Custom twin turbo setup?

I have seached and did not find any posts by someone who actually tried this and post the result. Is there anyone here that runs a custom twin setup? What kind of turbos do you use? What do you think of the result?

I have previously used a Twinturbo IHI RHF6 setup for my 13B and loved the smoth boost buildup. Easy to drive on the track even on high boost. I would like to try the same with my 20B project. All experience in this subject is highly appriciated.

Thanks!

Are you sure you're in the right section?

If so, how do you divide 3 into 2?

The power delivery you peak of wasn't from having twin turbos, it was from having large exhaust area of the turbine housings and turbine wheels.

My previos setup was using 51mm inducer 65mm exducer compressor and 63mm inducer turbine. Not shure of AR on the housings. Do know they beat the hell out of my friends Turbonetics T66 setup. Much faster spool, smother boost buildup, boost at lower rpms and killed the T66 at higher revs.

Back on track. Does anyone know some facts about a Twin turbo 20b setup? Another advantage is that space is easier to find in the engineroom for 2 smaller turbos then one big baster. I have seen how easy you can fit for example a Holset HX60.... or not without cutting in the hood.

I don't build cars for show.
I build them to perform.

My basic math tells me 3 doesn't go into 2 very nicely.
So what does 3 divide into nicely...?

^maybe he meant it wasn't a good idea to run an upgraded inline pump with the stock pump in the tank. But if you upgrade the stock pump as well it would be better with the inline pump?

Is the inline a walbro? I have an intank walbro and an inline walbro on my FC.



On Topic:

Why not just run a triple turbo setup like above?? More wow factor(hey your building a show car right?) and you don't have to worry about trying to divide 3 into 2.

WOW, you come in and shat in this thread just so that you can try and insult me?
Well, it's not my fault you don't know how to communicate well...
Try taking some ENGLISH classes.
It goes a long way when you can effectively communicate what you're trying to say to other people.

Thanks for the pics. You dont have pics on the manifold out of the car?

Right now it points towards a tri or single setup. The question however is the space with the tri setup and if its worth spending the time. Im not building for show or drag. It will mostly be used as a street and trackcar.
