Its a very smart idea back in the days tho. It can work our really well just depending on how it has been set and twicked. If I ended up owning a supra or building a sequential setup for my guinea pig, I'll sure be able to make top HP with minimum lag.

I can't think of any company that makes a sequential setup really worth all the effort.

With modern turbo design, a single just makes everything neater and if you're that hung up on milli seconds of lag, you shouldn't be on the street anyway.

Ever humped the exhaust manifold, turbos, gates, valving etc from a 2JZ. It's bloody heavy and stupidly complicated.

They're prone to sticking so the primary turbo ends up doing all the work, secondary doing nothing.

You think your Skyline exhaust manifold studs are working hard, they're holding a fraction of the weight compared to a sequential, and all the additional manifold struts don't help with the thermal expansion.

In a truck engine with maybe a 1000rpm usable rev range, the complications of sequential and exhaust recovery turbines are accepted whereas any modern car engine has a much larger usable rev range.

Cat C-15 Acert went the sequential route, Detroit DD15 went single turbo plus exhaust recovery turbine.

Cat is buried under lawsuits, clients suing for loss of income...........while MTU Detroit powers on.

yeah sequential is great IF its working correctly, mazda (13BTT) and toyota (1J) gave it a shot but i believe they both went back to singles (also more cost efficient)

you are quite correct, the 1J no sequential turbo but the 2j did

jc cosmo had sequential (1990 to 1995)

toyota supra mark 4 had sequential

mazda rx7 fd3s had sequential

Well if you spend enough time on adjusting the valves and actuators there is no dealt that the sequential system can work perfectly. Most of the setups are made for stock turbos at factory boost level and it works fine on the setup its designed for.

Interesting thread

Im not familiar with RB26 motors and twin turbo setups so my question is this. Being a parallel setup, RB26 motors have two turbos that are the same size and share the work load at the same time but with a sequential setup you have two turbos of varying size and the smaller one works at the lower rev range whilst the bigger kicks in when you work up the rev range. Is this correct? And are all RB26 motors (32, 33 and 34 GTR) parallel setups? What about the new GTR?

Cheers guys

Sequential is where two turbos the same size are staged.

Ie the 2j below 4000rpm (ish) all 6 cylinders blow through one turbo. Above that. Both turbos are used there is a noticeable dip in the power at the change over point.

A small/large turbo setup is compound turbo charging. Where the exhaust outlet of the smaller turb feeds to turbine inlet of the larger. Same for the intake (cold) side

Cheers guys,

PIGGAZ, I received a response from a forum member saying that as the R35 is a V6 and not a straight 6, the setup would be different. But Im assuming that despite the difference in setup, it will nonetheless be a "Parallel" setup yeah?

One bank of 3 cylinders feeding one turbo with no funky valving. Same same on a straight 6 like the RB26. On either engine there is no "staged turbo" arrangement.

Not true. 2JZ was indeed sequential with 2 equal sized turbos. Rotaries though, were sequential with small and big turbos. The turbos still flow in parallel, its just that they are staged so that one doesn't come in until higher revs/more flow.

Compound turbo arrangements require that the air flows through first the bigger compressor stage, then the smaller compressor stage, whilst the exhaust flows through first the smaller turbine, then the larger turbine. Depending on how much work you need to do on each of those compressors, there is probably some freedom as to which turbine they are each connected to. There is also some freedom to use more than 2 stages, and to variably choose whether to compound all the stages of both sides, or run the turbines in parallel, or various other options.

    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
