twin turbo????, hhmmmm i wonder Options

[scothaniel]

Twin charger setups were attempted by a number of 1st gen MR2 owners. Most complained of the extra complexity caused more trouble then benifit. Of course that was almost 20 years ago.

If you want a huge turbo to give you that massive top end, and something for that low end quickness then get nos - the quicker spooler upper!

yeah i guess NOS would work wonders for that.

ok #1) its not NOS thats a brand....its called nitrous...
its complicated, it takes time and effort and of course money...its in the long run CHEAPER then filling up a dumb bottle 100 times over in a season...its ALWAYS on and probably less stress on the motor...

think outside drag racing for a moment....like road coarse..how long do you think a bottle of nitrous is going to last you?

And yet, when I say NOS everyone knows what I'm talking about.

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...

the ONLY advantage of having a TT setup is... it sounds more aggresive. "My 500 horsepower, twin turbo pinto" vs. "My 500 horsepower turboed pinto."

Pinto Fo Lyfe.

ha ha thatz tight. 500 hp pinto. all i would say is woah **** if i saw one roll by

Volkwagens New Golf, gonna be released in the US as the new Rabbit. Has a Super and turbo charged eninge. Called the Golf TSI GT

Its a 1.4L with 170 bhp.

The Supercharger is used untill 2900-3000 RPM then the turbo kicks in to 6000 RPM.

With a heavier car then mine. Its faster of the line (but not for long )

......somebody use the 3rd gen RX7's sequential twin setup please!:P

[GMan]

Sequential not possible. Twins possible.
