Is it possible to install twin HKS GT3037s's in a 3rd gen. What would need to be done, and what do you think the outcome would be? Or is it just stupid?!

that would make a disgusting amount of power if you could spool it.

Thats what the 1000hp skylines and supras have. But they run a lot more boost than a street rx-7 can.

No real idea, but you'd probably need some huge intake and exhaust porting for those with a 13b.

Maybe would work good on a 20b

Anyways, I know nothing of those turbos on a rotary, just rambling on

i think the KSP car has that setup on an FC, its like 700hp and I'm going to assume a full bridge. This is a setup for race cars, not for the street, and even then its alot less complex to have a big single and still go just as fast. Once you start getting into those power levels its not like you can make more that 500whp in pump gas anyway, so it doesn't really matter for the street unless you can afford to run C16 for everyday driving.







edit, just checked they have the same setup on their FD also







unless you are build a dedicated race car its just not a good idea

Border Racing sells one now and A-Spec Tuning is working on one using turbos similar to what you described. I think the Border is something like $9000 and A-Spec likley won't be much cheaper.... If you make much more power than Vosko's $3500 kit at the same boost, you would surprise a lot of people. Unless you are planning on hitting 30 psi or so.

I'd be surprised to see anyone running over 25psi on street gas.

If we're talking 94 octane, I think they would be pointless. You can get all the power possible on street gas out of a 35/40 or T78.



Cheech don't know ****, but he is learning!

Didn't that Orange SP engineering FD have the 3037's? I'd almost bet money on it...If I remember correctly. Sweet *** car, too bad they wrecked it.
