Where are the twins?
- Thread starter tracer
- Start date
It is finally coming together:biggrin:
This is a perfect time as any to say this;
Jay has been working on trying to bring this twin kit to the community for a long time. Luckily we hooked up and between us got this thing going. We searched for a fabricator for a long time. We were sent in the direction of a fellow TR owner and board member. Contacted him and the rest is history. I would really like to thank him for his effort and countless hours he has put into the kit for us. He wishes to stay anonymous for right now, if he changes his mind I will post his name as he deserves alot of credit... Hats off to him though for some beautiful work.....
Now comes the next hard part of fitting everything up making any necessary changes and making it as installer friendly as possible. Alot of work still to be completed as we finish up, we have some cool options to look at on several key issues:biggrin: . Jay will have the car for a few weeks installing and double, triple checking everything. Jay is a mad man and will not except anything short of perfection
This kit will be installed on one of my 87 GN's. It is going in the car in my avatar!

Wow I love those headers they look like top quality welding and heavy duty tubes, when will this be all put together and how much is it going to cost, also what fuel management will work with this setup, can you use the standard ECU to work with twins?, I know, I know to many questions, but I would love to have twin stockers on a stock block with steel caps, setup for 20psi and terrorize everyone on the streets

Until we find someone to mass produce it, I cant really say about cost.
I do think the stock ECM could be used with with the MAF moved to the throttle body so you'd need a Translator and a LT1 MAF.. the test car we're going to install this stuff on has a Translator Pro on it which is probably what Im going to end up recomending people use that dont have a FAST, BS3, etc.

Looks neat, I think the PRO setup would work good for this... I like mine.
If you need some dyno tests on a stock motor 10k mile motor, let me know. I'm still in the air on a turbo/header/IC combo.

Well.. my whole goal with this deal is to have one product that you can bolt on that gives massive horsepower without having to go nuts with others mods.
I think that this setup with two stock turbos will spool with a stock converter, probably be great with a 2800 stall converter and have 0 chance at traction with a 3500.
Ive seen that in action. We put the previous kit on a 109 block with ported iron heads, two stockers and an Art Carr 16390 and it blew a set of 29.5x10.5 slicks away for about 400 feet.

Twin 44 or 49s would be nice on my stock long block and 3200 stall converter.
Thanks for the updates Jay. How are you going to routthe down pipe/pipes, any chance this will connect to s stock location cat.

I think 2 44s will be overkill. Pete Bernard was running 8s with 2 44s on his stage car. We DESTROYED a 109 block with ported irons with two stockers.. blew the crank clean out of the bottom of the engine.
The downpipe for the drivers side turbo runs across the front of the engine and joins up with the downpipe for the other turbo and goes out as one single downpipe. You should be able to mate it up with a cat pretty easily.
Boost is controlled via two Tial 38mm wastegates that are mounted on the downpipe by each turbo.
We're supposed to have intercooler tubing for both the PTE and Cotton intercooler. Between those two intercoolers, we should be able to fit most of the front mounts out there.

Jay,
Overkill is my middle name.
Shane,
Didn't you tell me you wanted to test this on my street car???
Pick up a second stock turbo and call it a day...hmmm
