Dumb Question For The Turbo Guys

[MyLil'Pony]

I don't know much about twin turbo systems on the 03-04 cobras. How do they compare in the 1/4 with the Kenne bell/Whipple? I was toying with the idea of going twin turbo instead of one of the upgraded twin screws and was wondering if it was worth the extra $$$$$$. I would imagine low end torque would suffer a bit, but once they get spinning it should get interesting ;-)
Can anyone with experience enlighten me please?
Thanks!

Take whatever KB HP number @ whatever boost level and add 100-125 RWHP to it.

Spinning that hot mess of screws and oil on top of your motor steals that much power.

How do the 1/4 times compare to the twin screws... all other mods being equal? BTW, nice vids! :rolling:

My bud went from 10.7 @ 132 with a Whipple + Spray to 10.00 @ 141 with a Hellion single T-76 on the stock engine. Twin's make even more power. There are guys running mid 9's @ 143+. Just wait until some of these THP cars get going like mine and Postbans....it's going to be even better.

WOW! that's very encouraging to hear.... I'll have to give this some serious thought now(not to mention sign my life and first born away) :smmon:

also turbos = less stress on the motor and better gas mileage! lol

How do turbos = less stress on the motor????

There is nothing driving them except exhaust. It takes over 100HP to spin a KB to 23+ psi. The fuel demands from a turbo are considerably lighter too.

+1 :beer:

I went from 200 miles per tank to 250 after the turbo install. I could probably get 300+ on highway.

Damn I want a turbo sooooo bad. Maybe next year.

Sorry to highjack the thread, but does any of you guys know if you will pass emissions with a twin turbo kit?

Not in CA, that's for sure....unless you know someone. It's not of concern for me, we don't have emissions testing anymore in MN. One of few good things Jesse Ventura is credited with. :beer:

 

[smashedheadcat]

The HP kit won't pass emissions either. It doesn't have cats, nor does it have a provison for the EGR valve. I guess you can make a few changes and probably get by. The inspectors will probably be so "in awe" about your badass twin turbo ride that they might pass you anyway.

 

[Quiksilver98]

ok thanks you guys!

 

[ilumo]

Why are you saying that a Twin turbo setup will give you more power than a single turbo? I think a properly setup single will make just as much, if not more power than a twin setup (depending on where you put the turbo(s))... and you reduce all the plumbing by 1/2. Less money, less weight..

i want a Hellion turbo so bad too
man, i am saving up rite now
i was thinking using my credit card to get the kit then pay them back month by month :lol:

 

[FordRacing200]

You guys wondering about emissons, I know in NY its not as simple as adding a egr valve and a couple of cats, the system needs to be CARB certified and be tag'd with a carb certification number to allow it to be passed.

what's the Hellion kit run $$ wise anybody know? Also how is the TQ down low with a turbo?

 

[I8URZ28]

nevermind the $$ question found the website :rockon:
