Just thought you guys might find this interesting if you haven't already seen it, an LS/Vtec hybrid with a twin turbo setup. http://www.homemadeturbo.com

That's sick. I don't know why you would really need a twin turbo setup on a 4 banger though. Spool isn't that bad with just one turbo so it's all good.

that is so useless. a non v-tec single turbo motor could be way faster and definately cheaper

is it just me, or does it look like the turbos/manifolds stick out WAY too much for a honda/acura engine bay. exactly what car does that go in? my guess is one without a radiator. ingenuity none the less.

most turbos/manifolds DO stick that much out.

and to have room up front a half radiator is used with a good manual controlled fan.

that post has been on there for a long time, the guy will pretty much admit it is just for show or to say (i have a twin turbo ls/vtec) twin turbo on an inline four is pretty useless anyways

yeah twin turbos is useless . . . you can make the same amount of power by using the proper sized single turbo, but the thing with this day and age is all about just trying new things and being different. Anyone can slap on a turbo kit and drive around, but it's the fact that he went the extra step to set himself a part from other people. I think that's pretty bad ass, and I can him the well deserved respect for his work.

dont get me wrong its pretty crazy that he was able to do that but why does averyone have to be an individual nowadays. it doesnt matter how individual you are when you get the pants beaten off of you by some shitty dodge shadow turbo or any other shitty single turbo car for that matter.

well not everyone cares about that, and not everyone races now days. It's just like saying that the Tri-Turbo Supra is lame . . . . people do it to be different which is kewl, because to me it just seems like all cars are the same now days

Yea anyone with money can get a nice car, but to have things no one has ever seen before takes true creativity and talent

exactly my point . . . . granted it might be stupid to some people, but that's what the import scene is all about . . . being creative if you can and where you can.

Creativity sometimes cost $$ but not always
