The TT has been developed for the EJ25, and is being tested on an Impreza 2.5 RS. For updates on this kit, go to http://www.i-club.com/forums/showthr...hreadid=151721

Thats pretty sad when you dont even know how many turbos your car has.

Yeah but your B4's are bullshit! The JDM and NZ-spec B4's make 206 Kw as opposed to the 190 Kw that the Aussie version, come to think of it for some odd reason, the Auto version is only 190Kw........The Blitzen is production, not prototype, but only VERY limited numbers were produced.....

And as for Twin turbo WRX :silly2: :silly2: :silly2: :silly2: :silly2: only the STi is TT, the normal one is a single Turbo

Sense when? Last time I checked the closest an STi got to two turbos was the B4 it sat next to on the lot

Any who, I wonder how much the fab job on that TT WRX cost?

As far as TT vs. Big Single, it all depends on application. IMO TT makes a better track car were a large single works better in drag strip racing. Apparently others agree because the guys who race GTRs on a road course just upgrade TTs, but the drag guys slap a huge fuckoff single on it.

ask the person to point out this second turbo, and tell us all which part of the engine he points to.

is there even a 4 cylinder car with a twin turbo set up? i allways thougth the porpus up haveing 2 turbos was to handle the larger airflow from having a larger diplacment engine, eg 6cylinder. it would be a alternetive to having a single large one haveing to wait through a lot of lag. having t turbos decreases spool time and can handle the same amout of air as a single huge one. if i were you i would'n even argue with the kid. just turn your cheek and laugh to yourself. haha if this post where on i-club it would have gotten eaten up.

There are some guys running twin turbos on 3s-GTEs. Basically you run TT if you want to have the quick spoolup of a small turbo but be able to run lotsa boost. If you don't have to worry about spool for one reason or another (NO2, Turbo mated with Supercharger... whatever) you go with a big single. A large single is used alot by drag racers, TT for track guys. As I said in my previous post, it all depends on what you wanna do with it. Also, as far as airflow from a larger displacement engine, you can spool bigger turbos easier with a larger displacement engine because of the larger EG flow so higher displacement engines can use larger turbos easier then smaller, hence the reason you see tiny TTs on small displacement engines (VR4, GTR ect) and... well... I can't think of any big displacement single turb cars right now

Bently Turbo R. GTs-t Skylines. Early R30 GTR Skyline. Most Turbo Deisels. Early Turbo Supra.

Anyway, Both the GT Legacy and the RX7 used Twin Turbos from the mid 90s on. Both are fairly small displacement engines, and both uses a small secondary and larger primary Turbom, to provide low and high end boost. i.e. A sequential set up.

The GTO/3000GT/VR4 and the 300z both use one small turbo for each bank of cylinders.
The VR4 in Japan by the way is the Gallant. The early ones used the same engine as the EVO, and were in fact know as the EVO 0's as they were the test bed for the EVO 1 running gear.
The later Gallant VR4s then became fat and heavy, and gained a samll 2l Twin Turbo V6. Which I believe use's a sequential Turbo set up.

alot of you dont realize that the impreza doesnt have enough power for twin turbo... your giong to be getting mad turbo lag if you even try... no matter how small the twin turbos are, its still takes ALOT more exaust pressure to get them to spool...
