2 T78's

Is it even possible to mount 2 T78 or 88 turbos,or any 2 aftermarket turbos.And if it is,why doesn't anyone do it.

getting the turbos to run sequentially would be the major hump. I have seen two tseries sized turbos fit in the engine bay of a FD. I just takes alot of custom work.

I think that pics in that mag is the 3rotors tri-turbos setup on one of Re-Amemiya FD and it pumps out like 900ps but those are not T-78 thought it is the HKS GT turbos, man that would be my dream setup but here is a good pic of it:

pinky, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
AA, that could be you, think about it! Get everything aluminum anodized. It'll be different than just all polished
Think of the stares you'll get at shows. Think of the speed. Think of the time slips. Think of the bill, wow thatd be expensive
Maybe just ship your car to Amemiya himself Get some new parts from japan while you're at it, then bring her back home.

Whats more impressive than a single turbo 20b, a aftermarket twins on a 20b, whats even more impressive. 3 turbos!

Do your homework - running a paif of "big" Mitsubishi turbos on a 13B is next to impossible if you want it to run properly.&nbsp Bigger is not necessarily better...

Running assymmetrical turbos is not something I typically would try to calculate.&nbsp Trying to measure up a pair of symmetrical twins is bad enough!

Running assymmetrical twin turbos would imply you're running some kinda sequential system?&nbsp If so, this add even more complexity to the system!&nbsp This is making my head hurt just thinking about it!

IMO, a pair of symmetrical twins running non-sequential is a lot easier to install and calculate.&nbsp Ever heard of the stories of Mr. Wyum on his BB twins before the project got...er...shelved?&nbsp It was showing some serious promise...

Hey Ted I can assure u i do my HW.I have spent close to 35 grand on my 20 grand FD so I know a thing or 2 about it.Then there is the thing about the 13b.I never said I ran a 13b.You might find this hard to believe but I have a lot of money to spend on tuning so I went to Britain for a little tuning job from HME.Hurley Motor Engineering installed their latest creation.A 4 rotor TT sequential machine.I currently run 10.2 on the quarter at 736Hp and 578TQ.This is where you can check out HME (http://www.hurley-engineering.ltd.uk/).The engine cost me $13,000.The stock Turbos were used and 3mm Apex seals complete the package.Of course this engine requires more air so an Apex GTI was added and 2 Apex intakes.I have been doing this for a while so don't talk about homework with me.

Prove it...
Your numbers are way off.&nbsp At the very least if you're trying to bullshit me, make sure your numbers make sense.&nbsp A 4-rotor is going to be a lot more torque than a measly 578lb/ft if it's going to produce 736hp.&nbsp With that kinda power, the car should easily do 9's, even with street tires - unless you're stupid enough to run stock size tires with that much power.

Now, if it was a custom 4-rotor, it wouldn't come with any STOCK twin-turbos; all 4-rotors that were built (and running) are all normally aspirated.&nbsp If you're talking about a custom built 4-rotor using 13B-REW parts, I would like to know how to got the seqeuntial systems all wired up and working?

I have no clue what "Apex GTI was added and 2 Apex intakes" means...

Yeah, I guess I believe you when you say "I have been doing this for a while so don't talk about homework with me. " - the BS is way too obvious...
