si wants supra Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Hi their was just wondering the difference between a Supra twin turbo set up and a skyline twinturbo setup, if someone could please enlighten me it would be much appreciated. Thanks Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 isn't it that the supra's twins are sequential and that the 'liners both come on boost at the same time? could be wrong but then i AM an NA owner!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Skylines are parallel, and soops are sequential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Correctamundo... Also They use Garrett style turbo's and we have er I forget Mitsubishi or Hitachi ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si wants supra Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 Second question can you have parallel turbos on the Supra, or is this just a ball ache job which would cost mega money, the only reason I asked is that I was reading a thrad on hybrids or big single, and saw that with hybrids you could only max out to about 500hp but yet Liner's can push a hell of a lot more power on a twin setup. My friends drive the skylines and Iam partial to the twin set up. Cheers Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 You can easily make a Supra run its turbos in parallel but it won't make you any more power. The stock turbos aren't large enough to make 500bhp. Hybridised stock turbos might just about reach 500bhp but that really is the upper limit.

Ian C Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 *deep breath* The liner won't do 500+bhp on it's stock twin turbos. Neither will the Supra You can get big twins on a Supra but you lose the sequential system Benefits of big twins over big single are debatable Going parallel on a stock Supra is a simple matter of wiring some actuators open Actual benefits from doing this are suspect, drawbacks are all too apparent Consider lag and drivability when talking about bigger turbos *breathes out* -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I still want to know why you can't whack on a great big second turbo, to get the best of both worlds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si wants supra Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 Cheers guys now feel a bit more knowledgeable, and I understand they wont give me more power running parallel, but would they not run cooler than in sequential form, for that was a big player in runnin hybrids @ 500 hp its possible with all the right bits but your still pushin them to their limit and heat they would course would be dangerously high, would this not help in this area or again am I talking pooh. cheers Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I still want to know why you can't whack on a great big second turbo, to get the best of both worlds. Can you fit one in the space? NO And that concludes this lesson And further more - the system is designed to use 2 turbo's of the same size therefore, NO again....

The hybrid turbo's are larger (internally) which allows then to flow more air and create less heat at stock power levels...it has nothing to do with their operation mode.

Marty Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Did anyone see the supra tuned up by JUN ?? the one they used to do the top speed on the salt planes? im sure that was runnin two HUGE turbos, t78s or somethin similar, it had a big louvre in the bonnet where the turbos sat so the bonnet would shut. Think it got up to 250mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Found it, http://www.junauto.co.jp/democar/akira-supra/index.html?en Bet it took some squeezing to wack 2 t78's in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
