twin turbo accord?

[F22-GURU]

Then why not Shoe-Horn a Gallardo motor into it.

Twin turbo is not impossible nor does it really have to be expensive.

Jeff Frank (admin at HMT) twin turbo'd a LS/VTEC which is 1.8L and made almost 300whp.

It cost him around $700 to do too, including the cost of the motor. Of course he has hook ups and crazy fabrication skills but still. You wouldn't have to pay for a motor and people are always selling small turbos really cheap. After that you just need fabrication skills.

what about twin charging? a turbo and a supercharger would be a sick set up. would that be a waist? i saw it done to a mini cooper once.

waste....someone did that to a wrx.

That LS VTEC Vid was tight

wouldn't it be possible to have twin turbo by having a smaller turbo and a larger turbo? so the smaller turbo will spool up quicker and then in the mid -> high rpms the big monster turbo takes over?

yea, but go ahead and try and fit that in the engine bay.

[JdmH22a92accord]

yeah our engine bays don't have too much space :-/

didnt some guy try to sell an F22 twin turbo manifold on ebay?

[high c]

i was actually thinking about doing this seriously like a year ago when i was building my current turbo set up...i think someday i will do it just for poops and haha's...

yeah its possible. it was stock on rx7 twin turbo engine. its called a seqential turbo setup where a small turbo actually helps spool a larger one. since rx7 have no lowend power and have a high redline of like 8.5-9k this worked really well...thus they had power down low from a peeshooter and power in high rpms from the bigger one.

No Skylines in the US, Geoff... quite sad. We don't have the luxury!

As for twin-charging, Nissan made the March Super Turbo... twin-charged from the factory. Little 3 cylinder that made like 120hp, I think (going from a very foggy memory). People have gotten them over 200hp. Of course, they're not in the US.

As for twin turbo, it's definitely doable. No performance gains can be had, but if you're going for a show car, you're looking at major points.

the twin charging (turbo and a supercharger) isn't too bad of an idea. they outlawed the setup in the WRC cause it made the cars toooo fast. drives were flying off the side of cliffs and running in the trees.

[deevergote]

Really? When I looked into it, I didn't hear much about it being all that reliable. Though I guess for a single run sort of build, it's good! Run it, rebuild it, run it again.

[Mike]

i saw on that show "trucks" that some semi's use twin charging

[sulimed]

well those WRC teams had the MONEY to make it work.
