This will not be a race track car, it'll be a garage keeper, just want some HP to spank some V8's on the highway if it ever comes to that when I take her out one night, which that'll not likely happen.. but I would also like to have a nice clean polished engine bay as well. Income is also low, not much. 35-40k a year.. Ish!

What are you opinions?

 

Plenty of twin turbo RX7's can spank V8's. And there are plenty of twins on the tracks. Spend the money on optimizing your twins (exhaust, fuel delivery, IC, etc) maybe upgrade the twins and get a good tune.

Given that its a garage keeper and income is "low" by your standard, I'd say keep it twins.

Just pick the right V8s to spank.

 

there is a group buy going on right now for BNR's, would be a lot cheaper than a single conversion. I believe 400hp is easily attainable.

 

BNRs man. Cheapest way to power and the least complicated in terms of upgrading.

 

 

+1 on the BNRs about to install a set of my own.

 

It really depends what kinda power u r after
If u want to have a car which spools faster and achieves the given boost pressure as quick as around 3k rpm than stick with the twins and get sum good tuning done with the help of pfc, dp, mp..... And if u dont mind the turbo lag than go with a single . Keep in mind that properly tuned twin turbi fd will easily take over on most of the v8s. People Are doing a group buy for bnrs.... Also look into revolution ball bearing turbos.... Thats wat i am after

 

I went single and will never go back. Theres a little more lag but it's almost the same as the twins and it makes a lot more top end and it produces almost no heat compared to the twins and the cast iron heat sinks!

 

single, but i am bias

 

keep it simple, simplified single turbo with many to choose from..
