hey im just wondering what is the best way to hook up a twin turbo system. With easy access.

[9986paulk]

Ok, just wondering before anybody even gets into this...do you know what you are doing?
You can fab the hot side however you want it to be for access, same with everything else. If you're doing it yourself, that is.

If you have a shop do it, then you really don't have to wrry about it anyway.

Maybe I'm not understanding your question?

probably to take the front bumper off and put them down below the head lights. idk though. im no expert.

This thread is about as useful as a poopy flavored lollipop.

Edit:

1. What numbers are you shooting for?
2. You better have alot of money to sink into an engine.
3. Do you have any mechanical experience?

i agree. basically the same thing i said above. though i don't really care what his power numbers are...haha until he gives some details, ill just answer his question. Look at tmaturbo.com and see his twin kit. That's the best way you're going to set it up for access and power.

And you don't necessarily need a ton of money for an engine as long as you keep it around 8 psi. It should last a while.

Normally, but whats the point of only 8 psi with twins?

Sure. With twins you can really have your cake and eat it to, if you catch my drift. With properly sized snails you have the ability to really crank it up if you want to AND have a fast(er) spool in the mean time. Faster than with a properly sized single that is.

isnt that why people run big and small turbos on a twin setup?

Yes but that would be twin in-line turbo's, aka sequential turbos. You can have the same effect, or close too the same effect, by using two smaller turbo's in parallel instead of one big turbo.

Ah, so are the small turbos the popular choice for twins?

[9986paulk]

Yeah, generally. It's better to have 2 small (properly sized turbos) than 2 larger ones, in which case you might as well have one properly sized turbo. If the guy I bought my kit from will f'ing talk to me about it, I'll have 2 small turbos.

Yeah, im going with a single set up when i can finally get enough money for a kit from JT. Im excited for your twin set up. I cant wait to see what that will put down on a dyno.

[9986paulk]

Me too, I just have to get stuff straightened out with the seller. The turbos aren't exactly in the condition they were described to be and at least 1 needs to be rebuilt. So I'm working on that in the meantime.

Ah. That sucks when people lie when they sell you shit. Hopefully you get that mess fixed and get those turbos spooling. Good luck with the build man!

BTW, im sure others as well as me expect a thread on it.

[9986paulk]

Oh there is a few pages back...kind of...it just got put on hold since I got the turbos and realized what needed done.

oh okay. i didnt even see it lol. Im looking for it now.

[9986paulk]

Well, I guess I'm not done with the 6er after all...

This is where it'll be once I get that taken care of. Stuff moves fast on this forum.

EDIT: Oh and sorry OP, I didn't even realize I just jacked your thread a little. But everybody's here to answer questions! haha

You can do with a single with you can do with twins now days... Most people just don't realize it
