Hedwig,

Just get that HUGE FMIC you know you've been secretly drooling over!

For people asking why it isn't mandrel bent, well it is. The reason you have to have welded sections is because mandrel benders require a certain distance of straight tubing after each bend to clamp on to etc. To avoid this requirement and have complicated bends without long straight sections people cut the straight off and weld another bend in place of it.

Twins, even non-sequential should spool faster than singles period, assuming total flow etc. is equal. The turbine and compressor of a large single that flows the same as two smaller twins will have more mass away from the center of rotation to accelerate than the combined mass of the twins. This means it takes less force to turn the smaller combined turbos blah blah. The only reason everything doesn't use twins is because of weight, simplicity and expense.

The kit looks pretty nifty although I don't understand why the headers are so long. The kit Trev and I made has extremely short headers and I fit TO4 60-1 compressors on both with external wastegates.

Kevin, whats the story with your FD, or are you still content driving arround in the A6?
when ever you're ready to sell, i'm ready to buy....

 

Heh, I actually just got my turbos returned to me about 1 or 2 months ago after 3 years of SNAFU. With buying a new house and getting back to building parts I haven't had a chance to put everything back together yet, have to set up my lower garage at home to work on cars still as well. I'll try to have it out this spring. I don't think I'll ever sell it though : ).

?? more ASP racing parts?
are we ever gonna see that twin kit avalible from ASP?

 

do you have any pics of you kit? would you be able to make another kit? also, how much would something like that cost? i love this twin setup from a-spec, but i love the sound of a external wastegates.

 

Alright, Tony....u got me curious. Which FMIC???? Greddy 3 row?? Blitz?? Something off an International Harvester?

Seriously, if this puppy clears w/o me getting ANOTHER intercooler and intake, I'm so in.

 

Kevin, I know this is off topic but I asked you a while ago about the headlight kit and you said you would do it, could you please email me with the price you want since I still have the original brackets. Email is jdio79@hotmail.com

 

how would this compare to the rx6 or gt35/40 turbos? at what boost pressure would it begin to lose efficiency?

 

What are the specs. on those turbos ?.

 

I agree, one of the best things about this set up is the custom manifold...as for the turbos running sequentially, one of the biggest problems with the stock twins in road racing or autocross is the boost spike when the secondary comes online. I'm sure these GT turbos will spool up soon enough w/o running sequential...I'm guessing around 3k, which is definately low enough in any race setting.

 

you don't have to worry about that, the internal wastegates won't be able to control boost well before that point, so you can't go that high anyway.

 

yes the twin turbos are ran parallel, not sequential

 

any #'s yet????

 

I'm curious as to how these would compare to the BNR Stage Two "secrets" For those not familiar, follow the tread in the 3rd gen forum. THese are stock upgrades that will be priced around $2K and can make a good 450rwhp. Just curious as to how they compare. Again, these turbos look sweet as f-ck as well. The manifold is what really make me drooll...... Funny how the "single turbo" forum has turned to TWINS!

I gotta ask about working on a FC as well. Perhaps we'd need to get the FD UIM and LIM to clear? I was just about to get a 35/40, but this may be even sweeter for a street car.

 

These will *spank* the BNR's. More efficient manifold, larger turbos capable of flowing more cfm, dual ball bearing...yeah...

 

but we still don't have any #s... as of dyno???? price??? the bnr's are only $2k. now if these are $4k. wow that's twice the price... with the extra $2k i can get a fmic and almost a pfc... that is something to think about...

 

dude, your talking 2 totally different twin set-ups..if i were you dont even think about these GT28 twins..stick with the $2k twins so you could get your FMIC and PFC

I for one will have this kit as soon as it gets done

 

ok steve, so since you edged me out on that T51R kit from Wayne way back when...... i think you should give me first dibs on your GT35/40 kit. how much you want for it???

 

hahaha..wow that was a blast from ther past! but im sorry to let you down again as i dont have the GT35/40 anymore Twins are in my future!

 

all i'm saying is that there is still no #'s, the bnr's has 430 rwhp and 370 twq.... now the questions.... how much MORE does these twins have???

 

i see..expect to see some big #'s..these twin kits are very popular in teh RX7/supra community in Japan. The HKS/border twin kit is over $9k over there .. wait till the kits actually come out, probably in spring '03

 

Actually it's only about $6,500.00 from jt-imports from the last price check. I'm not sure how much the Yen has gone up since then.

 

im not sure if i missed this.....but......do you have an expected release date?? even just a guess??
