I love the twin turbos on my rex i dont really want to go down the single turbo route i was just wondering what were my options with upgrading the the twin\'s to gain more power.

How much power do you want?

If you have all the Fuel mods,PFC,Intercooler etc you can run 300-320rwhp on the Stock twins any more will need some work doing on the Turbo\'s (Bigger Compressors and 360 bearings)

Depends on what you want.

non-sequential set-up route...big whack in one go...but laggy



WAS;
1994 FD3 Type R-II
all TRUST/GREDDY prepared
T78 blower
big street port
500bhp
one happy driver... :yes

NOW;
Porsche 996 C4 CAB

In that case you may as well get a Single Turbo as non-sequential act like a Single but don\'t make as much Power and from what i heard Spool alot slower.

The Only reason this would be a Good idea is if you are having Vac Problems, there just not designed to have the Secondry Turbo on all the time.

But on the Up side it does make a little more power per Psi, but put two 300rwhp cars one with non-sequential the other With sequential race on a Track, which would come off better i wounder?

makes me think...

depends what rpm the engine is at full chat on i guess...where ever the power and torque band spreads the widest

TBH i think on a Track they would be simalar (Revs over 4k) its in Trafic and low revs you\'d notice it more.

If you\'ve got a fair size budget you could go for a set of BNR stage 3\'s with bigger compressors and 360 thrust bearings, etc, like Grizzly mentioned.

Its one of those things though that the cost of doing it can get near the cost of getting a single turbo so depends how much you like the twins!

I always say I want to stick with the twins but ive never driven a single turbo car so am a bit biased, seems to be some good singles about now which make their boost quite early and have a largeish power band. I\'ll probably end up  maxing out the twins (eventually) then ache for more grunt so go single in the end :)

Im of the same thinking as you mate, I have heard of people fitting different internals to there twins. I dont think i want to go along the non-sequential set-up route. However like you say if i have a go in single turbo rex i will probably change my mind!

ScuttleRX

Let us know what you do in the end matey, I wouldnt  mind an upgrade of the twins if funds allow one day. Be interested if theres somewhere in the UK that do something like BNR do

Grizzly

Does\'nt Pip do them? Well his version of them?

I guess there would be a Price tag on it becouse there is oviously two turbos?

mikeyh

i bought  a set of turbo`s off ebay that has had the buttlerfly/waistgate(i think) and other stuff done to them.
so unsure of what difference they will do but for £79 delivered i couldnt say no lol

ScuttleRX

Oh yeah believe he does, think its about £2000 IIRC from the website

Watch this space:D  I will soon have for sale a complete package - BNR stage 3 running sequentialy with a fresh rebuilt engine complete with a 4" down pipe will be sold with a dyno sheet, expecting circa 400atw

ScuttleRX

drool, any hint on a price John for us dreamers?
