thats a unique n custom setup..but personally..i'd prefer a single bigger turbo setup for our cars....

A bigger turbo will give more higher-end boost/torque right?

you'd probably have to use smaller turbos for a TT MR2 w/ only 1.0 2 cylinders spoolin em = /

i'm with MRQturbo on this ...
i think a single turbo, built to your needs, is the way to go with the MR2, or any other 4-banger. another turbo is just that ... another turbo ... and extra weight.

Depends on what you want. Two small turbos should spool faster than one big one. This means better driveability. One big turbo will make a bigger top end but a longer wait for it to spool up.

Two years ago, when Toyota was still in CART, they started using a single turbo set up for qualifying on big ovals. Thre reason, bigger H.P. which on an oval, where you're running wide open all the way around, is the way to go. On a road course, where driveabilty is a bigger issue than peak power, they always ran the twin turbo.

I guess you could develop a twin turbo setup that would produce as much peak HP as one large one but it wouldn't be easy and the plumbing would be tough.

Sorry off topic
Amodeo- I was just in wisconsin visiting last week
Hardly any Import up there i saw one Yellow MkII 92-93 turbo up there with a old guy with a grey beard driving
anyone give you a hard time for owning an import up there?

couldn't you also get a smaller turbo and a big one, to avoid the turbo leg but still have the top end of a big one?

Interesting...

i could be wrong but i think in a sequential setup identical turbos must be used but again.. i could be wrong.

mmm
pouya's car, lets just say it was impossible to keep up with it through the canyons...we hit up palomar a while ago, 360 Modena lead the pack of Mr2's NSX's and RX7s. Pouya stayed right behind the modena most of the time!

TRDGT · 01-25-2004, 07:11 PM

Nix, was it a red Modena owned by a Mr. McQuaid by chance?

NiX · 01-26-2004, 02:55 PM

The modena was red, I am not sure the name of the owner. I know his co-worker owns a viper who was supposed to be there as well, but got left behind to finish up work.

TRDGT · 01-27-2004, 12:17 AM

Yep that's him. Jeff (friend) has a blue with white racing stripes Viper GTS. Brad is the owner of Sigil Games. Used to be VP of Verant makers of Everquest.
