 sumthing shot of nitrous to spool his larger bird eater turbo....but it was only good for a straight line...he would be up the creek w/o a paddle on any other course...
