Im planning on rebuilding an rb engine for my Silvia (actually, first time touching the internals of an engine) and am thinking of going twin turbo parallel. Reason I am concidering, I use to own a 300zx and I just loved how it delivered the power. It felt like driving a non turbo with heaps of power. Now, has anyone done this to an RB engine?

Can I use a Y pipe to combine both turbo's to go into a normal intercooler? or would I need a 2 in 1 out intercooler?

He definitely means just like a GTR.

And yes, the opinion given above is the correct one. Single is better. Much easier to fit in, much easier to pipe, and, depending on power target, with modern turbo designs, no worse lag.

Twin turbo sounds like a cool thing, but the reality is not as good as the theory.

Disagree. Driven many singles and twins before I built mine. Twins up to -5s are much nicer to drive than any single setup I have driven. It sounds good in theory because it is good in practice

nah gonna do a 25/30.

if going into a silvia, and you want twins, go 26/30.

the slightly extra on the head, will more then be saved by the fab work which the 25 would need.

if you keep the 25, just get a GOOD single.

theres alot out yhere now that can make very decent power with good response.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
