ok im pretty sure i read a thread on this about a year ago on this forum but i can't seem to find it.

Anyway the question is; would a single turbo, the same size of the twins put together, produce more power than the twins (with the same pressures)?

Im quite sure this thread i read i while ago backed that up technically^^ but i just cant find it.


cheers

 

Technically, that would come down to the restriction in the manifold. In that case, the single should produce more power (not necessarily a significant amount) given the same boost level.

 

it also will depend on the turbo specs....certain sizes will work more efficiently in different boost levels....and at different rpm's....but yes it is VERY easy to do so...

 

i just had the idea that twins would be less efficient. And im sure it was proved on this site!! ahh

cheers for the replys though guys

 

i love my stock twins power every where and it will eat my mate evo and 200sx didn't know that the stock manifold was resrictive looks like i be changing that so can have that now can we would it be worth my while wrapping it to ? coz i was thing of wrapping the down pipe as well ? a mates burps a lots of fire since he put on the full exhaust is that a norm ?

 

The thread you were looking for his here:

would a tubular manifold on stock twin make any differance ? the stainless type to match the rest of my exhuast

 

The stock manifold is restrictive because it's designed for sequential operation. Many people have done hybrid twin turbo setups for non-sequential operation but it's just more cost effective in this day and age to get a decent single turbo instead. Single turbos these days are able to provide much better response than they were 9-10 years ago with good top end power.
