On a 4 pot?!

That's going to be an EPIC manifold.

There is a kit availble for the evo I've seen it fitted with a gt25 and gt40 iirc but its going to have to be on aftermarket management isn't it to do away with the afm surely :tard:

naked skydiving onto a church spire also hasn't been done before......

considering a 'redtop' would need about considerable modification to get past 300hp, and that is gettable with a single turbo..... why would you stick 2 on apart from car park bragging rights????

i've only seen it on some crazy evo show car type thing.... if 2 small ones were used, it would be very responsive..


go for it ........

this thread is TOTAL fail, on the flip side, i used to be a member of the renault 21 turbo owners club, and there WAS a 21 turbo with a twin turbo set up, was a work of art, im trying to find the thread on it, was about 6 years ago, and it worked!!

my mate had 2 21 turbo's, when they worked they were fooking quick but that was very rarely lol, he's currently looking for a decent 4wd one, is it the quaddra or something?

twin turbo is fookin pointless on a 4cyl IMO, even the skyline lads go single turbo a lot of the time so cant see y you would want to. save yourself the headache and just buy a let or supercharge an xe

Less of the naysaying please (http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=101086), we don't want this to be 100 pages of OMGWTFBALLS.

Await further design info from the OP.

i can't speak for the others, but the Nissan SR20 with the red cam covers, no matter which variant was actually officialy called a red top. None of this Halfords car park charva talk. lol

Ditto.

This will be quite the engineering challenge. I look forward to further posts from the OP. :)

BMW have done it on a four pot diesel and it works superbly. I know as I ran one for a few months.
They use a small turbo which comes in at very low revs then a larger turbo which takes over in the mid revs.
I am sure it would be an absolute fricking nightmare to create the manifold and management to run a system like that.
Not something for the likes of 'Turbow' man I think!

Yeah I saw that on top gear, pretty good design, I'm hoping this lad does it and gets it working no matter how "pointless" it may be on 4 cyls, it would be interesting to see and maybe pave the way for some awesome machines in the future. I just hope he has very deep pockets.

Mates dad had a twin turbo E60 diesel. I thought it was a six cylinder.

Agreed on it being very effective. You can't feel the transition between large and small and there was no lag. Nothing I noticed anyway, and when he had his hands on it my mate wasn't shy.
