Twin Turbo 1.8 or 2.5 klze!!!!!

Post by FinaJet07 »

I was just checking out knight turbo's home page and they make a twin turbo kit for the klze and regular 1.8v6!!!! It is expensive but if u got the extra cash im sure the horse power would be off the hook!!!

I dunno much about TT VS turbo but I've heard alot of people switching from twin to single!? [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img] <P>Wouldn't a Dual Stage Turbo system be the best? (like the rx7 Turbo II... i think)<P>a small turbo to speed up the engine until the BIG GUNNER kicks in???

Twin turbs are nice but complex and alot more vaccum hoses to worry about when the s--- breaks down. <P>What you want(depending on your insanity levels) is a larger turbo.... one big one that just pumps. If you get a proper ECU setup ie: motec or the like, you can tune your car to run with little turbo lag and HUGE MONSTEROUS BOOST. Alot of jap competition cars change over from 2 to just one big one..... just alot more power rather then timing and synchronizing one to take over from the other.

You mean like the Grand National? The motors in those cars are V6 and they all have single turbos. Or are you referring to something else?
