That will be great to see.... I know twin kits are a bit more hefty in price but if i were given the option to try this platform I would do it because I prefer twin over single.... Love the no lag and power all around....

I'm so on the edge of ordering @FA20Club.com's kit with a 3076r... Err

He beat on it yesterday in 95 degree heat with the AC on blast and the temp gauge never moved. For anyone who doubts how many miles his car has or how hard he beats on it I can assure you he is not misleading anyone. I would like to extend my thanks to @lexusb3 for coming out and I would like to give props to @FA20Club.com for building a great kit :happy0180:.

thanks for the support!!!! i look forward to a ride in that monster you have cooking!!until then ill be here adding more miles and pushing the limits even further !! if anyone is around the area lmk i will love to meet up and show the car off !!

get a 6266

[OmarGC]

I'd go Borg Warner efr before I go PT if I spend that money... Also that's a lot bigger then a 3076

i realized that when i do the build i have to do something different so we wont be EXCATLY the same so i have to change my turbo choice i suppose haha or if i do the same excat turbo i have to go up 1 psi over or 1 psi less then you so it can be different hahaha

next one up is a 6466 with a lot of turbine housing options

@FA20Club.com Not to be off topic or derail the thread but how well do this car or other turbo twins run when pushed at a psi different than what it was tuned at. (Tuned at 12 psi, but run at 8 psi as a DD for example). I do know its risky to turn the boost up higher than what was tuned for. But how much so?

Great build btw.

Now I do hate to keep beating the dead horse in this subject.... But I have seen Evos, S2ks and many other small displacement engines with this kind of platform and seems to be working... So just wondering about this....

It has been discussed many times, and it simply is not as efficient as a properly sized single. And I have been an S2k owner for 6 years, and I only saw one guy attempt a twin turbo projoct. He ran into major issues and fell off the face of ther earth. There are single turbo S2k's producing 800whp on stock block, and 1k+ on buit engines.

It has been discussed, but no one has any hard data which is why we are making a twin kit. Even if it does suck at least everyone will know why/how. Someone has to be willing to spend the time and money even on projects that might fail in order for this platform to continue to progress.

I totally agree. Im not saying im hating on the idea, just have seen others try and fail. But your right, I have not seen one on this platform, so I don't have an hard data or facts. I think if you have the time and money, why not try it.

My last car was a 135i, which was twin turbo. It made 90% of it's torque from 1400rpm on up, and it was an absolute joy to drive.
Towards redline it did run out of steam, but there wasn't much need to wring the motor's neck, as it had so much mid-range torque it was faster when shifted before redline.

I would think a twin turbo setup with small turbos would give similar power, big low and mid-range torque with not as much top-end power as a big single turbo, but I would think it would be vastly more drivable, IF someone were to get it all to work.

Typical twin turbo set ups from the 90's (RX-7, Supra) used sequential turbos, a smaller one to spool quickly for low end torque and midrange, and a larger once that takes over for the top end.
