Reliability wise twins are twice as likely to fail.

Simple maths.

depends.

If one turbo of a twin setup fails, you still have one good one.

If one fails on a single setup, you have zero good ones.....

Twin is better for reliability.

when it comes to GTR's and reliability, we all know the more you pay for the car, the better condition and looked after it is.

typically dealers and importers sell the best condition GTR's.

if you want Twin GTR's... well, theres a saying to have 1 GTR you need enough money for 2, so if you want Twins you'll need enough money for 4.

To get a legit answer people would need to know what kind of turbos your comparing....

Standard twin low mount ceramic with wheels? Or standard n1 turbos with steel wheels?...twin high mount td06s? Twin precisions?

Single t28 bush bearing

or bb? (<<lol) Single precision? T88? T51r?

And also what do u want to do with the car? Drag racing? Circuit racing? Only street?

And is this a eoi? Or sale?

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Should have asked what is the car?

      Blue slip

      By PranK · Posted

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
