fromtheshadows Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 The only tt setup that I know of that uses a small and a large twin setup is the RX7 FD. A very effective fast spooling setup that, with just more boost pressure can spank most other cars on the road. As for twin charged rally audi's, "My bad" I was thinking of Lancia.

fromtheshadows Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 That is one piece of beautiful fabrication!But why cant they engineer the correct length front dampners? Kind of ruins the whole thing They probably could but I agree it looks cool. Don't get mad. If we're bagging on it...I just wish they would have chosen a wheel with a lip and more agressive offset. Other than that, I'll take one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V70TSE Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 I would say sticking with the T5 Turbo smacking in a supercharger, with a method of when the turbo reaches a set boost pressure, then it switches to the turbo, of course, completely pointless, but hey we like crazy ideas go for it and i want to see the outcome!Ruan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the SC would pull air through the turbo, and also create a vacuum to let the turbo spin up real quick? This way its just piping... no fancy switching.

TorqueSteer Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 VATN. VATN. VATN.+1, Variable Area Turbine Nozzle turbos are the future, if they can give the car immediate low end boost, and not cause a parasitic loss like a supercharger, they would be the power adder of choice in the future.

Sunrise_Racer_Sonic Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 seriously, why go through all the trouble of twincharging?all you need is a 50 shot to cut out at about 3500 rpms when the turbo kicks in....no lag there i dont think...anyway its the hot new setup for drifters in little high revving japaneseseses. cheap and reliable (about as reliable you can get with nitrous and a mondo turbo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorqueSteer Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 3500 is where you should start spraying, at anything less on these cars your just begging for a grenaded engine.all you need is a 50 shot to cut out at about 3500 rpms when the turbo kicks in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunrise_Racer_Sonic Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 right.so that cans that idea, who wants pizza? nitrous free!i didnt know that...im just going by what i read in T&HTP and by what my ricer roots have guided me to beleive.

Texas850Turbo Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 993 turbo also used sequential turbos like the setup described about the MKIV supras, except the second turbo was larger and the exhasut flow to the smaller turbo cut out when the bigger one started making boost. The new 997 turbo uses dual turbos in parallel with vatn technology, which is a lot like the 993 turbos except less complicated and more efficient. Before vatn, the sequential turbo set up was the best for less turbo lag, but now who needs it when you can use both turbos for both low-end and high-end? Its much better to have a less complicated system, less to go wrong and much easier to tune properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zulu Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Ultimate VATN setup is controlled via an ECU type, opens accordingly with needed AR for that specific CFM/RPM......some new car coming out has a VATN-type setup, can't remember what.

EricF Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 No one on this board will have anything other than a single turbo anyway (save those using a nitrous shot as well, which is really the only feasible/worthwhile option discussed in this thread) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fromtheshadows Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 The future is VFT. Variable air flow turbos. The new acura RDX SUV uses it and it sounds cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
