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.

    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
