Idea: Twin Intercooled Options

[Inferno]

Several people have inquired in the past about Twin Turbo. More recently it was discussed that a Twin Turbo setup on a four-cylinder is completely pointless. We all know that turbo's create unwanted heat. I had the idea, while sitting in class today, of a Twin Intercooled engine. I don't know if anyone has ever done it, but I'd like to ask about it.

We all know that the 3S-GTE has a Top Mount Intercooler. I've read threads about putting a FMIC (Front Mount Intercooler) on a 3S-GTE engine. People have said it is possible, but it would need custom piping. So, this brought about the idea of a Twin Intercooled engine.

I figured if a person could mount a FMIC on a 3S-GTE (with custom piping of course), then why couldn't they simply connect it to the TMIC and have double the cooled air charge. I figure it would keep a high-powered engine MUCH cooler than normal. I also figured it was possible since there isn't a FMIC stock with the 3S-GTE engine, therefore there is the space to do it with.

Get back to me, people! I appreciate all who contribute!

1. boost pressure would drop by about 1psi

2. boost would come on later

3. puts mroe restriction on the system.

1+2+3= not good.

3000gt vr4's are twin intercooled as with 300zx TT's but that is because they have two turbos on v6 engines. the turbos are on opposite sides of the engine so they make the system symmetric to have the same restriction on both turbos to balance the system.
