I know a couple people that tryed to put twin turbos on their fbody and never succeded. I considered taking on the project before but since my camaro is my primary driver I didn't want to do it. When I get another car my car's going to be experimental then. My question is say I got a pair of 6cyl headers couldn't I just take the left header reverse it and put it on the right side vice versa run the pipes up to the front of the engine where I have tons of room slap on both turbos there then run it to the intercooler then to the manifold? Most people say you have to put them into the back. I don't see how this would be so hard? Could I just reverse the headers though?
in theory yeah.......in practice?....well....good luck!
i was swimming in the carribean. animals were hiding behind the rocks except for the little fish, but they told me the squid\'s trying to talk to me. oink, oink. where is my mind?
Twin Turbos are kindda like a dual exhaust. Can it be better than one? Sometimes (rarly) yes, sometimes (usually) no. But it will make the project nearly twice as hard as a single turbo. If properly sized it won't take much longer (talking 1/10th of a second here) for a big engine (when compaired to 1.8L I-4's) to spool up say, a t03 as apposed to 2 t25's and it'll be alot eaiser to plumb the piping. W/ 2 turbo's you have twice the rebuild cost, and you gotta split the exhaust evenly. With just one turbo you could hide the turbo down by the y pipe then just pipe the intake to the front where as the TT would all have to be up front.
Do alot of research and then if you still want a TT setup, save your money and read some more ;)
Eventually you'll think less of a TT setup than a Std. one.
Now sequentail turbos are a whole different story but that's really hard and the electronics can get expensive if you don't trust the good o'l fashion methods of controling boost w/ check valves and what not.
single turbo setups tend to favor more top-end power and a good kick in the a$$ while twin-turbos are able to spool a little quicker and are more kind to your butt. It is true that twin-turbos will cost you more in the long run, but if you have the time and money, go for it. Just think of your engine as a pair of 3 cyl. engines when you do the twin-turbo setup. Custom shorty headers should be a priority.
