3.1 twin turbo


C-REX

Recommended Posts

i agree, fabricating one turbo install is challenging enough, but two? Might as well build a rocket ship

 

It IS POSSIBLE....but for the time and effort it would be more efficient if you got a LARGER intercooler as well as the turbo to offset the diff to running twin's on there....

 

 

 

wow, i sounded smart! :D

All u do is remove the cross over pipe and mount one turbo one one side and the the left over pipe and fabericate a down pipe for the left bank exhaust. I going to use 2 mitish lancer turbos.

 

 

 

But the thing with one big turbo is all the turbo lag how would u fix that?

 

i now that GARRETT TB2521 would work.

or this shit heads sysytem for a fiero

Since the turbo's inertia is greater than two smaller units, you can decrease turbo lag by:

* getting lighter, stronger parts (flywheel, crank / pulley, etc.)

* using NOS to accelerate the turbine faster with less spool time

* or use a smaller turbocharger and better thermodynamic and inter-cooling properties to get solid boost.

I see now that u can put a single turbo on a 3.1L but can u fit a dual turbo set up on and what hp gain would u achive.

 

Why would you want to do this.. you can get over 14psi out of the stock tgp turbo with vertualy no lag to begin with.

i dont know who but supposivly someone in springfield has their tgp running 13's off the stock turbo.. motor is not obiously stock though.

for big power one single > twins. just ask the supra boys who ditch their tt setups in favour of a big single.

 

as for the issue of lag, new ceramic bearing turbos have come along way. It's now possible to get a big turbo capable of making a lot of power with the lag of a much smaller turbo.
