was wondering

hey, new chick here.

is it possible to buy 2 small 4 lb turbos and somehow attach them to my mazda trix true dual exaust, one tiny turbo for each rotor? im talking like motor cycle turbos, just to get a little more umph.

Yes, its possible, but MAN, you are talking about a LOT of work in fabrication and a lot of money.

It would be far cheaper and easier to do a tII conversion.

what year and model 7 do you own...and I can't see it being any cheaper for two small turbos then for a regular one..Racing Beat used three turbos on the three rotor Boneville car so it is possible.

You could fabricate a system like that, but it is definately a lot of work. I bet it would be hella fun trying to make it work though.

i wouldnt mind buying a separate r/b header, havind it cut and having the turbos fabricated to fit it. i just think itd beel cool and uniqure to have 2 tiny turbos, one for each rotor, un collectected, totally separated, for that little bit of power.

what i need to know, is what tiny turbos would i need to get. with that, i can fabricate anything

You can check out garretts catologue, they have turbine vs airflow, and pressure ratio vs airflow charts. It looks like for this application, you would need a couple of gt12/gt15 turbos. They go for 500-800 a piece. Unless you can find some used.

Either way, that would be one sick twin turbo setup.

thanks, im printing it out now. i jus tthink itd be cool to have 2 small turbos all by them selves. its like 2 rotors running on their own. i already have one haltech wide band o2 meter per rotor, and i already have dual capibilities for readouts. so why not go for a small boost on top of all that?

thanks a mil

Might as well just use a single turbo. If you're worried about turbo lag, don't worry about it. With the high compression engine, it's nonexistant.
