As i understand it twin turbo would have to have seperate throttle boddies. SO each turbo would be responsible for one rotor. What did he do to acomplish this?

explain to me WHY you would need seperate throttle bodies???? The turbo's "Y" into the intercooler, then go to the stock throttle body, then into the engine. The exhaust manifold has one runner for the front rotor/front turbo and one for the rear rotor/turbo....so I still fail to see why you would need 2 throttle bodies.

I think he was thinking more on the lines of the 300ZX's. One turbo feeds one bank of pistons. Two throttle bodies, two IC's, and such = more parts = more trouble. For that much cash and custom work, you could have a damn fast 3 rotor.

That's true. The "V" configuration would make it pretty difficult to run single turbo on a 300ZX...especially with all their "engine space". You'd practicaly HAVE to run twin turbo on a Z for lack of room in front of the engine.

In response i was thinking more along the line of a 300zx. The pictures there arn't necessarly a true twin turbo setup. It probably would be way to much cash to be worth it though

That's as true as twins come. With non-seqs, both spool at the same time. With IGYs, one rotor spools ONE turbo.

WTF??? How is that NOT a true twin turbo system?



Explain to me how you make a true twin turbo setup on an rx-7 and I'll repost the picture again.



And FWIW, that turbo kit was pieced together for a lot less than I want to tell...let's just say it was less than you think...Less than how much it cost for me to piece together my single turbo kit.

I think he said it was not a true dual because the compressed gas merges together (like in all FD applications).
