Single or Twin??

What is everyone's preference?

What are the pro's and cons of a single or twin turbo upgrade?

I bought a twin turbo and like the idea of keeping two turbo;s but most big sups seem to go single turbo. Are twins not powerful enough??

I eventually want 800+ bhp

Advice and opinions please??

Its not to do with the power, its usually down to cost and ease of setting up.

I'd be interested in a setup thats both powerful and can be quiet enough to use on the track

I love the sequential system and would say live with it untill they die and then maybe single. By that point you'll probably be after a little more power too

The standard ones just aint really enough for me - its getting boring. The sequential system is good though...

Got a mate with a skyline with 2 huge HKS turbo's and its been said to be the way forward by Abbey but thats a skyline.....and supra owners do tend to favour the single!!

and RobSheffield - I dont want to do a search on out dated posts, I like current information. I have already seen a lot of posts with this same title and taken views on board but peoples experiences change and new members join bringing new information - thats how knowledge spreads!!

I thought people weren't supposed to reply to threads saying "do a search!"

"After the tenth time of answering the same question, some people get a bit fed up and unhelpfully reply with “Use the search”. This is actively discourage now, "

What you have to remember is that aftermarket twin turbo setups are not sequential, they are parallel. So you won't get any of the advantages of the stock system (i.e. faster spool). That makes twin and single setups pretty much the same apart from the fact that twins require more complicated plumbing and are therefore more expensive.

New people - new information - more current information on more advanced technology. Its always worth asking a question more than once when a large time frame has elapsed since the last one.

As far as I know the subject of a twin turbo upgrade has hardly been discussed on here at all.

So I think you should ask.

Nice to have support - I am new to Supras and need to ask questions!

Cheers SimonB - it makes sense. Sound advice

Tony License went with the Blitz twin turbo upgrade.. his project is still in progress but it will be interesting to see how it goes.

Is the twin route not more expensive due to the fact that you have to fork out for the two turbos instead of just the one?

seems the single turbo setup is a lot less to go wrong.been tried and tested.think you will find more people go single turbo.

What about twin Stage3 Hybrids... what sort of power with supporting mods should you expect from such a setup ?

Ive just done single swap, i love it, sounds awsome,looks mint and

so easy to work on.

My knuckles have just healed up from removing the twin set up

never again!.

stage 8 hybrids will get you your 800 horse power

You still in the SAS Mark

hey dont blow my cover

I do wish someone would produce a twin set that you could sequentially.

I love the sequential setup and dont want a single now due to this factor, I feel the Supra feels separated from most other turbo'd cars becuase of this design, and feel I have no further option from Hybrids now because of this.......

Could, and Im talking theoretically, could you design a bespoke twin sequential setup ?? I sort of remember this being discussed before and Im sure the VSV's would be a big concern.

Could you not keep the standard sequential setup and modify it to fit bigger twin, how far could the stock sequential system be pushed in terms of psi running through it ??

There are kits out there, Alex posted one up a few weeks back.

Torque Developments in Grays recently told me about a twin M12 turbo upgrade that they reckon for about £4500-£5k you'll be able to run 420bhp PER TURBO. A total of 840bhp sounds plenty enough to me (plus I got a direct port juice system to plumb in) but they said if you play it sensible running 600hp with this set up you need not change all internals and it'll be fine as an every day car !!!

Has anyone heard of this kit ?

Sorry 600 odd bhp not 600 flat

What that you can run sequentially ??

Yup.

Yup.

Any idea where mate, whats best to search on.......?

Also which Alex, theres a of them.....lol
