I am preparing to pull the engine out hopefully this or next weekend. I plan on rebuilding porting you know the usual. while everything is out and easy to work on i was wondering about some custom fabrication work.

How hard or is it even possible for myself or my remarkably over trained race mechanic could make a sequential turbo kit that would run as nicely as the stocks but with a little more power. sorta like mergin a T88 and something on the smaller greddy side to still have the nice fluid build of power but something that would be stable in a 20PSI area rather then loosing stability at 15PSI

Like i said probably a dumb question. But I want the best of both worlds so

 

Not very feasible. It's not the turbos themselves that limit the sequential capability (well, the manifold to some extent), but it's the sequential control system that is the main hindrance.

 

yeah thats the same thing my mechanic said. then he asked if i had the money to pay him to make it work when i said i would rather do it myself he decided it was possible but just hard. he later explained that is was as much work as any of my other ideas and not nearly as big a pay off so.

I was just hoping someone out there had done it and found a nice easy way to mate two greddys to the factory control system

 

Get yourself Axiom's Solenoid replacement kit, Dale Clark's viton check valves, new vacuum hoses for the rats nest and Bryan's Stage 3 turbo's.


I would NOT push over 16 psi regularly on pump gas w/o water injection though...


How much have you done to your car already? 20psi on twins isn't a simple plug and play application, it will require quiet a bit of support mods (might as well go single)

 

so far i have done a fair bit but not everything i want to. one of my coolant seals went so while the engine is out i figure take a year or two rebuild port ect. build a monster.

I dont really want to buy a truck right now. once the rebuild is done i will consider it but I would like the car to be as beast as it can be and still be bearly street legal.

my budget is pretty free. I have my wedding to pay for but outside of that. I just figured while it was out if i could find away to get some bigger more stable turbos to sequental as nice as the stocks i would do that.

it appears I can't easily so i will have to look deeper into it and consider the cost and benifit of the three options.

 

Some interesting quotes here:

"a year or 2 to rebuild and port .. "

"I have my wedding to pay for but .."

I dunno, sounds like one or the other is gonna have to give ...

listen to what fendamonkey said, go with the advice of those who have been around, heard all the stories and failures ... rebuilds after rebuilds and blown motors after blown motors and realize that you have two options:

- BNR turbos either seq or non-seq, with lots of supporting mods
- single turbo, with lots of supporting mods


Good luck with the wedding!

 

BNRs. /thread.

 

Yeah I have looked at the BNRs and i think thats the best option.
