MR2 guys did twin-charge. Don't know if twin turbo is worth while. The 1.6L don't pump out a lots of exhaust.

**this is a trick! Voodoo is just waiting for you guys to say it can't be done so he can use it as a motivation!**

BITE THE BULLET! di ba!

It can be done ,but WHY?
I have a friend that twin turboed his LS Integra. Looked cool and all ,but other than that it achieved no more power than what 1 turbo could do.

Another friend of mine that works at the shop w/ me is in the process of twin chargeing his 86 (which was just turbo before).

IMO Even twin charge is more or less a novilty. Todays selection of aftermarket turbos can produce the power that twin charging could achive w/ almost no turbo lag at all. With alot less complication in tuning.
My 2 cents.
C-YA!!

nicest turbo job I saw was on a jaguar xke. 3 turbos, little ones, 1 per every two exhaust ports. all polished up and nicely done, so can be done easily, but on this type of engine, 1 would do easily

Quad Turbo, 1 tiny turbo for each port

VooDoo · 12-09-2004, 04:02 PM

was thinking about it since CT9's and CT12's are relatively cheaper than the T3's around here... but its really just a thought since i have the T3/T28/T5 (or whatever turbo it is) already...

well, you can twin charge if you have a supercharger to begin with, as we all know, a turbo can make more power than a supercharger can, so addint a turbo, will get you the power, while letting you keep the power you already gained wtih the supercharger..

it's complicated, but even just 1 hp is worth it...

as for TT, why would you do it to a 1.6L I4..?

that's like putting a 4 inch exhaust on an NA, it's just overkill..

ILLICITDRIVER · 12-09-2004, 08:23 PM

damn Razo...you are a post whore

Rust_bucket · 12-09-2004, 09:27 PM

I was planning to do it... It is VERY possible to do but it's more exotic than anything else...

please explain why you think it's overkill? if we can run 4-throttles on an NA 4 banger then why can't we put twins on a 4A-G?

Rust_bucket · 12-09-2004, 10:18 PM

He's right... 2 turbos are overkill... One turbo is better than two in a 4 banger set-up... sorry...

micro214_kp61 · 12-09-2004, 10:20 PM

i need explanation on why 2 small turbos are overkill when a lot of guys are running big-ass single turbo?

Rust_bucket · 12-09-2004, 10:25 PM

one reason is it's hard to accomodate space for 2 turbos. Plus with the technology behind today's new turbo designs and wastegate designs, a larger turbo generally has the ability to spool up quite quickly and also having the benefit of flowing large amounts of CFM's due to their size... " big-ass single turbo" is not the right idea either though...
