I want it to purr like it does with standard exhaust, but gain some power.

will run them next to each other and ad a crossover later if it sounds crap.

Have a theory that the early turbo will create back pressure to the late turbo if the pipes are joined. Could be wrong, dont know too much about cars but would like to try it.

sb..

appart from the extra weight and difficulty in getting decent size pipe diameters to fit it is going to allow more head room for flow potentially.

As for sound? who cares. The sound of power is an easy one to get used to. It will sound different to a single if it makes more power then it sounds better in my opinion. For those hung up on sound why not get rid of the turbo and go NA with a set of extractors (thats where your logic will end up).

It will sound crap. There is no "if"

early turbo and late turbo? a RB26 isnt a sequentially turbo'd motor

Thanks for that, sounds like you saved me some greif, I allways thought they were identical turbos but someone recently told me they weren't. I thought they might be wrong cos i had never read anything like that.

cheers for the help!!

they are identical turbos mate, not sequentialy staged. Providing of course you own a GTR i suggest you run outside and have a look under the bonnet. or drive it. then tell us if you think it's sequential turbo or not.

oh yes! its a GTR, took it for a couple of hot laps around the block just to make sure, he he.

No i dont think they are sequential.

wish you could just throw one on to see what it sounds like.

I will have a twin exhaust on my RB26 in approx 6-8 weeks should chrissy not get too expensive

And this is from a person who has done this just a little more than once...

cross-over to balance it or it does sound... yuk!

originally you said a twin system would sound crap.now you are getting one but it will only sound good with a balance pipe.I guess then type/placement/diameter/brand of mufflers/resonators/cats etc is irrelevant : "they will all all sound crap"

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
