the non seq. setup meaning running the primary and secondary in parralel right? i really don't see much benefit other than smooth power transistion, power of the usual secondaries around 3500rpm. And finally the less complication of the vacuum hoses. But then doing this, it doesn't seem like you will benefit in HP because of the turbos will run in parralel @ 4500. maybe i'm just not really seeing the big benefit here. Somebody enlighten me =)

 

you answered all your own questions. there is no benifit other than less vac. hoses and smoother power curve.

 

The only way you will benefit from going non-sequential is if your very modded. Ported engine, full exhaust, among the mods. You do make more hp in the "power band" of the FD. From 3500-7000 rpms there is more hp and torque available with non-seq over the seq set up. I know Brain Goble?? has a website that compares non-seq with a modded seq setup and a single FD. You don't have any higher peak hp but in the powerband it pulls VERY hard in my car - down low is a little laggy. Much more reliable.

The comparison page is actually from Fritz McKellar's site (taken with permission) ...he just happened to use my car in his comparison. :)

In terms of power, IMO, you get more mid-range and less low-end (high end is about the same...maybe a little more with non-seq). Much smoother power-band and MUCH simpler operation (nothing will go wrong ever again :)

Hope this info helps...

(note: IMO, non-seq is not for everyone, drive a non-seq car first if you can if you are thinking of coming over to the dark side ;)

 

i'm planning on going non sequential next week for the simple fact that my vac lines are being redone and i might as well lessen them by going non seq. is this or should this be a good reason? my future plan in a year or so is to go single, i was told not to bother with the non seq if so, what do you think? waste of money, spend it on something else?

to help out i have a apex gt exhaust installed and boost an afr a=gauge installed. next week what was in the plans was to rebuilt my transmission, act street/strip clucth, new throwout bearing, hks dp and sr midpipe. if by some miracle i run into some money i am trying to pick up a radiator, fmic and intake.

I love non-sequential. Im consistant in the 11's everytime I race at the track. Very streetable and reliable.
