neilp9876 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Just been looking at these turbos... https://www.speedforsale.com/supraparts/stu-usdm-gt28-hybrid-stock-twin-turbo-upgrade-600rwhp-sfs-mkiv-gt28usdm-p-553.html It appears that you can run them with all the standard pipework and ECU but I may be mistaken. What appeals to me is that they can produce more power but the car remains (kind of) standard. Why wouldnt someone upgrade to these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 You can run them with all the standard pipework yes, they look like stock twins. However you'd still need larger injectors and extra control (syvecs) if you want to do it properly You could run upto 1.2-1.4 bar unless the JSpec injectors are 100% duty. The main advantage to a single turbo is that it's simpler to work on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'd be concerned about reliability. Besides, to get more power you'll have to upgrade fuelling. The J-Spec car won't do over 1.2 BAR, and for safety I'd pull that back to 1.1 or even 1 BAR. The UK-Spec will do 1.4 BAR in theory, but again I'd be pulling that back to give some extra headroom.

Luxluc Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 To be very honest, I would never go for hybrid twins. A small single will outspool these and push better numbers and give a more proper power delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 My Supra went through numerous different setups. In2007, my euro-spec turbos (same as UK-sec) were running 1.45 bar a BPU. 1 year after having gone BPU, I installed my first single turbo (60mm). The 60mm spooled so much faster .... and the power delivery was much more impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Don't tell anyone but I ran 1.3bar on my j-spec twins occasionally with no issues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I ran some hybrids that I had converted from some UK spec turbos, and also ran them in TTC mode, you WILL need some form of ECU control IE a piggyback at least, and larger injectors, I maxed out my std ones at just over 1 BAR, but the turbos I had where not the same spec of those .

drift_bear Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 My hybrid twins run the same power as a small single, the figures are in my sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Thing is though, your setup is top of the line. All things considered, it wouldn't be much more expensive to go single. Im glad you didn't though, nice to see people doing different things rather than just follow the beaten path Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im glad you didn't though, nice to see people doing different things rather than just follow the beaten path Yeah you are right, I don't need much to go single anymore tbh. I'm glad I decided to test the limits of the hybrids tbh, they have been on the car for 5 years now and are still pulling strong at 1.5/1.6 bar! I've always wanted a big power supra eventually, but I'm going to be going down the big twin route and not the usual single route, again just to be slightly different (not by much though, since a few others are running that set up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
