Hey I heard a stupid quote the other day.

I was at a car shop the other day... one of those autobarn ones I think.

Anyways I overheard this guy and he was going on about his car so much to the customers.

He was saying that he owns a R33 GTR that has over 350rwkw on it. The funny thing is that he was saying all these things to these customers that were after some parts for their skyline.

He claimed that he has two different sized turbos on his car. One bigger one and a smaller one. Twin turbo?

And not only that he was claiming that he just finished putting extractors in his car?

First of all I dont think its possible to put extractors on a turbo car right?

And second, is it possible to run a twin turbo setup but to have 2 different size turbos say a 2530 and a gt30?

I just couldn't believe what I was hearing.

Any comments?

Legacy and B4 run the sequential Twin turbo setup and so do Supras and Late model VR4s. the sequential setup is designed to eliminate lag and give more usable torque and constant boost if possible. one spools up then the other kicks in later on. say the first turbo is small and produces boost from 2000-5000rpm when high enough the small turbo dies off and the big one kicks up and holds her to redline. whats stupid is..

he claims to have a GTR. GTRs are known for ther torque range mid-high. The GTR can rev to 9000rpm why would u have a smaller sequential turbo for low down when a GTR around a track wont go below 6000rpm? quite pointless .. GTRs arnt doughy downlow anyway.

Extractors are mainly tuned lengths of exhast piping dsigned to maximise flow...

It could be true and if it is he has shit loads of dosh I looked into this for the rb20 and it would cost atm over 20K for the setup through WTF Auto who know loads about this kind of setup just look at there seq TT Supra.

Also The Rx7 S7 come out with this sorta setup dont know if they where difrent sized turbo's tho.

yeh the RX7 series 6 (i think) has a Bi- Turbo setup, small one for quick spooling, and a bigger one for top end.

Hmm interesting to hear that its possible to run a twin turbo setup with 2 different size turbo's.

I wonder if anyone has ever tried it on a skyline before?

If you have, please post details.

So its basically the same theory as running a supercharger and a turbo at the same time right? I wonder which combo would be more stronger?

i thought the TT rx7's were staged, not sequential.

RX7 is one exhaust housing and 2 turbine wheels. and it sucks arse

Whats sad is this guy is out raping a 33 GTR somewhere :happy: blah someone carjack him

Extractors - Headers - Exhaust manifold. They are all pretty much the same thing and that is to take gases out of the cylinder. Whether it connects to a turbo or a exhaust is not that important.

As for Twin Turbo setup, definately possible but question would be why would you bother going to the effort and expense of doing that, when a normal twin turbo or single turbo setup would suffice.

its possibly. likely no, possible yes

subaru b4 twin turbo has two turbos different sizes

And the B4 was absolutely shite to drive massive dead spot whre the turbo's changed over. Three boost control solenoids from memory 2 wategate control and 1 exhaust valve. Dont get me started on the series six my boss used to tune the factory managment, there is about 24 different boost maps for every operating parameter you can think of.

Have thought about it on a skyline but the costs outweight the benefits. Plus there are a heap of other parameters to consider. My thinking is that if OE cant get it right then aftermarket has little chance!

the big and small turbo thing works, i thought the twin turbo rz supra's ran them

supras run the exact same sized turbo's how ever all exhaust gas flows to one turbo to start up with than change over point (around 4000rpm from memory) and both of them kick in..

same with the rx7's didnt take much notice.. but they are puny little things stock gtr turbos next to them look like gt30's :P same sort of setup as the supra uses.. noticed it to be more agressive on the rx7 tho.. from memory the dyno sheet jumped 60rwkw in the matter of a couple hundred rpm if that ill see if i can dig the dyno sheet up from somewere

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
