LOL, you are killing me

Personally, I would never invest in this setup. A nicely sized single will do what 99% of what people want... Including myself.

It is an interesting setup though. Props for the fab work & innovation.

Best time-7.21@173(yes 1/4 mile lol).
1600lbs with me in it.

thats the kind of stuff i like to hear!!

what kind of power is your setup putting out?
could we see a dyno graph by any chance?
any pics of the engine?

thank you!

How much power am i making now?To be honest we don't know,we have only dynoed it once on a chassis dyno and it was in feb last year.With what i would call "small port" s5 ports,very rich tuneup and ex housings which were way too big it made 613hp at the tires on 25psi.We do all our tuning at the track.
Since it was dynoed i have gone bigger on the intake ports and upped the boost a fair wack.

Now I am giong to install twin GT55s on my car so that I can beat out your car for the title of the fastest-spooling RX-7 in the world.

You're out here busting this guys ***.. why?

I ran a ball bearing T76 with a .68 a/r which would begin boost around 2200 revs (ign map wasn't too aggressive). With the 1.0 a/r hotside it wouldnt be into boost until much later. There was some give/take with that setup but i didn't need 9k rpm range.

Stop busting his ***** when you clearly dont have all the facts.

Don't you think that your engine would have spooled much faster with twin T76s?

no not at all, would have made for a lag-o-thon setup.

I didn't get the feeling that the OP's idea was "twin turbos spool faster" but if in his ramblings he did say that then I wouldn't disagree with anything you've said to him. I just didn't get the feeling his thoughts were along those lines. I'm going back to re-read his posts.

Nevermind, I'm with you... he is retarded.

if you read timemachines post at the beginning of the thread he mentions hcs twins that they have spooled super fast. Its just funny how people who have experienced the twins think they are super nice.

Well the purpose of this turbo setup really is to have one turbo for every exhaust port and 2 3inch downpipes to a 4inch exhaust. So really its like having a 41/2 inch dp to a 4 inch exhaust. And more exhaust flow results in a faster spool rate.
