Hey I heard a stupid quote the other day.

I was at a car shop the other day... one of those autobarn ones I think.

Anyways I overheard this guy and he was going on about his car so much to the customers.

He was saying that he owns a R33 GTR that has over 350rwkw on it. The funny thing is that he was saying all these things to these customers that were after some parts for their skyline.

He claimed that he has two different sized turbos on his car. One bigger one and a smaller one. Twin turbo?

And not only that he was claiming that he just finished putting extractors in his car?

First of all I dont think its possible to put extractors on a turbo car right?

And second, is it possible to run a twin turbo setup but to have 2 different size turbos say a 2530 and a gt30?

I just couldn't believe what I was hearing.

Any comments?

Legacy and B4 run the sequential Twin turbo setup and so do Supras and Late model VR4s. the sequential setup is designed to eliminate lag and give more usable torque and constant boost if possible. one spools up then the other kicks in later on. say the first turbo is small and produces boost from 2000-5000rpm when high enough the small turbo dies off and the big one kicks up and holds her to redline. whats stupid is..

he claims to have a GTR. GTRs are known for ther torque range mid-high. The GTR can rev to 9000rpm why would u have a smaller sequential turbo for low down when a GTR around a track wont go below 6000rpm? quite pointless .. GTRs arnt doughy downlow anyway.

Extractors are mainly tuned lengths of exhast piping dsigned to maximise flow...

It could be true and if it is he has shit loads of dosh I looked into this for the rb20 and it would cost atm over 20K for the setup through WTF Auto who know loads about this kind of setup just look at there seq TT Supra.

Also The Rx7 S7 come out with this sorta setup dont know if they where difrent sized turbo's tho.

yeh the RX7 series 6 (i think) has a Bi- Turbo setup, small one for quick spooling, and a bigger one for top end.

Hmm interesting to hear that its possible to run a twin turbo setup with 2 different size turbo's.

I wonder if anyone has ever tried it on a skyline before?

If you have, please post details.

So its basically the same theory as running a supercharger and a turbo at the same time right? I wonder which combo would be more stronger?

i thought the TT rx7's were staged, not sequential.

RX7 is one exhaust housing and 2 turbine wheels. and it sucks arse

Whats sad is this guy is out raping a 33 GTR somewhere :happy: blah someone carjack him

Extractors - Headers - Exhaust manifold. They are all pretty much the same thing and that is to take gases out of the cylinder. Whether it connects to a turbo or a exhaust is not that important.

As for Twin Turbo setup, definately possible but question would be why would you bother going to the effort and expense of doing that, when a normal twin turbo or single turbo setup would suffice.

its possibly. likely no, possible yes

subaru b4 twin turbo has two turbos different sizes

And the B4 was absolutely shite to drive massive dead spot whre the turbo's changed over. Three boost control solenoids from memory 2 wategate control and 1 exhaust valve. Dont get me started on the series six my boss used to tune the factory managment, there is about 24 different boost maps for every operating parameter you can think of.

Have thought about it on a skyline but the costs outweight the benefits. Plus there are a heap of other parameters to consider. My thinking is that if OE cant get it right then aftermarket has little chance!

the big and small turbo thing works, i thought the twin turbo rz supra's ran them

supras run the exact same sized turbo's how ever all exhaust gas flows to one turbo to start up with than change over point (around 4000rpm from memory) and both of them kick in..

same with the rx7's didnt take much notice.. but they are puny little things stock gtr turbos next to them look like gt30's :P same sort of setup as the supra uses.. noticed it to be more agressive on the rx7 tho.. from memory the dyno sheet jumped 60rwkw in the matter of a couple hundred rpm if that ill see if i can dig the dyno sheet up from somewere

    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
