In relation to the spooling of the turbos -
Displacement: 2498 cc
Compression Ratio: 9.0:1
Cam duration (both sides): 240°
Camshaft Lift (both sides): 7.80
Displacement: 2568cc
Compression Ratio: 8.5:1
Cam Duration Intake: 240°
Cam Duration Exhaust: 236°
Cam Lift Intake: 8.58
Cam Lift Exhaust: 8.28
Now, it doesnt exactly show any difference but the lift difference between the 2 heads (obviously the RB25 isnt using vct) stock for stock (i havent been talking modified motors at all) will show a bit of a difference. the SCR difference would give the RB25 a earlier boost threshold yes, then take into account the single tb compared to the itb setup and its a little more apparent to reason that it would almost cancel the SCR gains that a RB25 would have.
I am not in any way saying that Twins will be anywhere near as responsive as a equivelently rated single (2 twins rated to 600hp total compared to a single for the same) but to compare a single setup on a RB25 compared to a RB26 with the N1's is a bit crazy so to speak.
I do agree with the Diesel side of things you have to say though - SCR, large capacity means no waiting around for the boost to be available.
oh and the ITB difference to a Single is rather evident if you look at the likes of a GTI-R compared to the same spec SR20DET with a single..
