JamieP Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 What you thinking of changing to mate? why not just up the boost if you want more power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 What you thinking of changing to mate? why not just up the boost if you want more power? Yeah im in two minds on what to actually do mate. Buy another turbo and up the boost on a built box or change the setup and give big twins a blast. I cant see me keeping the car much longer, maybe couple years max. I just want to go out with a bang (not blow it up ) but knowing i have tried the setups and enjoyed finding out what big power is like on my own. Its one main reason i wont go in other peoples cars who run more power as i know ill have the bug bad and rush into buying bigger and bigger turbos, i want to be my own judge and find out myself. I take everyones opinions onboard but i do feel that twins might be great. I just dont know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 A lot of people slate twins but as with a lot of things on this forum they have either never driven a well setup car or simply dont have a clue, Lee's car is lovely to drive.

Chris Bailey Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Why not have a word with Steve M - Now he has twins on his car surely he can tell you what there like on a daily basis . Sorry if someone has already come up with this suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i know, people have also critised BIG turbos for street and also Critised the built auto route. I just like to talk to people who have had the setups and hopefully they are honest enough lol if i wanted a big single i would ask yourself but just the twins are grabbing my attention. Been chatting with lee and if i went ahead with it, i would give 650-700 a blast on stock box Why not have a word with Steve M - Now he has twins on his car surely he can tell you what there like on a daily basis . Sorry if someone has already come up with this suggestion. Prob a different drive with a 6speed but i have spoken to steve at jap show and he love it to bits.

I've never heard twins get slated on here, but the general consensus is that while twins are technically superior to an equivalent single setup, the added cost and complexity make it hard to justify on most cars. I was dossointed when the Wangan Supra had its twins remove, but very glad that a twin setup has returned to that car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee thinks it will definately be laggy compared to the fast sppoling kit i have and i should see full boost about 5k.... not sure if thats good or bad...

Kit would prob be up for £3500.00 ono which is a massive saving and with the extra's included its a bargain.. even the MVR Wastegates at the time cost a fortune.

johnny g Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Mine made full boost far before 5000rpm mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.m Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) I'm still very new to the setup but the main attraction to me is the progressive power delivery which aids traction, There's absolutely no point having high power if you can't put it to the tarmac! I can put full power down in second gear with minimal loss of traction, Obviously the 315 R888's help with that also. The car is an absolute animal on boost and spools extremely well with very little lag but they are only little turbos. full boost around 4300 RPM. In comparison the turbo I had on previously saw full boost at around 5800RPM. The only issue with the twins at the moment is something I think Lee described as compressor stall, Which I believe is something to do with an air unbalance between the turbos. When under load in high gears the turbos start singing and loose power. I need to look into this further to understand it and potentially find a solution.

Rob_Mitchell Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Thankyou steve and johnny! great info, i feel i know alot about singles now but obviously big twins need a bit more research and reading up on.

Pudsey Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) I have had alot of interest in my kits that I have for sale, but everyone wants something for nothing. The way I keep explaining it is this..... The more managable and drivable the kit in real world driving conditions on a stock engine, the more the kit will be worth versus a monster that will require a built engine higher revs etc etc... People want performance on a budget these days, and smaller kits make this more managable for the majority in my opinion. Hence the HKS T51R only going for £2k as its a 1,000 hp turbo. Just my own personal opinion of course. NB: I hope you get your £3.5k, certainly well worth that for a more managable mid range performance upgrade.
