one day awile back i saw a twin turbo setup for the probe gt...if u swap for the 2.5 probe engine in the mX-3, will the set up fit under the hood space of an mx-3....i have the sheet metal side thingys already removed and i have no windshield water resivoir...just wondering if anybody tryed before

Check the post about the TT MX-3 in this forum. It has been talked about.

Just dont try to do a sequential setup. You want them acting in parallel, like how a twin turbo V8 turbo system works.From reading the thread you suggested, you seem to know little about setups that work. [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

Man you internet mechanics just like the sound of "twin turbo" ... sheesh. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by ProtegeSTS: It would actually be MORE efficent.

Protege usually knows what hes talking about before he blurts it out [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

I just want to see what turbo's he thinks will fit in the engine bay with a parallel setup. Anyone that has opened the hood on a GS knows that there is very little room to do a single turbo setup, let alone a twin. Plus the larger 2.5L engine will make that usable space a little smaller.

Two IHI VJ series should do fine. Maybe VJ14 or so. The 2.5L takes up exactly 0.000% more space than the 1.8L as far as turbos are concerned. Twin turbos mounted close to the head have much better thermal retention than a large single turbo on a transverse mounted V engine. The fastest Supra guy last time I checked was Vinny Ten, and he went from a big single to two TSO4 Holsetts [also from his 6spd manual to a 2spd powerglide slushbox] [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

Thought of some other good turbos for TT. Toyota CT12/CT16, Mitsu TD04 9B, Garrett T3 35 trim...

the guys at a-spec totally stacked their motor to to hold all the psi form 2 turbo's....and I've saw a kl-ze in a mx and it was so tight looking it would be very hard to route all the piping for intercooler and what not...it would be pretty cool though

well, David has already given you youre answer. You would basically want the stock oem turbos from the various V6 TT cars in production. Supra turbos, or 3000GT turbos would work just fine and be sized basically where you needed them.This is something that David came up with, not myself, but we've talked about it a few times. We possibly even had a set of turbos from a MkIV supra before they pounded the crap out of them with a sledge hammer (long story)

That would be awsome. I have been told that there wasn't enuff room in the engine bay to get a twin turbo saetup in there. Oh well, my sources were wrong. Are there any TT 1.8L or 2.5L MX-3's? That would be way kewl tho.

nobody to MY knowledge has done it...but like anything else, it CAN be done. We recently had the first 1.6L 3rd gen Protege turbo come to light with some nice pictures and such. Someone will eventually build one.
