I just reading about the new BMW going twin turbo and it says that they are using two different turbos, one for low end response and the other for top end, sounds like a good idea to me and was wondering if anyone on here has tried it, as a lot of threads cover turbo results and they are either good for low or top end end performance and this seems a good way to beat the lag beast.

OOpps 330bhp not 166kw (cant seem to edit this out of topic)

Well the closest you will get to a factory car in AU with this setup would be to go and have a look at how the supra's do it. Its probably effective if the car came like that from the factory, but the expense to do it as an aftermarket project would be a bit over the top for the results achieved I would think. This is where people settle for what best suits their driving habits.

Biggest thing I find when you get away from using factory ECU's and such, you're throwing away millions of dollars worth of R&D to lose your economy idle ups and such. Plus then you have blokes that have to work on a non standard car and troubleshoot blindly.

you got it wrong there col. GTR's aren't sequential. Supra's are as well as Legacy B4/GTB's and Cosmo's. Soarers arent. i think RX7's are. and i dont know about GTO or 300ZX but i doubt the V6's work like that.

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
