no it actually worked great, but something came in to the bottom turbo n messed it up so he is just going wit a huge single turbo its a lot cheaper n it makes about the same power ill get piks of it later

So rather than have a laggy single T66 that needs to spool up to 70,000 rpm in order to support 1 bar of boost, you are going to use twin turbos that each need to spool up to 86,000 rpm to support the same boost level with only half of the exhaust power available for each turbo?

Nice setup, I would be interested to hear about what kind of power they make and at what boost levels... Keep us posted.

Having twins period spools quicker than any single turbo. the whole point is to make the same air volume to make huge power like a t66 but to spool really fast.........

Oh, now I get it. For example, twin GT55 turbos will spool quicker than a single GT28 turbo, period. Also, the whole point is to spool really fast to make huge power, which is why a large single turbo never makes more power than the stock twin turbos.

Now I am giong to install twin GT55s on my car so that I can beat out your car for the title of the fastest-spooling RX-7 in the world.

If 2 is better that 1, then I should install 50 turbos and make 75 psi at idle!

Well, I've seen the setup, and I still think getting rid of my twins was good.

seriously? do you not know anything about turbo setups?

My GTR had dual Garrett GT2860R-5 turbos and it put down 590AWHP at 1.8BAR. I was seeing 1 BAR at 3200RPM. To contrast, my friend was running a T67 and he wasn't seeing 1 BAR until 4500RPM. Sure his setup is capable of flowing a bit more up top, but I would much rather have power on demand than waiting forever.

I don't know but to me 590AWHP is a hell of a lot... not that I would need the extra power the T67 would have pushed. Not to mention a much peakier powerband. When I shift into next gear I don't want to wait for the turbo to spool back up again.

this site is retarded. why doesn't someone go tell Howard Coleman that his twin turbo setup was stupid and he should have gone single.

See how he reacts.
