caseys Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Single = less complexity, cheaper, more available options. Big twins = more complexity in design & fabrication, better response from what I can see. Check out LeeP's setup, looks like he's got one of the best uprated TT setups on here.

Matt H Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 People usualy opt for a big twin set up for big big power. Plus it can be argued the response it better. But.. It's even more expensive and complicated than a single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Paine Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 What are you after. A fast road car or one to spank the 1/4 mile? Just had GT35r fitted and got the beast home after first turbo detted engine. Turbo doesn't come in to boost until 4000 rpm. So you potter around town like Miss Daisy until all hell lets loose. Get ready to spend shed loads of dosh though in mapping etc whichever way you go. If looking for reasonable additional boost you could get your existing twins upgraded to hybrids. I was quoted in the region of £1,200 for mine and went the single way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quoted in the region of £1,200 for mine and went the single way. You lose reliability with hybrids though. I've been looking at big twin turbos for a while now, as an upgrade to my single. They seem to offer a very good setup in terms of torque curve/power delivery. I think I'd want a built engine and maybe some extra CCs before taking the plunge though to make sure I get the best out of it. As already stated, big twins will be BIG money. A single will hit you for £10k, so imagine how much big twins could cost... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 If looking for reasonable additional boost you could get your existing twins upgraded to hybrids Stay away from hybrids, OEM turbos are better. If your OEM turbos are shot go single or replace them with a low mile OEM's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I would go big single for ease of fitting although there is no doubting how well big twins perform, LeeP's car is a flying machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Spring would be the best time to sell if you're considering it. It would certainly save you some £££ if you buy one already modified. Speak to Jurgen, he imports some of the better modded Supras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
