EDIT: And is that an asnwer to my question, NO, move along please, nothing to see here..... :D

Not that I know of. It was tried a few years back, but we never made it into production with it.

They do now, YSR in Japan make one, apparantly good for 590bhp.
See Nic's thread on it.
Now what we need is PHR to get one, fit and test, and improve it.
A new challenge for you guys at last!.

Big sequential twins are nice to look at but are hardly practical in my humble opinion. We experimented with it a couple years back, had a ton of R&D in a sequential system. But in the end, it was overly complex, built up alot of heat, and didnt really respond any better than a small, well-designed single did. I've been to the UK, driven your roads, and in my opinion, I dont see how you can drive a big sequential twin turbo kit there. That is, unless you like to drift round-abouts lol... :-)
Since we have alot of UK customers, we have recently re-designed our PHR Stage 1 and PHR Street Kits with smaller turbine sections for even faster response and better low-end torque. The consensus among my UK friends/customers is that you want and need low-end response and power. In my opinion, this would be a better option more suited for the UK driving style. Far more reliable than big sequential twins and all the associated piping, valves, regulators, switches, and controllers.

Well done, considering that the USA is the world and we are small islands dotted around it, to take the time time to do this means you are now the TOP USA suppliers IMO. Well done!

That sounds awful sarcastic to me, so I'll leave it alone lol
I genuinly believe that was a compliment to you.........as in its nice to hear that US are catering for our needs, well thats the way I took maybe.........
Firstly in response to your post, when I originally enquired about big twin setups, this wasnt because I wanted something that spooled the quickest, or gave better low down peformance, or produced less heat then stock/single........I enquired as I love the sequential stock system, I love the 2nd turbo coming on line half way through your revs, and its for that reason I dont want to go down the single route. But even now after what you had said I would still fit an aftermaket twin sequential kit, not because it will beat a singled Supra, not cause the performance low down is better then this or that, but becuase I love the sequential setup and if there was an application that I could use to generate more then the average 450bhp on Hybrids then I would possibly use it, funds providing of course.......but I appreciate your comments and understand they are purely from a performance point of view....
And also we do drift around roundabouts, we have enough of them, lol......
Have you seen the links of the YSR kits that you can get........any opinions/comments ?

Is it dead, I thought it was still moving, so thought I would keep flogging it....... :D

Not sarcastic, I have bought your fuel systems too!

I didnt think it was meant sarcastic, dont you just love foreign humour you cant always grasp...........althogh there was no humour in your post, so I did wonder why they took it as sarcastic......????

Well then I thank you sir for your comment. I am trying my best to provide parts that suit ALL Supras, not just those here in the USA. Its a learning experience as each country has different needs and HP goals! But we are trying.
Thanks,

Thats very true, if you like the feel of a sequential setup then that might be for you. But since this will be an aftermarket setup and not OEM, reliability will always be an issue. But you can always work around problems when you love what you drive.
I am trying to get more info on that sequential kit to evaluate it. From my current understanding, it was done as a one-off kit in Japan, with no plans for production.

Might be worth PM'ing Nic on here, he is a trader and I believe he was enquiring about this kit, as I believed it was listed on a web site as though its in production......interesting you say it was a one off.......

Nic and I are both trying to get more information on this kit. But so far, it appears to NOT be in production.

Ouch, you just shattered my dreams, lol :(
Thats not good news........
I've checked with YSR and they do not sell the kits off the shelf.
I can imagine the kick you'll get, when the second turbo unexpected comes online whist cornering, would be fun :scare:

Thats a shame......... :(
So back to square one then.......
