James Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Was having a look at cars for sale in Japan and stumbled across a 2002 RZ-S in 202 black. Noticed the unusual bonnet and wondered what the script was. I'll let the pictures do the talking! The justification for the bonnet 'bulge' : http://picture1.goo-net.com/054/0540388/J/0540388A20130626W00305.jpg http://picture1.goo-net.com/054/0540388/J/0540388A20130626W00306.jpg The other pictures: http://picture1.goo-net.com/054/0540388/J/0540388A20130626W00301.jpg http://picture1.goo-net.com/054/0540388/J/0540388A20130626W00302.jpg http://picture1.goo-net.com/054/0540388/J/0540388A20130626W00308.jpg http://picture1.goo-net.com/054/0540388/J/0540388A20130626W00304.jpg Same dash as mine http://picture1.goo-net.com/054/0540388/J/0540388A20130626W00312.jpg http://picture1.goo-net.com/054/0540388/J/0540388A20130626W00311.jpg http://picture1.goo-net.com/054/0540388/J/0540388A20130626W00315.jpg http://picture1.goo-net.com/054/0540388/J/0540388A20130626W00316.jpg http://picture1.goo-net.com/054/0540388/J/0540388A20130626W00318.jpg http://picture1.goo-net.com/054/0540388/J/0540388A20130626W00317.jpg http://picture1.goo-net.com/054/0540388/J/0540388A20130626W00307.jpg http://picture1.goo-net.com/054/0540388/J/0540388A20130626W00319.jpg I wonder what the engine spec reads like?

abtin90 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Not sure what to say as I'm lost for words. Reminds me of the thread asking whether it would be a good idea to fit two t88 turbo's lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timlowthian Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Could be a dumb question but is that twin Turbo'd with one on top rather than side by side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_p Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Could be a dumb question but is that twin Turbo'd with one on top rather than side by side? By the looks of it, yes, in regard to why? I have no idea...... I'm sure someone will be along to answer shortly though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetrashcanman Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Me and Chris Bailey where talking about this the other day, according to Mr Lee P himself this is a compound turbo system, which from reading this article http://www.atsdiesel.com/ats2/templates/template_06.asp?p=2029422272&c=36 makes me think its similar in a way to the stock sequential setup, as opposed to a normal set of say HKS twins, which come online more like if the stock twins where in TTC mode. But I seriously want that car, looks mental Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 It's a compound turbo setup. One feeds the other I believe to try and keep lag down. Monstrous setup though! Wonder what the dyno graph looks like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 2x T78s it looks like? Looks to be a compound setup too? Hrmm! But absolutely agree with Steve - spark plugs would be a nightmare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
