ralliart, twin turbo'd???

k i am posting this to see if this is possible

i have a local car club and one of my members who has a 2006 RA thinks its possible to do a twin turbo to a RA, im very skeptical...

it's possible but it's also pointless. why would you want to put 2 very small turbos on the RA, which would mean only 2 cylinders pushing per turbo, when you can put a huge turbo on the RA because it's basically a stroked 4g63 and make massive power. just my .02!!!!

to much lag, in almost any car. its more logical for a single turbo. one spool all the way through.

the only reason (moslty) for a twin turbo setup is becase the main turbo is sooo big that it needs a smaller turbo to spool up more quickly to spool up the big one so the lag isnt gawd aweful.

2 turbos are posible but totally unessesary... is double the trouble when assesing a problem and setting and race-wise is just to damm slow for a 4cil... but if the car is for show only.. go for it...

But you can do a Turbo/Supercharger setup, wich is very effective if done right and can create very fast, and very high HorsePower ranges, i have a fiend at work that will be doing this on his 4 cyl Mini. So with the proper setup,anything can be possible.

Everything's possible nowadays, but it'd be very expensive. Single turbo is the way to go.

Alot of money.. Plus.. No room for both in our bay. Plus our motors weren't built to handle that kind of setup, Our motor will be running faster(SC), plus Boost will put a piston through our hood or faces... Think resonable. a 600HP RA is worthless. You wont get the tracation you need. Single turbo, RRM has an amazing setup. Id give rob a call, he can def talk you/friend through everything. He knows his products inside and out! With a turbo you pretty much should upgrade everything else. A turbo setup alone will benifit you but not the way it should. With a turbo, Upgraded brakes, Suspension, Car i think should sit lower and be able to hold traction. So that means tires as well. Put a SC on a stock chevelle and watch it eat tires and no traction. yeeeeah smoke, fun. untill you relize you just blew your clutch and 2 tires... not sure if you dont understand what im getting at by yeah. ha

Yeah, they call it "twin charger", and I was very tempted about going that way when I had my 03 Mini Cooper S. Expensive kit though at $5k + installation, but yeah, power is i
