is there any v6 twin turbo fbodys or only single

is there any v6 twin turbo fbodys or only single and where if any could i find out about them. iknow i know go single and i probably will ut I am just curious

[T-Punk]

havnt seen any but that doesnt mean that they dont exist, im sure they do. have you searched on google or yahoo for it yet?

[Tiago]

there are plenty of twin turbo fbodies around.

Most kits are single though.

and you tiago obviously like the single better, but taking away from the ease and all of a single turbo would a single be more efficient of ? i have read all the twin turbo threads, but can two turbos create more boost or is the only advantage to twins the fact that you can use smaller turbos to get lower rpm gains cause they spool up faster and still get the top psi that you would get from a large single turbo.

A smaller turbo would spool faster than a single large one all things being equal. But one thing you have to remember is that with twin turbos, each one is going to see half the amount of exhaust gas as the single does. However, you could concievably put the twins closer to the exhaust ports and take advantage of hotter exhaust temperatures.

Im copyiong this from the other post, pay attention [img]tongue.gif[/img]

when you run twins its almost like you can model those twins being half of what you would run in a single. So it should respond the same

one big single with twice the exaust flow and twice the compressor flowrate ~= two smaller twins with half the exaust flow and half the compressor flowrate each when added.

yeah Im an idiot, way overlooked it. so twins are better on v8s then huh? thanks for the input tiago. and I will surely buy your kit if you still make them in a few years. I still dont understand why you would still use the stock exhaust manifolds, wouldn;t you get more flow and therefor a better spool or ? please explain...

[Tiago]

no you didn't understand , no matter what motor, the twins when added = the single if you are going for "proper sizing" Now packaging is what brings the interest towards one system or the other...

SIzing can be a personal choice for bottom end or top end or a good broad power curve, personal choice.

i meant better because you can fit two huge ones where one twice the size of the huge one i would think costs more. a v6 im sure cant handle two huge turbos, but i may be wrong.

you still didnt answer my header question, if this has already been discussed please send me the pages where it is discussed

It's not a matter of the V6 handling two Huge turbos. You need to have a turbo that is the proper size for the engine it is being used on. A twin turbo setup is just two turbos, both half the size, of the one properly sized one.

When you use a Twin turbo setup, its not going to give you twice the power that the single turbo will give you. Since you have 2 turbos, each turbo gets half of what would have gone to the single turbo.

The advantage of the twin setup, is the small turbos allow more areas for placement, and allow you to many times get closer to the exhuast source. The problem is, running all the plumbing for 2 turbos.

As for cost, chances are by the time you figure in that you will need two of most things, and the extra work running all the extra stuff, you will not be any cheaper than a normal, single turbo setup.

Hope that cleared some stuff up for ya [img]smile.gif[/img]

what header question?

[oil pan 4]

I'm working on a TT for my car.

[Die Ford V8]

oops. about the header question, wouldn't you get more power from headers w/turbo than stock manifolds w/turbo? WHat would the differences be.

[Tiago]

from stock manifolds yes, but the 2000+ cars have stock almost shorty headers stock,
therefore why I chose not to neeedd to change them.

[Die Ford V8]

ok
